It's so scary and disheartening that there are people in America that want our current POTUS to remain in office forever. So sad....

Jeff Bezos is a decidedly unfit owner for the Washington Post if this is all it takes to get him to fold. Profile in non courage. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/29/w...

And just like that...Bezos crumbled! So disappointed in Bezos....

In a previous post I said Bezos doesn't get it because he's rolling out an electric truck to compete with cybertrucks. Americans are angry and frustrated with the creator of Tesla. Maybe Bezos does get it because he's going to show the tariff next to the price on Amazon. Thanks for being honest!

Black history is American history. Indigenous history is American history. Latino history is American history. Women’s history is American history. LGBTQ+ history is American history. We will not be silenced. We are not going back!

Can members of congress be expelled in the House & Senate? 2026 might be too late. The Republican majority is allowing Trump to destroy America and allowing him to set up an Authoritarian/Dictatorship. It seems like the House and Senate are blocking Americans instead of helping.

A friend of mine has coined the term “Pinocheting” to describe what the government is doing to these prisoners.

Trump is Trump. We knew who is and how he operates. It's the Republicans in the House and Senate that have gone to the dark side that we need to confront. A Leader is only classified as a Leader if he has followers. Stop the Corruptlicans! govtrack.us

Fun site! govtrack.us I didn't realize... Republican House 223: 190 Males & 33 Females. Democrat House 216: 120 Males & 96 Females. Republican Senate 53: 43 M & 10 F. Democrat Senate 45: 29 M & 16 F. Glad I'm a Female Democrat! Geez!

Idiot is so full of revenge. If he is a Christian, he would have been taught 'Let go, Let God" or '...Forgive us our trespassers as we forgive those who trespass against us.' Yet church goers see him as a God loving Christian. I don't get it or them. So much hate and revenge in his blood.

If Americans can't trust our current administration, why would any country?

LISTEN to Barack Obama: The most important office in this democracy is the citizen. Freedom tomorrow is not a given—it has to be fought for.

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

There is a way to SAVE our country but Republicans have tic tacs for balls. It was talked about the first term and I think it needs to be talked about again. constitutioncenter.org/the-constitu...

I'm curious to know who is in charge of telling Trump who should have tariffs against them? Since Trump is operating in a limited mental state, he must be relying on someone. Who is that person? Islands that are uninhibited... Seriously?!

The WORLD is watching Wisconsin and Florida today. What would have typically been a minor election is now under scrutiny. It's a measure of approval of the current Trump regime. I truly hope they vote Democrat to send a message that Americans aren't happy with the direction our country is heading!

The economy is in chaos, the Defense Dept. is trying to cover up leaking war plans in a group chat, and Trump & Musk are dismantling vital programs. What is the GOP using precious Floor time on this week? Repealing refrigerator efficiency standards. You can’t make this up. The GOP is out of touch.

Folks, this is a scam. The GOP is helping Elon Musk and his friends loot the federal government and give themselves billions in federal contracts—and then wants to give them permanent tax breaks on the back end by cutting critical programs. Let's call it what it is: a scam on the American people.

As an American, I feel like I'm going to be making a lot of apologies to the world due to our current dictator! I'm so sorry Canada 🇨🇦, Ukraine 🇺🇦, .... and the list continues to grow...

So we go from 'Lock her up' to 'He learned his lesson'. I don't understand how anyone listening to him thinks he's intelligent. I don't get it. Our National Security and Defense don't like to use other means that are "cumbersome". Maybe don't take the job if you can't handle it or don't understand!

Three days ago Trump took away my non-existent security clearance…. At the same time his cabinet was texting top secret plans with a member of the media on board. Copy that

Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Of course he wants to defund the Department of Education. He loves dumb people that he can easily con.
