Remember this is why we need Democrats to take back power in DC so that they can stop some of these cuts that take effect after the election. #LetsGetVoteReady by checking your voter registration status, vote early and vote all the way down the ballot. Your vote is your voice so use it.

DOGE literally was a coup because one of the first thing it did was invade the Bureau of Fiscal Services at Treasury, oust the non-political staff, and take over the bank accounts. Russell Vought keeps using pocket recissions to defund appropriators. We have switching from fund to funds.

Russia has bombed a school basically every single day this week, so for those people who say "if this was happening in Ukraine, it would be on the front pages every day", how many times have you seen that on the front page of even one of your national newspapers this week? Zero.

I've been thinking about this photo all day. Considering how the Trump administration is constantly ranting about Communists, and how Pete Hegseth is always nattering on about our WARFIGHTERS, it's genuinely crazy to me that this image exists. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-kowt...
Screenshot of a Getty photograph captioned: "U.S. military personnel unroll the red carpet at the bottom of the stairs of an Air China plane carrying Chinese President Xi Jinping at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on September 23, 2026. (Kent Nishimura / AFP via Getty Images)" Above it, also in the screenshot, is a paragraph of text from a Bulwark article that included that picture. The text reads: "That was certainly the sense conveyed by the ceremony as a whole. There was the televised spectacle of American service members on their hands and knees, smoothing wrinkles and picking specks of dirt off the 100-foot long red carpet that had been unrolled for Xi, as Chinese officials looked on approvingly from the door of their airplane before their leader descended the stairs."

The optics are the policy. Trump personally greeted Xi at Joint Base Andrews, the first time a US president has done that for a world leader since 1962. Uniformed American military personnel were on their hands and knees smoothing a red carpet beside Xi’s Air China 747.

As a side note, it is a shocker to me how many people simply do not understand that civil rights protests broke the law. Do they think Jim Crow was a polite suggestion and everyone was just following it until the civil rights era out of civility?

One year ago today, Donald Trump began using your tax dollars for the cold-blooded murder of a total of 227 people so far. It was and is clearly illegal under U.S. and international law. And the American officials responsible for these extrajudicial killings must be held accountable.

Absolutely despicable. Trump's ICE arrested the wife of Army Sgt. Hedcar Leonel Turcios Juarez in front of their 6-year-old. How can we expect our troops to be at their best when their Commander in Chief is deporting their loved ones at home? This is no way to honor our heroes.

The White House said the president was aboard Air Force One as he left a NATO summit. Instead, his departure included an elaborate ruse that concealed his travel.
