Yes, I also remember, before this, when Republicans refused to help scientists and doctors address the AIDS crisis because Ronald Reagan was afraid that if he was compassionate to gay men bigots like Jerry Falwell wouldn't help him get re-elected.

Trump said he wants to rename a US state today, and has “claimed” the moon. We’re not forgetting about the economy and we’re not forgetting about the Epstein files, btw.

Listened to an interview with Josh Owens, a former contributor to Alex Jones’ Infowars. His assignment was to film someone dressed as a member of ISIS easily crossing the Mexico border. Problem? Border Patrol stopped them. So they filmed at a river not on the border. And got over a million views.

When Donald Trump ran, his two biggest campaign promises were not to start new wars and to bring down prices. So what does he do? He starts a new war that drives up prices. Such breathtaking deceit and incompetence.

The call is coming from inside the house.

LEFT: 1960s Robert Mueller, a wounded and highly decorated soldier in Vietnam. RIGHT: 1960s Donald Trump, a draft dodger at reform school, not athletic enough to make the team so picking up jock straps as “staff.”

The Pentagon is currently run by Pete Hegseth, who was escorted out of his National Guard unit in 2021 after being deemed an "insider threat." He reports to Donald Trump, who dodged the draft five times, once by lying about his medical condition. Only the best people run our military!

And they keep talking about meritocracy.

Can't argue with that.

I think staffing airport screening stations with incompetent, anti-social vigilantes who murder strangers isn’t ideal.

"He has no known criminal record. "But for an entire year, he has remained imprisoned with no access to a lawyer, no contact with his family and no prospect of a trial before a judge... www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Trump pardons allies who boost his crypto coin. Trump invests in corporations that he's supposed to be regulating. Trump cuts deals with autocrats to advance his family's real estate business. The list goes on. We must not become numb to this blatant corruption.

Even the conservative Wall Street Journal understands the havoc wealth inequality is wreaking on our economy and society. It’s far past time to unrig the system. https://www.wsj.com/finance/billionaires-low-taxes-are-becoming-a-problem-for-the-economy-27a560ca

Last fall I went with my brother in law to Salzburg and Munich. While we didn’t visit a concentration camp on this trip, we did learn and experience a lot of the Nazi legacy. It was profound. The more I learn, the more obvious the parallels are.

Trump's attacks on the USPS aren't new. For decades, the GOP has been trying to privatize the Post Office and other crucial public services — all to pad the profits of their wealthy corporate donors.

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

Instead of focusing on America’s national security, this man is treating America like a reality show. Firing QUALIFIED military leaders! Playing with our national security! This isn’t a game. crockett.house.gov/media/press-...
