Stiffing workers is the game. Trump’s “deal” to millions of fed workers to take a payout or be terminated has a CLAUSE waiving the right to sue the gov if it fails to honor the “deal.” Trump has no authority to grant pay. apnews.com/article/buyo...

🚨🚨🚨 The House Introduces Bill to Ban Abortion Nationwide. Remember when Trump said he wasn’t going to implement a total abortion ban? Yeah, well here’s the bill proposing a nationwide abortion ban. Just another egregious LIE to add to the long list of lies from this corrupt administration.

Donald Trump, in his inaugural address on January 20, 2025: “We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based.” This is the same man who built his whole career on nepotism, cronyism, and rigging the system for himself and members of his good ol’ boys club.

"Donald Trump's administration is lying to you." Gov. J.B. Pritzker slammed the White House for saying the freeze wouldn’t affect Head Start and Medicaid. This is how we do it. Call out Trump’s lies to the camera, bold, strong action. Hold him accountable, every single time.

Each email and call log is a different violent rioter who assaulted me in the tunnel. If you are defending these people who brutally assaulted the police, maybe you ARE NOT a supporter of the police and the rule of law to begin with. If you did you would want accountability.

Yea, as recently as September, Trump called for the death penalty for drug trafficking. Then yesterday, he pardoned the Silk Road drug trafficker. Because Libertarians-Ross was a big Ron Paul supporter. Oh, and because he was a bitcoin "pioneer "- that's how drugs were bought. Oh, he's white.
