Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

The founders demanded “No taxation without representation.” 250 years later, we need to say “No representation without taxation.” Billionaires can buy politicians to do their bidding but don’t pay their fair share in taxes. #taxtherich #billionairesshouldbeillegal #semiquincentennial #citizensunited

this was a bad idea from people that are unbelievably high off their own supply
In January, behind closed doors at the Pentagon, Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre — Pope Leo XIV's then-ambassador to the United States - and
delivered a lecture.
"America," Colby and his colleagues told the cardinal, "has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side."
As tempers rose, one U.S. official reached for a fourteenth-century weapon and invoked the Avignon Papacy, the period when the French Crown used military force to bend the bishop of Rome to its will.

This is a positive step forward after courts found the Trump Admin’s actions here were blatantly unlawful. We must continue fighting to end this president's lawless acts, like the illegal detentions of students like Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk & others.

No capitulation will ever be enough. Total surrender would not be enough. The only thing they want is to wear the “boot stamping on a human face—forever.” Only complete unwilling subjugation will ever scratch that itch. It’s mental illness that metastasizes over generations.

His actions (whimsical tariff whiplash, explicit disregard for conflicts of interest and the rule of law, violating his oath to uphold the constitution, etc.) are more than sufficient to impeach him. Whether it's malicious self-service, sociopathy, stupidity, senility--the reason doesn't matter.
