NEW: Trump has named Dan Bongino as deputy director of the FBI. Bongino, a radical, right-wing radio talk show host, will join Kash Patel, a fellow radical right-winger who was recently confirmed by the Senate as director of the FBI. In 2018, Bongino proudly declared:…

I implore our people to end the generational curse of being married to someone, splitting and both parties moving on to other people for YEARS while still legally married. When someone dies, it’s a nightmare trying to untangle it all. Just get the damn divorce.🤦🏾‍♀️

Could you imagine being told by the government that your job, the thing that feeds your family and puts a roof over your head, covers your medical bills, saves towards your retirement, is “wasteful spending.” And so you’re fired by a billionaire?

Keep this in mind about African Americans—this is not our first. Our ancestors fought for the freedoms people take for granted today. White people didn’t just wake up one day and decide to hand out rights to non-white people. It was a battle—hard-won, paid for in blood and sweat—never given freely.

I’m kinda blown away by all these TikToks of people showing up to Republican reps’ town halls & letting them have it over Musk/Trump/DOGE. It seems grassroots. If it becomes a lasting trend to go to town halls, shout down people who are lying to you, and post it online, we might all survive this.

When 47 verbally attacked and threatened Governor Mills of Maine, I felt triggered. My biological father used to speak in a similar manner, always threatening and demeaning, especially toward women. This is how abusers operate. I know I’m not alone in having encountered people like this in my life..

Trump’s ugly twists, deranged turns, and flagrant lies are damaging the United States and its allies. The best among us are now the victims of Trump’s betrayals and vengeance — struggling to survive. Trump’s verbal attacks on Ukraine are comparable to “Russian aggression.” Utterly despicable.

The heartbreak. Trump claims USAID is bankrupting America—it’s less than 1% of the budget. Meanwhile, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is gutting the largest food aid provider. He could end world hunger & still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Not just greed. We’re watching evil at work.

All Pete Hegseth talks about is being a warrior and instilling a warrior mindset in the military. Personal courage is the cornerstone of the warrior ethos. I wonder how that fits with being such a coward as to fire generals with 35 or more years of service in a press release on a Friday night.
