Donald Trump ran on getting us out of wars and stopping American dollars from fueling other people’s conflicts. Now he wants us to seize Gaza, displace millions of Palestinians, and turn it into his personal Middle Eastern Riviera—and he’s willing to send U.S. troops to make it happen. (1 of 2)

The irony is that new IRS agents were hired specifically to audit high income earners - NOT like "YOU," but like ELON. He uses regular people as a shield to protect himself and his pals from clawing back what we lose to tax cheats. Elon's fans are useful idiots as he consolidates wealth for himself.

I think @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com just said, Democrats in Congress are trying to fix stupid. 😂 “Every rational thing the opposition is saying to Donald Trump and to Elon Musk is just bouncing off that solid wall of stupidity.” And we need to keep asking them—what are you going to do about it?!

Meta is now removing content related to abortion. Last week, it was LGBTQ+ content. When we say porn is the canary in the coal mine of free speech, it's not because we're narcissists. It's gd warning about what's coming ... for you. All speech that is politically disfavored is at risk.

Workplace raids have begun—none of these people were rapists or criminals. Even if you’re not a US citizen, you still have due process in this country. 3 workers in Newark were taken into custody by ICE w/out a warrant. One, a veteran, endured the humiliation of having his military docs questioned.
