Of course they can't find any proof. He lies continuously. He just makes up whatever fits his agenda. We all know this.

ICE OUT NOW Rapid hiring & deployment of 7,500 ICE recruits last year with little or NO vetting/background checks continues this fall with the addition of 5,000 more = 34,000 total. That's an expansion of 58% funded by our Republican majority Congress. Thanks for creating the GOP police state.

ICE Plans 5,000 New Hires to Help With Deportation Drive
A similar surge last year resulted in undervetted officers initially being let in and then removed as the agency skipped basic checks for new recruits.

SCOTUS "conservatives" (read racists) overturned a lower court ruling allowing the Regime to continue deporting people swept up by ICE to 3rd countries without due (or any) legal process. THIS is now the American way. Aren't you proud?

Supreme Court Allows Trump Administration’s Third-Country Deportations, for Now
The court also announced it would hear arguments in December on the legality of the Trump administration policy to swiftly deport immigrants to countries not their own.

Why is this not surprising for the Environmental Protection Agency? You know why. Regulations decrease profits & kickbacks.

This is a sad state of affairs. Our (once) closest allies have little trust in Trump, understandably, And much more trust in President Xi, again understandably.

We, the USA, must stand with Ukraine and against Russia. This is not a difficult choice. Russia is an aggressor nation, and our historic enemy. Ukraine is a young democracy bravely standing between the EU and Russia. Tell your Senators and Representative.

Claims of "Not my President" or "I didn't vote for him" by Americans traveling abroad don't provide cover as the world suffers under Trump's policies. Remember, half of the voters in 2024 voted for that idiot.

This has been the case since the 2008 Great Recession. Nothing new. Simply a consequence of political choices favoring rich donors over the American people. Blame SCOTUS & Citizens United.

We did it! We tied two records in August: hottest month in terms of global air temperature and ocean temperature. Better yet, we are likely to break these records in the coming months as this year's Super El Niño wreaks havoc in global weather patterns. Our fossil fuel addiction is killing us!

Thank Trump's unending war with Iran for a global spike in the burning of coal for energy production. Coal is the worst energy source in terms of emissions of greenhouse gases, sulfuric oxides (acid rain), and heavy metals. So instead of retiring coal powered generators, their usage is extended. Ugh

The Supreme Court surrendered our democracy to the highest bidders with Citizens United. Money bought access and access gave Billionaires tax breaks while forcing ordinary people to increase productivity without increased compensation. Eventually we end up with Trump 2.0 executing Project 2025.

Trump administration looks to strike another blow to EPA by changing the definition of wetlands (making it much narrower) subject to the Clean Water Act. Polluters would gain access to discharge waste in so many new places without having to get a Federal permit. Massive cost savings for corporations

Correlation may not imply causation, but it could! Look at the size of the disparity in earnings prior to WWII and today: they are equiivalent! Today's economy is destroying the middle class just as it did during the great depression. Disillusionment with the American dream seems justified.

Media consolidation facilitates media control & narrative control. Impinges on freedom of speech & our ability to question authority. Without a free press government corruption is normalized. It’s insidious. It’s happening. It’s all part of the plan (Project 2025).

Democracy ended with the Citizens United decision. Politics went from local to national as re-election funding went dark. A return to democracy, or better yet a movement to implement social democracy, is not possible without radical reform. Evolution won’t do it. Revolution might.
