🚨STAT(S) of the Week (Plz RT) Trump Sees Sharp Decline In Approval by Republican Voters Read more & share with your networks open.substack.com/pub/thecycle...

Man whose tax exempt charity was shut down for embezzlement says what now?

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

They're not even trying to hide it anymore. Republican House Rep. Keith Self quotes Joseph Goebbels, the chief propagandist for the Nazi party, in a hearing. Vile.

I derive joy from it.

Moment of clarity today in the Senate where Republicans sided with big banks & against customers. Higher fees, lower transparency. Now it goes to the House - so call your Member of Congress to ask how they’ll vote!

A US president not knowing four US servicemen are dead 24 hours after it was reported is appalling.

This is painful, and saddening, and embarrassing. I feel like we're losing a member of the family - and for no good reason other than that some Americans wanted another season of the worst reality TV show in history.

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

Actually, quite flattering.

From Fox’s Chief National Security reporter. Who can’t seem to get any airtime lately. For some reason.

Word at the Pentagon is that if you need something from Pete Hegseth it’s best to catch him before lunch 👊🔥🇺🇸

Kristi Noem says they’re going to eliminate FEMA. There’s not a state in this country that isn’t screwed if they do that. People are going to suffer and die.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

I was ripped to shreds on #CNN for standing up for the safety of the American military before Hegseth was hired. Told I was a “disgrace” who should be “ashamed of myself”, berated through the commercial break and threatened with defamation. Look where we are now.

Was at the dentist this morning. Dentist: How's it going? Me: Eh, haven't been added to any confidential Signal chats! Dentist: ...what? Neither dentist nor her assistants had any idea about the top headline on every single news site yesterday. Talk about it. GET PEOPLE to follow the news.

Democratic House Rep. Jason Crow: "This isn't just a singular mistake that the administration still hasn't admitted that it needs to fix. This is part of a larger pattern of disregard, of impunity, of not taking its job seriously in our most sensitive national security life and death decisions."

When you have to get news about Constitutional breaches via foreign news outlets, that’s how you know you’re no longer living in a democracy.

I genuinely couldn’t give two shits if MAGA starts screeching “dEmS ARe iN diSaRrAy.” We’re bringing dry toast to a knife fight, folks. We need to remedy the leadership problem, and fast.

Oh. Trump's tariffs will impact people who voted for him more than people who didn't? Way to "own the libs," MAGA. 🍿

WhY ArEn’T We GeTtiNG tHuH ePSteiN fiLeS, PaM BonDI? 🤣

Do untold millions of people have to suffer just because some rich guy doesn’t have a working penis? Seems extreme.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Many hours have passed and I’ve thought about what happened in the Senate some more. And you know what? I’m still mad as hell. I may just repost their names every day until everyone knows them by heart.

This. Shout this from the rooftops. Add in the propaganda that tricks voters into thinking this is the American way and you’ve got the MAGA playbook.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit, Donald Trump is a prophet.

@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co: "Any Senator who votes for the GOP partisan 'funding' bill is voting to give Elon Musk the power to gut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. This is not about funding the government: Sen. Patty Murray and Rep. Rosa DeLauro have a one-month clean CR to keep the gov open."

Then there's this..

Please remember this is our country. Don’t let Trump or Musk persuade you otherwise. If you don’t like what they’re doing to our country, say so.

TV show proposal: Dexter, but instead of other killers he gets rid of people who are destroying our society and the planet.

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

We should compare Social Security, which has never missed a payment since its inception, to Tesla's stock price.

Crypto is a currency Ponzi scheme.

Twitter keeps going down like Lauren Boebert behind a bowling alley.

If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldn’t need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.

Share if you agree. 🇨🇦 🇲🇽

New Rule: Elon Musk must personally be on the next SpaceX rocket flight in order to show his confidence in this "investment" by we, the American taxpayers.

If NASA had the failure rate SpaceX does, Elon would be firing everyone and Congress would be demanding to know where the money is going.

- Unemployment 📈 - GDP 📉 - Inflation 📈 - Markets 📉 We’ve gone from a Goldilocks economy to being on the bear’s menu in less than 90 days. No one but Trump could do that.
