Worse, the guy who only got his job because Trump thought he was telegenic on his favorite FOX weekend show directly made racist and sexist comments against these two leaders.

And we have a deranged fool in charge who is shutting down the page where people can order free Covid tests and reportedly contemplating destroying the 500,000 tests that Biden compiled for people to request.

I’m not an expert on the market, but I think I’ve heard that it does not like instability.

If this was about saving money, they wouldn’t have a $4 trillion addition to the deficit in their budget to secure their precious tax package. This is all about crippling government and then privatizing with Elon Musk getting first dibs at using his businesses to replace government functions.

Trump is meeting with the Saudi Arabian LIV golf and PGA tour reps to negotiate a business deal that will financially profit him from the oval office. Aside from the disgrace of that to our office of the presidency, recall that Saudi Arabia was behind the 9/11 attacks. Saudis murdered Kasshoggi.

It’s important to make autocrats seem small.Trump is not in charge. MAGA think Elon is doing God’s work by destroying the “deep state.” Democrats need to start asking who’s in charge. Republicans belittled Biden as “sleepy Joe.” Every time Trump is asked about what Musk is doing, he doesn’t have ⤵️

Marco Rubio‘s family fled a communist machine in Cuba to come to the United States for the freedom in our democracy. Shame on him for undermining democracy in Ukraine, and propping up a brutal dictator who has always been a war criminal and a US enemy—Vladimir Putin. Trump stink.

So Mitch McConnell won't be seeking re-election next year. Good riddance. He and Merrick Garland share much of the blame for this neo-fascistic second Trump term.

Imagine if after 9/11 another world leader talked about Bush the way Trump is talking about President Zelenskyy. Imagine them trying to do some kind of business deal for some of our precious resources as a condition for fighting for us. I just feel sick to my stomach right now to be an American.

It’s amazing to me that people still question whether or not Trump is a stooge for Putin.

How fucked up is it that Trump was all about state’s rights when it came to abortion, but his administration shut down the New York transportation policy?

I think this is a moment where the Democratic Party should not move right, but instead move left and be a true populist party. I believe working class voters would buy into progressive policies if Democrats would stand behind them and explain how it helps them more than anyone else.
