Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

Has anyone pointed out that Trump doesn't seem to know the difference between a trade deficit and a budget deficit

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

Correct. It’s really more of a hijacking than a coup.

Last year, more than 8K murders were committed in the US by American citizens. 29 were committed by illegal immigrants. Trump, using Hitler's Playbook, has demonized immigrants.

Netanyahu is going to delay the cease fire deal that he’s about to announce. So that it happens when Trump is in office or just before. So it looks like Trump did it. Because that’s the SECRET BARGAIN they made back at the illegal summit they had at Mar-a-Lago last summer.

Many Americans voted for a billionaire who now wants to hire his wealthy friends like Scott Bessent. Bessent is worth $525 million and thinks that $7.25 an hour is a living wage. Who you vote for matters. #DemVoice1

A President with absolute immunity to commit crimes and an Attorney General who can't say no. What could possibly go wrong?

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this: Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius. If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

The richest man on the planet could probably solve child cancer himself using less money than he burned destroying Twitter. Instead, he used his influence to strip $190 million from the budget for pediatric cancer research. What a fucking asshole.

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.” The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

Chip Roy is now trashing this Republican bill on the floor because it adds $5 trillion to the debt in 2 years. Not a Democrat.

Here are the 6 MAGA extremists (and their public phone numbers) who have intro'd a bill to allow South Carolina to execute women who receive an abortion. If you haven't heard about SC H3537, it's because corporate media has ignored it. Here's how to fight back: www.qasimrashid.com/p/s-carolina...

This is how the NY Times treated Obama nominees in 2008. Compare to how it treats Trump today. Legacy media is broken. "Mr. Daschle, who failed to pay $128,000 in taxes, primarily for personal use of a car and driver provided to him by a private equity firm for which he consulted."

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD

Tell me more about how you’re deeply concerned that men are transitioning just to prey on women in bathrooms but you’re not concerned at all about the men who are preying on women out in the open and becoming elected officials.
