Lots of folks are comparing McConnell’s vote today to Feinstein’s finals days in the senate. The main difference is that Feinstein was co-sponsoring legislation to expand voting rights, while McConnell voted to cut SNAP and end environmental protections.

Trump's attacks on our civil liberties didn't come out of nowhere. The groundwork for his Orwellian surveillance state was laid by the post-9/11 PATRIOT Act. Only one Senator at the time had the foresight to see what it would unleash.

"Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in history that loves us so much he can't even breathe" -- in extremely culty scene, Trump has his supporters pledge to him that they will vote, then tells them they will "go to hell" if they don't Here's the full sequence:

Why should it surprise anyone that Felon Trump snuck out of Turkey and left others in possible danger? We’re talking about someone with a bone spurs excuse written by his daddy’s tenant to avoid Viet Nam.

I’ve come up with a solution for Trump being so upset about the lack of people at his political fair. He should announce that on the 4th, instead of Melania and him, the speakers will be Barack and Michelle Obama.

Looking at the White House grounds and hearing daily about the wonderful fights that occurred there to commemorate Trump’s birthday, all I can think of is “rich White trash”. Going forward, this will be synonymous with the name, Trump. (Among other things)

Trump wanted the Reflecting Pool to be ‘American flag blue.’ Algae are turning it green.
The contractor that handled the lining told NBC News it was first priced at $13.1 million but increased to $14.6 million because “the park service added work to the original scope.”

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.

A real banger from @jamellebouie.net www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...
This is a president who rarely travels beyond the confines of the White House compound or Mar-a-Lago. He rarely meets people where they are. Trump holds the occasional rally, but he does not move through the world the way most presidents have. More so than most who have held the office, he lives inside a bubble.

Some of this is vanity. Some of it is laziness. But some of it, I think, is fear. Trump is afraid of the world. Which in a way might mean he is afraid of the world he has helped build.

This term, Trump biggest fixation is his 2020 election loss. Others have been settled by lawsuits or tributes paid to him. Does he want this bumped up the chain so he can sue the government into bankruptcy? (Just last night’s nightmare.)

The Southern Poverty Law Center, one of the greatest political scams in American History, has been charged with FRAUD. This is another Democrat Hoax, along with Act Blue, and many others. If it is true, the 2020 Presidential Election should be permanently wiped from the books and be of no further force or effect! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.
Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

So, he’s not ripping down the Kennedy Center because he’s reusing the steel? Is there any way to stop this? He’s like a spoiled little kid who is not getting his way. He’s also wiping out anything associated with the Kennedy name.
