Trump has a new scheme to bribe farmers in swing states with welfare checks of taxpayer money because fuel has gone up so much because of his war. But only money for them, not for anyone else in the country. No, we have to keep paying higher prices AND we pay Trump’s voters.

I don’t understand why farmers need an endless series of welfare payments from the rest of us since Trump took office. Aren’t his policies working for you? You need us to pay you so you will keep voting for the guy who is failing you? Don’t you believe in free market capitalism?

With very few exceptions Mike, the mainstream media is now wholly owned by maga money. They silence No Kings on meta They destroy CBS's journalistic credibility They fire comedians and TV hosts They defund public TV They silence decent in the Press They ban press at the WH Etc. But sure Mike.

He’s obsessed with interest rates bc he is “the king of debt” and wants to lower the payment on his loans (if he’s making payments at all). He does not give a single fuck about mortgages or car loans for the suckers and losers of America.

Exactly right. A country that does this is the very antithesis of a free country. And the fact that this has been going on in America for the past 20 months and EVERY American is not fucking up in arms and raising hell about it is a huge shameful stain on this country.👇

The national debt just hit $40 trillion, gas is $4 a gallon, personal bankruptcies are at an all-time high, mortgage rates are up, GDP growth is terrible, we are stuck in another endless Middle East conflict, but the Republican Party is focused on ballrooms and car races.

As a former right-wing culture war practitioner, let me just say that if Republicans this year couldn’t talk about “communists,” “transgenders,” “illegals,” “testosterone levels,” “brown & black immigrants,” and “stolen elections,” they’d have nothing…to talk about.

“Let’s be honest about what this is. Donald Trump hired a company that was not qualified, they did a shoddy job, and because he has such a fragile ego, now Donald Trump has to play make believe that, in fact, this was the work of elusive vandals... this is all just bad community theater."

Is Trump and Co thinking about building in Iran? Think about it. Witkoff and Kuschner (developers)were 2 of the negotiators. Trump talked yesterday about all the infrastructure destruction in Iran. This MOU provides min 3 billion in investment money. Remember him floating his Golden Resort in Gaza.

“Conservative evangelicals” talk all the time about the need to speak out on moral issues. Yet when they had a once in a lifetime chance to show that their values mattered more than their political allegiance, they resoundingly failed the test. Makes it hard to believe anything they say now.

This is from Trump’s emergency brief filed Friday to restart ballroom construction. Has a list of donors or donated amounts ever been revealed? With how much trump lies do we know if this is true and it is logical to assume any funding shortfall will be made up by taxpayers.

Surprise! You can’t start a war without even consulting US allies—and then insult them afterward—and then expect them to bail you out when you predictably get into trouble. Seriously, what country is going to risk their ships in the Strait of Hormuz when the U.S. Navy considers it too dangerous?

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "It looks very untrained. It looks unprofessional. It looks very chaotic…People should be able to have an expectation that the federal government can enforce federal immigration law without these poor tactics & really unconstitutional practices."

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

I'm sorry, but if you can't understand that Russia is *of course* going to encourage Trump's madness, and think this is part of a grand design instead of Moscow can't believing how lucky it is, maybe touch grass for a while

“The notion that [Trump] claims this is somehow making the country safer is absurd. It’s making the country more dangerous. The domestic terrorists are ICE. It’s hard to believe we have a criminal president running a lawless government trying to intimidate the people of this country through force.”

This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't. It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or state. ...

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?

The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us. But I won't back down — and neither should you.

It is particularly galling that Trump is calling for the execution of people who actually served honorably in the military, while he took a bone spur exemption and famously boasted that his Vietnam was dodging syphilis in 70s New York. Just a historically loathsome figure by any measure.

As always, the simplest answer is usually the correct answer. And if Trump commutes her sentence, it’s because it’s most likely that Trump is a pedophile.

Giving kudos to the White House BlueSky account. Putting retweets to each of the cabinet links made it super easy to block each one. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The Trump administration’s deployment of ICE and others in the mass deportation effort has led to more violence and turmoil, and less safety and security for all, including US citizens. But that’s a feature not a bug. The chaos justifies further authoritarian crackdowns. The chaos is the point.

I see a lot of Democrats laughing off the Antifa 'domestic terrorists' designation. You're forgetting MAGA blames "Antifa" for everything including January 6th. Perhaps next 'No Kings Day' they decide it was organized by 'Antifa.' They don't need proof to ruin your life.

Nothing will nail down a Nobel like rebranding to the “Department of War.” Also sorta overrides the key military mission of deterrence, which is a piece of our national & defense security strategy.
