I keep hearing that MAGA “likes the way Trump runs things.” REALLY? I am old enough to remember the white male management style of yelling at and belittling subordinates to achieve their goals. Those were not happy times. Who still thinks that style is effective?

Karoline Leavitt told us the US State Department was helping Americans stranded in the Middle East. She lied. One Texas woman in Dubai called the State Department hotline, was scolded for being scared and then hung up on. This administration is *full* of incompetent, rude people.

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public. It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests. What else is the regime hiding from us?

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else. If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

Standing up to racism shouldn’t be a partisan issue. Trump posts an objectively racist video, and MAGA is silent. All while he continues to nominate bigots and dine with Holocaust deniers. It’s clear who this President is. And it should disgust all of us.

Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

Completely wrong headline from CNN. The report from a 2006 police interview with Trump ANSWERS questions. Specifically, it proves that (no surprise) Trump is lying when he says he had no idea what Epstein was up to. CNN should not perpetuate the lies.
