Why is no one asking, "What does Putin have on Trump?"

submitted 4 hours ago • 0 comments

My heart breaks for the millions of Ukrainians who have been betrayed by our traitorous president in his pathetic quest for Putin’s approval. Ukraine’s people have shown immense courage in the face of Russia’s brutal, illegal aggression; they deserve our admiration and support. Trump is a quisling.

If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on ANY spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way. Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s. Have you learned NOTHING? Not. One. Vote.

“Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular.” — Timothy Snyder

On this day in 1956, Rosa Parks and other civil rights activists were unjustly arrested for organizing the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Today, decades later, we continue to honor and recognize the strength of these brave organizers who helped pave the way for the civil rights movement.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

“Clearly contrary to manifest public interest” is the standard for when a judge can countermand the government’s decision about dismissing a prosecution. The interesting question is, what would the prosecution look like if a judge did that with the government unwilling to proceed?

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Vought helped pen Project 2025 & brought chaos to communities all over this country w/ spending freeze! This is the leadership we need on all nominations of incompetents & extremists who let billionaires raid the public pantry, while people struggle to pay for eggs, rent or worry about health care.
