when you see Trump on camera angrily attacking female reporters for asking straightforward questions, it doesn’t take much to imagine what he does behind closed doors when a woman says ‘No’

It's the first Friday of the month, which means we've gone 2 months now without a jobs report. For Trump, this is a feature of the shutdown, not a bug, since private surveys show the job market slowing dramatically. But without official data he's able to keep lying about it.

We all need to understand a key facet of fascism. There is no end, but also there is no plan. Just an endless string of opportunities to exploit and suppress people when they do not stand up for themselves. Fascists are big dogs that look scary, but run scared when faced with a real fight.

What is the end game for these madmen?? World dominance? Hatred and poverty rife everywhere? That doesn't sound like a good world

Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border. This is how the police dealt with them. Literally beat the hell out of them. This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

Nice to know that when you try and call your congressman as a constituent to oppose a piece of legislation, that they choose to turn off the message machine. Needs to be a law against this! Stutzman (R) Indiana 3rd (202) 225-4436

Who else remembers the PPP covid loan scheme in which millions of dollars were given out to many crooks like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jared Kushner, Devin Nunes, Betsy DeVos and then it was all suddenly forgiven, over $750B worth? I do. ✋

Hoosiers look out SB2 passed which will absolutely GUT Medicaid for the state by probably 2-300,000 people for an actual savings to the state on $0 dollars, they only target the poor, disabled and children. Are we winning yet

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

Buttigieg: What if this had, in fact, gone to somebody else? I mean, somebody who could plausibly be in some of these people's cell phones. I don't know, the Chinese ambassador or Russian negotiator. And the other question on my mind is how many other times has something like this happened?

Buttigieg: Nobody in Elon Musk's family is at risk from the kinds of economic or security harms that are going on here. They think all of this is a joke or a game because these are incredibly rich, powerful men who, frankly, don't have to worry about the kinds of things most Americans do.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about? VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

"[Musk is] already very clearly operating here as an independent actor whose actions the President blesses after he’s found out what’s happened. This is a parallel overlaying of authority over the entire structure of the US government. We’re in dystopian quasi-science fiction territory here."

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.
