There are scores of people throughout history who would say this same thing. And history doesn’t look too kindly at them.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - President Lyndon B. Johnson

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

I am so excited I can hardly stand it. Trump has just signed one of his delicious Exec Orders making sure that we Americans get back on that coal train. Get your inhalers ready everyone cause our skies are going to get darker.

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

Being able to heat your home in the winter is not a luxury. It is a matter of life and death. Trump and Musk’s decision to arbitrarily fire every worker in the office that helps working class and low income people heat their homes is outrageous.

Wow!!! Trump is just doing so MUCH for America. Unfortunately, all of it is destroying the USA. The Republican cult has no leadership just a bunch of idiots at a frat party. I’m just waiting for one or two of them getting so drunk with power they actually keel over dead.

Been checking in with friends. All are stressed out beyond their ability to cope. The Trump administration is the cause. Many are protesting, writing emails to Legislators and calling them. Who is listening to America? Media covers few protests. The courts are the only listeners. VoteDemocrat2026.

So Trump says his tariff strategy(?) will create growth in US manufacturing. Companies who comply will take 2+ years to get up and running. Meanwhile a US recession occurs, workers lose jobs and homes, etc. There is no safety net anymore. Many Americans are two paychecks away from disaster. MAGA NO

Thursday Dow is down 3% due to Trump’s slash and burn ridiculous tariff move. No strategy, no logic just have some fun creating chaos. Corporate leaders are shitting themselves trying to figure out what’s next. Will Big T backtrack, cut more, add more countries? America voters, vote Democrat 2026.

Laura Loomer had audience with the king and now three National Security Advisers are fired. Loomer is a White Nationalist and Islamaphobe. She has tried repeatedly to be in Trump’s inner circle but Trump’s advisers discouraged it. Trump overrode concerns and listened to Loomer’s conspiracies. Boom!

Trump is working his tiny brain trying to figure out where and how much to increase tariffs with our world trade partners. Just be assured these actions will bring higher inflation, lower growth and even lower corporate profits. That means higher prices for consumers and layoffs. Who is the winner?

Here's how it works: 1. DOGE fires everybody at USIP. 2. A DOGE guy from GSA gets installed USIP's acting president. 3. That guy agrees to transfer USIP's $500 million headquarters back to GSA—for free. www.wired.com/story/doge-t...

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/u... Tuesday’s Special Elections were not all good news but the Wisconsin win is important. The Florida Republican win did show an erosion of Trump supporters but 2026 midterms require a higher voter dissatisfaction with Trump. Democrats, you have a mission. Speak truth.

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering

www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/... We all know by now that the Trump administration has no capability to govern. Over 20k Health workers have been fired. If they felt they were discriminated they can contact HR Ann Pinter who DIED in 2024! I’d fire these morons but they’d just find more.
