Exactly as I said on @pivotpod.bsky.social and @cnn.com — though Twitter files “investigation” was an unbelievable dud, a complete hack job, much like, say, the Cybertruck.

DJT explanation of what the Declaration of Independence means, "Well, it means, exactly what it says. It’s a declaration, it’s a declaration of unity and love and respect, and it means a lot, and it’s something very special to our country.”

Last term he set a record for the worst ever net approval rating among independents at -16. He just broke his own record polling at -22. Congrats to those who voted for him because he was gonna *fix* the not broken economy. How your savings? How's that working out for ya?

This president is only about the money. "It is a jaw-dropping conflict of interest for actively managed investment accounts to be marketed under the president's name through a company that is majority-owned by the president." www.blackenterprise.com/trump-scheme...

When China, under Xi, is seen as the "responsible" country as opposed to the US under Trump, there is a big problem on the world stage for current US policy.

In case you're wondering... it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans. And nobody has been fired... Don't stop talking about SignalGate

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

Except for the billionaires in his cabinet, the sycophants that work for him (ergo Karoline Leavitt), and the cultists, everyone else knows he capitulated. Even Fox News has pushed back that the people lining up to negotiate was his exit ramp.
