Trump’s whole strategy is to constantly set fires, and the media obeys and jumps to cover each blaze. What they don’t like is when we keep a topic front and center. Don’t let them move on from covering our loss of due process. Keep up the pressure!

Just a reminder that ALL of the people sent to El Salvador are serving life sentences despite not being convicted in a court of law.

So much for bringing back manufacturing. The tariffs didn’t even last a week. I am starting to think it was a lie.

The stock market has dropped, but the plunge is abated by those who hold their breath, hoping that the orange man will change course and grant them reprieve. He will not. The tariff is the golden calf he worships, and it will be calamity for us all. More pain is ahead.

When economies are growing you don’t cut jobs. Every person you lay off is a consumer that you remove. 20,000 people fired means 20k people who aren’t buying new homes, cars, vacations, or goods. This administration is creating their own recession.

In yet another win for MAGA, the senate overturns limits on bank overdraft fees. I think we know who their real constituents are.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

I’m not going to defend Hegseth, but if the info would have prevented Houthi deaths it would have been welcome. The US does not need to do Israel’s dirty work.

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

All individuals deserve the right of due process. Citizens, criminals, immigrants, undocumented persons, terrorists, enemy combatants, etc. It doesn’t matter. Your rights aren’t granted from citizenship, they are innate.

Republicans make everything suck. They tear down the institutions and somehow think they made things better. I have an idea. Exempt anyone who doesn’t want to be part of the system from paying taxes. Then we can build a great system for those who want it and the others can fuck off.

Remember how people voted for a guy because he said he could bring prices down but instead decided to raise prices on everyone with a stupid trade war?

Why does the US continue to increase defense spending when they have no interest in using any of it to support Ukraine?

Trump doesn’t seek peace. He seeks appeasement. The cost we pay for that will be heavy.

As they beat the drum of “insufficient evidence” about gender affirming healthcare, you’d think that the trans skeptics would relish the chance to generate more evidence. Of course, these studies do conflict with their reality—or at least reveal a more nuanced one.

Left-wing censorship was a fantasy, but the right-wing censorship is real, unconstitutional, and murderous. There was no majority anti-conservative social media bias or casual forced use of words like “birthing person.” But stripping protest rights and official language is actual deadly censorship

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

Yesterday’s white house meeting was Kayfabe. The only person who didn’t know was Zelensky. Trump sees our government as nothing more than a TV show.

When we reduce government spending it is important to remember that there is still a debt that has to be paid. That requires income. It is counter productive to slash jobs that generate revenue and slash IRS funding that helps pay off the debt.
