America is now led by men who cannot be relied upon to defend our allies, democracy, or independance. Men who deeply sympathize with the most aggressive dictator in the world, promoting tyranny and oppression.

"America First" has always meant America alone, a predatory America that is no longer based on democratic principles.

Medicaid provides 40% of the funding for community health centers. Medicaid supports 2 out of 3 people in nursing homes. Medicaid provides health care to 41 million children. Trump and his Republican friends want to enact massive cuts to the program. We won't let them.

Some tips for Musk & Trump: A program isn't wasteful just because it doesn't benefit you. Payment for services isn't fraud just because you weren't the one to receive the payment or benefit from the service. A law is not illegal or unconstitutional just because you don't agree with it or like it.

This is our new Deputy Director of the FBI. Law enforcement officers/agents are expected to uphold and apply laws fairly and dispassionately. They're expected to treat everyone with dignity and respect. I have serious doubts that this person will able to discharge his responsibilities as required.

Trump is threatening to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink's satellite communications if they don't sign over their mineral rights to the U.S. This sort of corrupt coercion directed towards people who are fighting for their lives and the survival of their Independence is despicable.

Some people are content with being unhappy as long as people they don't like are even less happy. As long as you give them someone to blame, look down on and treat poorly, they're perfectly content with being treated similarly by those with power and wealth.

The President signed a new Executive Order halting enforcement of the 1977 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which blocks U.S. companies from offering bribes to foreign governments. Trump: "It's going to mean a lot more business for America."

Donald Trump is cutting funding for your kid's school lunch. For your local child care center. For veterans' health care. And for programs that support seniors' retirement. How does any of that make life easier or more affordable for Americans?

Trump behaves like a Tyrant because he lacks the skills, knowledge and prowress to govern like a President. A more skilled negotiator could persuade Congress to do everything he wants to do, legally and lawfully. But instead he is doing everything by Executive Order, via threats and intimidation.

One thing to understand about Trump is that he is, fundamentally, a coward. He stokes conflict with allies in order to claim false victories. He's a toddler playing dress-up and pretend in order to entertain himself and solicit attention. And if he can make some money off of it, all the better.

"We currently do not have an FAA Administrator, because the previous one was forced out by the billionaire who got Trump elected and was given unchecked authority in return. He [the former FAA Admin] was forced out because he tried to fine the billionaire's space company for operating unsafely."

Tyranny: the cruel, unreasonable, or arbitrary use of power or control; the exercise of power or control without legal right. Under the Declaration of Independence citizens have the right and duty to overthrow a government that is behaving tyrannically.

The Trump administration's decision to withhold funds from federal aid programs, loans, and grants is both unconstitutional and illegal. Under our Constitution, only Congress can appropriate funds. Under federal law, the President cannot impound (withhold) funds without the approval of Congress.

Trump's attempt to land military planes in Colombia, unannounced, was gross negligence of duty. "If a foreign country tries to land its military planes - except in an emergency - without an existing agreement, that is an enfringement of sovereignty." - Tim Naftali, Columbia University

Just so we're clear: Removing birthright citizenship via executive order is unconstitutional. Firing Inspector Generals without proper notice to Congress is against the law. Agents entering the private area of a business without either consent or a warrant signed by a Judge, is unconstitutional.
