I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza. But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

Trump started a Department of Government Efficiency and is using C-17s planes to transport 200 people to India instead of the many cheaper and more fuel efficient charter 777s already on long term contract with ICE Air. 🙄 He couldn't be more Orwellian if he were actively trying!

From the ashes of a deadly pandemic made worse by Trump's first term, Americans had begun to reclaim a sense of safety and progress in the Biden years—until the return of Trump to office plunged the nation instantly back into chaos, unease, and danger. Does anyone feel safe in Trump’s America?

In all this Trump DEI bullshit, media isn't focused at all on how the President pretty much blamed the dead soldier piloting the helicopter. 😳😳

FAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA. There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.

Every Democrat in the country needs to show such headlines to every Republican they know. Really? Your ICE is targeting Navajo? That's your definition of "America"? Scaring the Navajo?

I wonder how Rep Senator Tim Young is feeling right now. The Revenge Tariffs from Columbia are really bad for our farmers (and also bad for Colombia. 96.7 % of their corn for livestock comes from the USA ) Again I think this ends fast. But it’s interesting www.legistorm.com/stormfeed/vi...

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.” “Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.” “Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.” “‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us” Pause. “I needed to make a statement.”

Want a great slogan for midterms? "If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you " You get the point. FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Bookmark Trump knows he can't keep mass deportations going too long. USA is too litigious & business minded a country for it to not get stayed and fought in courts. So he'll start with easy LIFO targets. Achhedin Amritkaal hordes of single young Indian men from 3 states.

Four years ago, officers of the law stood their ground to protect Members of Congress and staff as violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol. These brave officers were beaten, crushed, bear sprayed, maced, and left to defend democracy with their bare hands.
