They’re not rejecting Trumpism. They’re fleeing the consequences.

Corporations are not people. Their money is not speech. They should not be able to buy politicians. End Citizens United.

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

The ONLY reason why he did it is because someone told him he would lose the support of Tennessee and other red states if he didn’t lower the flags. He did it out of self preservation. He didn’t do it after Rep. Melissa Hortman was murdered, he wanted to piss off Minnesota.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Energy Secretary Wright says that the US will control the Venezuelan economy by having oil distributed through US means, and all oil revenue controlled by US government. Can we stop talking about this like it is JUST the removal of a tyrant or stopping drugs? www.cnn.com/world/live-n....

This message hits hard.
Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”

We knew this was likely. He bankrupted farmers with his China tariffs, and will bankrupt Kentucky when the bourbon industry shrinks away. It is so unnecessary, but its hard to blame Canada for looking elsewhere. A snarkier response would be to hope Canada and Mexico create their own trade block.

I grew up in the 1970's and remember when we were all told of the hellscape of pollution if we didn't get our act together. There was "Love Canal" and the other Superfund sites opening up. This administration wants to bring that era back when the earth was something to be used up.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I"m having a disturbing feel. One of you smart people show me why I"m wrong. It seems like Putin's buzzing of Nato Airspace and uptick in its bombings in Ukraine are related to Trump's pulling back in Eastern Europe defense and readying for war with Venezuela. Did they make a deal in Alaska?

Its always been about choices. A trillion for DOD and a $250B increase for Homan's Heroes. But to afford it we need to cut medicaid and foreign aid and support for the arts.

No kidding. El Salvador has a minimal GDP and this prison is a way for him to get into the good graces of Trump and MAGA. The DOJ has already said that they are "under contract" to house prisoners. The argument that they can't snap their fingers and get him back is laughable.

If fraud and abuse are so out of control, where are the lawsuits? Where are the arrests? If it were real, they’d be parading the perpetrators—not just pushing headlines. Treat the so-called fraudsters like they do suspected gang members with soccer ball tattoos.

A "like" just feels wrong to post, but facts are facts. We will lose our edge in science, the arts. Our foreign influence will shrink as we pull out of Africa, Latin America and Asia. Who will our trading partners be, and are we turning into a giant Walmart in the shopping center that is the world?
