Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

He would have never been appointed by a president who cared about our military. He’s a disgrace to the people in uniform who serve www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

The Trump administration just argued before the Supreme Court that they have the right to arrest ANY person, US citizen or not, for ANY reason, and send them to a foreign prison ANYWHERE, without due process, and America’s courts have no jurisdiction to stop them. Let that sink in.

Why did so many MAGA folks skip civics and government in school?

This is some sick shit

38 of the 43. "38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic. "The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

🚨URGENT—Despite the Supreme Court declaring that it would be illegal to deport people under the Alien Enemies Act without giving them a meaningful chance to seek judicial review, the Trump admin is reportedly about to send a group of Venezuelans detained in Texas to El Salvador in a matter of hours!

DO NOT LET THEM..... Lie about who the shooter was!! It was a REPUBLICAN!!

Well you can see 👀 dementia Donnie 👇🏾

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

So, the so-called President who “accidentally” sent Abrego Garcia to an El Salvadoran gulag doesn’t “have the power” to bring him back, and the President who imprisoned him there doesn’t “have the power” to send him back? So who the fuck does? The Care Bears? Batman? What the actual fuck???

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Donald Trump betrayed working families by enacting one of the largest tax increases in history. In the process, he destroyed the stock market, and now he’s acting like chaos was always the plan. He does not know what he’s doing.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

Wow!! This is 100% accurate

The utter disdain of this administration with regard to the health of American children is reprehensible and immoral. First the measles travesty and now this. 70 years of medical progress tossed out the window. www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/h...

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent. Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list. This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts. It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

They are obviously slow learners

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Why is that Republicans are always voting against what’s good for women? The Violence Against Women’s Act, the ERA, Birth control, and I could go on. Now the House GOP has voted to strip away our right to VOTE! Call your senators & demand they vote NO on the SAVE Act!

Do not let the Signal catastrophe blow over. Hegseth must resign or be fired.… To start.
