Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.

Call me crazy, but perhaps being related to a Senator who died doesn’t qualify you to be a Senator.

That child holding an empty bowl — that’s not a stock photo. That’s America right now. 770,000 kids stripped of SNAP benefits so the wealthiest among us could get another tax cut. If this doesn’t move you, I don’t know what will. #RepublicansStarveChildren

Teddy Roosevelt got shot in the chest and finished a 90-minute speech. Reagan got shot and joked, "Honey, I forgot to duck." Truman survived an attack and kept his Arlington schedule. None of them blamed their critics. None of them built a ballroom. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

open.substack.comDon't Be IntimidatedI lived inside the threats. Criticizing the President is not violence. It's the job description of a citizen.

With the money Trump wants for his war of choice in Iran, we could fund the ACA tax credits FOR TEN YEARS. Vermonters and folks across the nation are suffering from this admin’s backwards priorities.

Not feeling good about giving my hard earned money to the oligarchs, to fund illegal & unnecessary "wars,"or fund any of this admin's crooked schemes. Not at all 'good.'

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

The two days that JD Vance spent in Hungary desperately trying to shore up support for Putin’s lapdog Viktor Orbán reminded me of what a pathetic, loathsome, lying, traitorous scumbag he is.

MAGA holds a protest with a few thousand people in DC and they attack the capital and brutally assault police officers. Millions upon millions of Democrats hold 3100+ protests nationwide without incident. That tells you all you need to know.

McGovern: He’s doing nothing to make healthcare more accessible. They say we don’t have the money—but we have a billion dollars a day to blow on this crazy war. I don’t think he gives a shit about the American people. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and he’s golfing.

the same number of troops have died in this war that died in the evacuation of afghanistan fyi, weird how the media has decided that isn’t a point to drive home this time

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities: Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

I trust Congressional Republicans are aware of what they have enabled. There is Ukrainian blood all over their hands.

Greetings from Kyiv. Saturday morning. No power. No water. No heating. I’m reading that similar problems are reported across the city. Total blackout in Kyiv.

🧵1/2 Trump’s regime just cut over $1 billion from addiction and mental health care. That money supports treatment programs, counselors, and crisis services. Slashing it during a worsening mental health emergency, especially for teens and young adults, literally puts lives at risk. I’m beyond fury.

Nothing about this is okay. The President of the United States is on Fox News right now gabbing about the U.S. attack on Venezuela before addressing the American people. So the new order of information is: Truth Social → Fox News → the public → Congress, maybe?

Trump posts footage of the Maduro raid set to "Fortunate Son" -- a protest song about the Vietnam War draft

The Trump regime is accusing Maduro of doing the same drug trafficking crimes that former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández did before Trump pardoned him.
