Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

"Trump Transportation Secretary Assures Public, ‘It Is Not Standard To Have Aircraft Collide – I Wanna Be Clear on That’" This is what a "DEI" hire really looks like- an unqualified person who was only hired because he's a white male who is loyal to Trump. www.mediaite.com/tv/trump-tra...

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.

In this age of increased terrorist threats and actions, we strongly need an FBI run by seasoned and competent leaders, not political hacks like Kash Patel.

Ever notice when you go to check out for tickets to a Vikings game or a Taylor Swift concert, the price you pay is so much higher than advertised? Mysterious fees from online sellers continue to make tickets more expensive.   Starting January 1, we’re banning those junk fees.

Also what’s all this talk I’ve been hearing about “gay apparel” and what are Mike Johnson and Nancy Mace gonna do about it, especially now that we get to say “Merry Christmas” again?

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Trump says he's wants to privatize USPS because it's "unprofitable". Reminder that the Post Office isn't a for-profit enterprise: it's a public service that guarantees everyone in America reliable, affordable, and universal mail service.

BREAKING: Tim Walz's daughter Hope says that her "red flag" for dating a man is if he listens to Joe Rogan because it means he "probably isn’t a great person" and his "values" won't "align" with hers. This rule has "never failed" her and her friends. Like and share if you love this rule!
