He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

You thought it was bad that Republicans were attacking school lunches to give tax breaks to billionaires? They've also hidden private school vouchers in the bill. So not only will public school kids go hungry, their schools will see resources siphoned off for private schools.

Immigrants are not invading America. The "invasion" has been implanted in MAGA brains (by Fox, Heritage, Tucker) like a psyop. They are told this over and over again. So, of course, MAGAs think Trump is liberating American cities. It's the most logical conclusion from their perspective.

seems like trump mainly uses “low IQ” to describe black people. of a piece with his birtherism and his insistence that there are specific, low-wage “black jobs” that must be protected from immigrants

In the first 100 days, Musk &’Trump have knocked down the barriers intended to prevent creation of dossiers on every U.S. resident. They’re building a database of ruin: comprehensive files on everyone so they can punish those who protest. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/o...

Trump is openly refusing to comply with the Supreme Court. It is a constitutional crisis when a sitting president refuses to acknowledge the autonomy of Judicial Branch. This is THE line, Chuck Schumer-where are you?? Fellow Democrats, please ask Schumer to step aside, we need new leadership.

Trump was asked whether Hegseth is incompetent and should be replaced and he replied—confirming he has no idea who he's bombing in Yemen because he doesn't read briefing books and also doesn't care—"Ask the Hooties" Keep in mind this moron hears the correct pronunciation of "Houthis" 20 times daily

do I have this right? Donald Trump is just going to crash the world economy every three months — and then pretend to save it, over and over, while his cronies rake in untold billions on his shameless market manipulation, is that it? fucking hell

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.
