President Trump is trying to deport an American-born U.S. citizen and has provided absolutely no justification for it. Plain and simple, this is illegal, and I will not tolerate it. www.wpr.org/news/federal...

Trump’s new appointments show which far-right networks are shaping a radical transformation of the administration. GPAHE’s series starts with Project 2025—a Heritage-led plan Trump is rapidly enacting, from gutting DEI & USAID to politicizing the DOJ & FBI—part of a blueprint to dismantle democracy.

This isn’t America First—it’s America alone. People don’t realize the path Trump has us on. While he waits by the phone for Xi Jinping to “negotiate,” Xi’s out making moves—touring Asia and cutting deals with European leaders to make China less dependent on the U.S.

Yesterday deranged chaos agent propagandist RFK Jr attacked people living with Autism by saying they destroy families and called Autism an epidemic. The real epidemic is wretched dastardly repugnant ignorant moronic assholes like him living among us and plaguing society.

Hearing 80%, 1,400, of CFBP employees received a RIF notice today. Let’s be clear: this is an ILLEGAL use of the RIF process. What happened is Trump tried to close CFPB in Feb. A judge stopped him. Now he’s using RIF to close CFBP. No. Gutting CFBP is illegal. The courts must stop this too.

Some people believe that suffering (especially the suffering of others) is righteous tribulation. They also believe that if they cause or enable suffering, they become agents of righteousness. These people are disgusted by compassion. They believe cruelty is necessary and desirable.

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

National Weather Service is expanding cuts to weather balloon launches all across the country now. This is a blanket statement saying that offices are just too short-staffed. Experts have told me that the more launches get cut, the higher the chance forecasting just gets worse

Secretary Kennedy falsely called autism a “preventable epidemic” and ignored decades of science. Autism is not a disease — we are born autistic and remain autistic our whole lives. The real crisis is his war on our rights, care, and existence.

There are 2 reasons the GOP lets Trump do whatever he wants: 1) They’re terrified of the violent MAGA base turning on them. 2) They want this. Trump does what they could never pass in Congress. It’s cowardice—and complicity. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue
