🚨Holy shit, brilliant animators just made a devastating ad against Republican corruption: “A massive flood of money… impacts every part of our democracy.” Trump’s corruption is putting our democracy, our rights, and our future up for sale. VOTE. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

📌This naked statue of Trump, The Orange Plague, in the European Parliament in Strasbourg is exactly how you handle this deviant, who uses his office to celebrate himself, and crush others. He needs to know that THIS is how he will be remembered when he finally takes his last gasp.

I prefer Presidents that don't call for American cities to be nuked. No one should vote for anyone in his party that fails to speak out against this un-American statement. Period.

Medicaid isn’t just insurance for younger people. It also helps older Americans get long-term care, including care at home. Independent nonprofit health policy research organization KFF warns that Trump’s Medicaid funding cuts will pressure states to reduce home care.

📌REMINDER: 1. Donald Trump violently attacked the country on Jan. 6, 2021, while trying to overthrow the election. 2. He then retired to his dining room to root on the attack for three hours. 3. When it failed, he went on camera, and told the attackers that he "loved them." He's a damn traitor.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.
