5 things Trump did this week: 1. Caved to China on tariffs 2. Received a gold necklace from a foreign leader 3. Said he made Taylor Swift not hot anymore 4. Got the United States’ credit rating downgraded 5. Kept the Epstein files safe in the vault for the 17th week

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador. She's committed a slew of other crimes against the Constitution as well. I did mine... who's next?

Hey NY Times-- It is still a "fringe theory" -- every court has rejected it. There is still a "broad consensus" -- John Eastman is a disgraced lawyer under indictment. The only thing that has changed is the Times.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Accepting a private jumbo-jet from a foreign nation is a clear violation of our Constitution, which plainly prohibits U.S. officials from accepting gifts from foreign governments.

Avelo Airlines has accepted a $150 million contract to operate deportation flights out of Arizona, aiding in the illegal removal of individuals without their right to a fair hearing or due process. Boycott Avelo! Spread the word. Mark your calendar for a nationwide action on May 31. stopavelo.org

This video is making the rounds again for a reason. A great example of how you make your voices heard—without saying a word. Power in numbers and it sends a clear message. This is what democracy looks like: standing up to fascism, tyranny, and racism. This is the way!

could someone check with John Roberts whether accepting a $400 million plane for your personal use is a core executive power that congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the president is presumptively immune from any accountability?

AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.
