Trump’s cohorts have begun wearing Trump pins rather than the US Flag. 🇺🇸 This is no longer the United States of America to them. It’s Trumpland. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

Fox hosts looking stunned while reporting Trump’s tariffs jacked up a special needs toy importer’s bill from $26K to $346K overnight. And we know Trump doesn’t give a damn about folks with special needs. America First? American companies on the brink while Trump pretends China is footing the bill.

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

Americans thinking they have won over China really shows how little Americans know about China. Fox News might feed the propaganda. But the reality for America is dire to say the least. If this really escalates. China will play hardball. China will do two things

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

This isn't difficult to understand. Even the January 6th insurrectionists had due process, their day in court, to protest the charges. As an added bonus, they weren't sent to an El Salvadorian death camp either.

"This is NOT what we voted for." "We voted for a self-confessed sexual predator, convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, insurrectionist, pathological liar, 6 times bankrupt. THAT'S what we voted for. But not this!" GMAFB!

The anti-voter SAVE Act just passed in the House of Representatives. Their motives are clear: the GOP wants to disenfranchise millions of Americans by putting up roadblocks to the ballot box. I will be leading the charge to stop this in the Senate.

Tank the market with tariffs so rich people can buy low then “pause” the tariffs and all those people make vast sums of money?

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

Republicans voted today to add over $5 trillion to debt to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Here’s a scale for that: a million seconds is eleven days; a billion seconds is 31 years; a trillion seconds is nearly 320 centuries. They are looting the country for big donors.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

I have a confession to make. I have helped Greece rip off the US for years because I buy olive oil from the Peloponnese. I also prefer Parmesan Reggiano, so I contributed to the Italian theft of American money. Tariffs are the only way to stop this madnes

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

I think it’s very funny that one of the go-to defenses for Trump’s very stupid version of mercantilism is “he’s had these views for forty years.” Oh well, then we absolutely gotta let him wreck the global economy if he’s believed this nonsense for long enough.

“It took 75 days of Donald Trump’s second presidency for voters to hit the streets en masse. Millions of people showed up this weekend for more than 1,200 anti-Trump demonstrations—all of them peaceful—throughout all 50 states, from Alaska to Alabama to Arizona.” www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...
