Just when the paid MAGA shills got done cranking out 36 hours of posts to their divided cult that this was only about nukes and not regime change, Trump does it again …

At least the Brown Shirts had the balls to identify themselves as such by uniformly wearing brown shirts. Not these cosplaying cowards.

Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

damn -- Duckworth to Hegseth: "If you want to be the DHS secretary, maybe you can apply for that job when you're fired from this one due to your incompetence."

SLOTKIN: Does the uniformed military have the ability to arrest and detain protesters? HEGSETH: Um. I -- S: It's a yes or no H: Troops are given very clear orders S: What are they? H: They're public S: So say it -- yes or no H: They are there to protect law enforcement, ICE officers

I am not freaking making this up. Trump’s family just launched a mobile phone company, using the presidency to sell phones. The grifting never stops.

Canadian Prime Minister Carney just shut down Donald Trump. Broke his brain. 🍁

Singer Nezza was told to sing the national anthem in English at the Dodgers game - she sang it in Spanish anyway. The crowd cheered as she finished “The Star-Spangled Banner” en español 🇺🇸🇨🇴🇩🇴 The Spanish version was commissioned by the US govt in 1945 to foster better relations with Latin America.

Wow

Trump backing out of the Iran Deal in 2018.

The world is learning a very important truth about working with Americans: we have no honor.

Anybody want to trace this?

A video explaining the terms about federalization of the Guard, the difference between the Guard, Reserves, and Active Duty, and when the guard or active duty can engage in law enforcement. Hint: the guard as activated in Calif cannot. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/video-expl...

Scenes like this were DIRECTLY caused by Stephen Miller's wailing that ICE can't arrest the number of people he promised they would arrest (bc he lied abt how many criminal aliens there are).

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

If you’re still treating Jonathan Greenblatt like anything other than an enabler of fascism I don’t know what to tell you

ICE agents or bounty hunters? A raid at Home Depot on Wilshire in Los Angeles earlier today. What’s disturbing is that they’re wearing masks and vests you could buy on Amazon. They’re in unmarked cars, and I don’t see any IDs on the officers — regular SUVs with standard plates.

MAGA influencer Bo Louden brags about getting TikTok star Khaby Lame arrested by ICE

It appears the peace treaty hasn’t been negotiated yet.

Supreme Court lets incompetent, teenage racists who submit to a ketamine-addicted billionaire white supremacist gobble up all our data to be shared with companies like Palantir and others. Awesome.

SHAME ON YOU AMERICA ‼️ A CHILD HANDCUFFED & SEARCHED Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes - Anne Frank, 01/13/1943

In just 130 days, Elon... -Secured even more contracts -Derailed at least 40 fed investigations of his corporations -Gutted agencies that regulate his business -Installed loyalists throughout the government Elon has fallen out with Trump, but he got exactly what he wanted.

I hope the popcorn supply chain is robust, because I foresee a serious shortage over the coming weeks.

There's a stunning provision tucked into the budget bill that would limit courts' ability to enforce contempt orders, and therefore to uphold the rule of law. This deserves real alarm. If the Senate values the separation of powers, it must remove the provision.

Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary is afraid of public transportation... 🤦🏼🤦🏽‍♀️ Silly me. I thought his job was to make public transportation more effective, accessible, and safe for all!

Thousands of people's lives are being disrupted around the world because of this cruelly capricious decision. Trump ("Caligula's horse") does not know that it has occurred. Side note: Can't wait for more reporting on Joe Biden being old and not-in-control.

Better to ask shadow president Stephen Miller

Trump’s latest batch of pardons includes: ✅ A sheriff who took $70,000 in bribes to appoint donors as deputies ✅ Reality TV stars convicted of serious financial fraud ✅ A millionaire who stole from nursing home staff whose mom is a major Trump donor Drain the swamp!

Turkish National Student detained by DHS 3/25/25 😡 This person has since been released We DEMAND hearings🔥 We DEMAND transparency NOW 🔥 This is thug mentality This is UnAmerican This is frightening This is traumatic When does it stop Call your Senators, demand action!! #SheShed #Reformers

Because free speech.

We can keep discussing these societal issues year after year, but nothing is likely to change. Instead, it’s up to you to take proactive steps to protect yourself and your family and live with the reassurance that you can protect your life if the threat arises—plain and simple.

If the Justice Department official in charge of issuing pardons says MAGA can do whatever they want, they’re functionally operating outside any legal restrictions. The constitution is merely a suggestion.

Democrats in Congress: Investigate and expose why ICE is allowed to operate in masks and conceal their identities. There is no acceptable scenario where this should be permitted. @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems

BREAKING: Trump gave a gold watch to Chinese foreign national Justin Sun, who up until he invested $75M into Trump's crypto company, the SEC was investigating him for FRAUD. After then pouring $23M into Trump's meme coin, Sun got VIP ACCESS to Trump’s dinner last night. Imagine if Biden did this.

Oh, we will.

Make no mistake-- they're coming for your free speech. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtMy...

First, the company that owns TurboTax donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. Now, he’s going after Direct File, the IRS program that lets you file your taxes for free. Looks like Trump is choosing his corporate buddies over working families—again.

Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Stephen Miller finally found some immigrants they like—and they're coming to the United States on Monday www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Why are ICE agents wearing masks and dark sunglasses?

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight. Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like. We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

Trump’s lying to us—this is not a violent criminal and it’s what fascism looks like. And it’s exactly what we’re becoming. Do. Not. Look. Away.

“Tariffs are making us rich, so let’s cut them in half.”

Since cis het men who are natural born US citizens commit the most crimes, I think they should have markers on their IDs, restricted state to state travel, higher insurance and tax rates, separate restrooms, and state sanctioned vasectomies at 14 because they cause 100% of unwanted pregnancies.
