Trump is planning a military parade in DC on June 14, but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. I'm rallying on No Kings Day to reject strongman politics and corruption. app.sosha.ai/s/oXg5vAMz

Here is the top comment on this article: “You are advising responsible honest people who have worked hard, saved all their lives… to scale down their retirement dreams because a one person has decided to destroy the US economy. Why not write an article about how to get rid of the real problem?”

Trump can call me names but the truth remains. He is an unhinged wanna be dictator who is angry that I beat him in court and won't cower in fear. Now he is weaponizing the federal government against his political opponents. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

AOC: “A tremendous mistake… turns the federal government into a slush fund for Trump & Musk and cedes congressional authority… almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free…”

Bernie Sanders: "I'm gonna vote no. I think the American people are sick and tired of Elon Musk, the richest guy in the world, running around, slashing Social Security, veterans programs. That Republicans are moving for massive tax breaks and cutting Medicaid ... you gotta draw a line."

Bernie Sanders: "If you do nothing, you sit back and say, 'it's gonna be terrible.' And that's right. A shutdown will be terrible. But our job is to put the onus on the Republican president, the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the people who control the govt"

I do not say this lightly or in jest: The Southern Baptist Convention in general, and the CBMW in particular, are tools of Satan. They have done more for Hell than for Christ. They trample underfoot the Son of God, and profane the blood of the covenant by which they were sanctified.

While it's true that Democrats in Congress -- and especially the House -- have relatively little power right now, what they can do is use their local offices to find people suffering from Trump's policies, like this caller, and lift up their voices and tell their stories

OMB director Russ Vought has officially begun carrying out his section of Project 2025. Technical thread to follow, but it’s really important - this is a major path through which the Trump administration will illegally impound funding, refusing to carry out some of our spending laws.

Trump is following the modern-day autocratic playbook to entrench his faction in office and make it difficult for voters to dislodge them. So, what do we do about it? Preserve electoral competition. Read how to understand and stop the Entrenchment Agenda: https://protdem.org/3DaD1ie

A good portion of Christendom today seems to serve their political beliefs. It seems the political system has become so important to us that we act and speak in ungodly ways to protect what we have labeled godly. Our politics are not our Christ.

Here’s another way to think about it. We import roughly $3.25 trillion in goods every year. Income tax receipts total roughly $2.2 trillion. So we’d need a universal tariff rate of, give or take, 65% to be able to do away w the IRS. But… 1/2

“Despite the demands of Trump, Leavitt, and Big Brother, the AP is not changing their style to suit the whims of a would-be tinpot dictator. And by defying Trump, the AP has created a rallying point for other organizations and individuals to find their spines and defy him as well.”

Europe needs to face reality: The US under Trump cannot be considered an ally: 1. Trump does not even in words guarantee the security of allies. 2. Trump refuses to discuss "peace plans" for Ukraine. 3. He is giving Russia free access to US intelligence through Tulsi Gabbard.
