Trump falsely stated that Ukraine started the war with Russia. Russia invaded Ukraine. A lot of people say he is a bald faced liar.

Trump falsely stated his approval rating to be 71 and 69. No poll showed those numbers. He is delusional.

Every single vaccine in the childhood schedule has been subjected to the highest level of scrutiny for any medical product. Because vaccines are given to an otherwise healthy population, safety and effectiveness are essential.

The guy who racked up almost $8T in debt during his first term has no interest in paying it down. The federal purge underway is to allow for oligarchs to make trillions in privatization and run roughshod in a deregulated landscape. Remember that in an oligarchy, everything is run by the oligarchs.

An hourly reminder that DOGE is not about Elon Musk cutting government money waste, it is about wasting more government money on Elon Musk. Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding. They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.

Trump says he had a long and productive talk with Putin. Did they discuss the nearly 20,000 Ukrainian children Russia kidnapped?

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

Remember what I said about paying attention to what your state is up to regarding vaccines? Montana is about to ban mRNA vaccines. A local family physician egregiously lied and said, “mRNA vaccines are the most destructive and lethal medical products that have ever been used in medical history”.

I think the reason people are frustrated with Democratic leaders is that they expect these elected representatives to act like a real disaster is happening, which it is. Four-day weekends and bratwurst junkets in Munich kind of undercut that
