Every morning I wake up, read the news, and cannot fathom the inexplicable stupidity of the people who put Trump back in power.

Fact-check: True

No country in its right mind should want to use Starlink which can be shut off on a whim like it was in Ukraine.

The racism of this administration is intolerable. It is anti-American. It is loathsome.

We do not want our government dismantled. We want and need strong health, safety, infrastructure, and fiscal systems designed for the common good. Our military needs to be strong for our own defense and to protect those who share our values from those who would destroy them. Trump is weakening us.

Among the Declaration of Independence’s grievances against the Crown was “transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences.” newrepublic.com/article/1939...

So the letter was a mistake? What about the subsequent threats to reduce funding and strip the university of its tax-exempt status? I think the assertion the letter was a “mistake” is a L-I-E. So apologize and withdraw the letter and all the double down threats.

The President of the United States fears only those who do not fear him.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

Bear in mind, Judge Wilkinson is a Reagan appointee who was repeatedly on SCOTUS shortlists. This is both an admonition and a dire warning.

Once you’ve agreed to crawl, he will make you keep crawling. Maybe stand up, brush off the dirt on you, and say enough is enough? Just a thought, for you supposed officers of the court.

Gosh, very difficult legal question, is it "facilitating" someone's return when you're paying another country to detain them?

Joe Biden defended Social Security in a speech to disability advocates in Chicago on Tuesday, condemning the Trump administration for “taking a hatchet” to the Social Security Administration. nyti.ms/42v8AvV

Are we done fussing about the Gulf of Mexico?

Judge Gives Trump Administration 3 Days To Return Her From El Salvador Prison theonion.com/judge-g...

Head Start has helped millions of families. It is a well-run, pro-family, pro-child service. The depravity and greed of the Trump crowd knows no bounds.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

-Trump bans the AP from the White House press pool -Judge orders AP be allowed back into the pool -Trump admin continues to block AP from the pool, and then censors the pool report noting the AP was turned away. Great reporting from @oliverdarcy.bsky.social www.status.news/p/white-hous...

He blinked. Creep.

We deserve better. Even the majority of the people who voted for Trump deserve better. Congress, stand up for the People. Stand up against the crazy.
