In just 100 days, Trump has launched an unprecedented attack on the rule of law, trampled due process, and violated the Constitution. He never wanted to represent you—he wants to rule you. The complicit GOP is paving the way for him to become a dictator.

House Judiciary R’s just voted to permit ICE to deport American citizens. Read that again. DEPORT AMERICAN CITIZENS. They are so beholden to Donald Trump that they are happy to deport their own constituents. Shameful and despicable.

The grift comes full circle. Musk took a $465M government loan to build Tesla—now he’s using DOGE to kill off the very office that helped him succeed—because it might help the next innovator, not him. This isn’t “efficiency.” It’s sabotage!

There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all. It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.

Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them.

DOGE claims that they saved taxpayers $160 billion, but it will end up costing taxpayers more than twice that amount. That means, in the end, taxpayers will be on the hook for another $200 billion or so, by the time you factor in all the pending and future litigation, and workers compensation.
