So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

The Republican's (and Russia's) best propaganda machine- 29 years of Fox news. This year it brought them a Presidency, a clown car Cabinet, a completely defanged silent majority in Congress, and turned an long-time enemy of democracy (and us) into the most-beloved friend of POTUS

Trump's Agenda: Trump’s budget plan would add $5 to $11 trillion to the national debt over 10 years. His proposed tax cuts—benefiting the wealthy and corporations—dwarf any savings from slashing federal programs through Musk. NBC News

Last pandemic, Trump had gotten rid of the pandemic response team and prestocked supplies. This next one we can all see coming, we are on our own. Start stocking your pantries and medical supplies

I saw a video of known alcoholic Pete Hegseth drinking multiple scotches in the middle of a televised presser and started laughing so hard I began coughing as I believe we're less than 2 weeks removed from him promising never to drink a single time as Secretary of Defense and nothing matters anymore

In 2018, the Trump administration tried to impose Medicaid "work requirements". Despite the fact that the majority of non-elderly Medicaid adults work, GOP lawmakers continue pushing these barriers to this day—prioritizing tax cuts for billionaires over families in need.
