Remember, Trump said he wants Hitler’s Generals. He’s now purging our top military brass to replace them with his lackeys. This should terrify everyone.

Go, #Mexico, GO!! I don't understand why it isn't talked about. US #weapons get shipped illegally to Mexico, go to drug cartels, and #drugs get shipped back. #Canada isn't happy, either. Confiscated drug shipments from US to CA are roughly the same volume as CA->US. Also, mini drones with guns...

When these inaccuracies were first found, they could be called "mistakes." When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."

What are Musk and his hackers doing in the Social Security Administration? Americans paid into these accounts with our hard earned money. It has nothing to do with the deficit. That was caused by GOP tax cuts largely for the rich and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

King Musk-Trump removed the Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour (without cause) and trying to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander. Yep, being Black is a crime.
