We can no longer deny what is going on right before our eyes. Trump is pursing a foreign policy that is in line with the goals of the Putin and the Kremlin not what is in the best interests of the US!

Congress passed a law forcing new sanctions and tariffs on Russia. Two days before it kicked in, Trump signed an order waiving it. Read that twice. Then ask who the law was for. Trump is a Russian asset.

Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?

Can we repeat so everyone can hear even the everything bad is Communism US idiots at the back of the room. When all companies are taken over by the State to provide for everyone, that IS Communism. When Donald Trump takes them over to make money for him, that IS Fascism.

Of course, no educated individual would ever suggest that the U.S. is a functioning democracy any longer. You’d have to look at North Korea to see a nation as indescribably corrupt as America.

When a governor has to stand up & say “there’s no money to feed hungry kids” —while the same administration funds a UFC arena & $600M ballroom — something has gone deeply wrong. These aren’t budget abstractions. These are kids going hungry. #RepublicansStarveChildren #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Social Security is earned, not given. We paid into it our entire working lives. Speaker Johnson knows how unpopular cuts would be. That’s why these conversations happen behind closed doors instead of out in the open. We earned these benefits. We’ll fight to keep them. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business. WE Pay for

If you didn’t see it coming, you weren’t paying attention. And he doesn’t have to do it formally to defy Congress, he can do it with actions that they can’t stop.

Think about it. Trump spends the first year of his second term alienating Europe. Then he starts a war that Europe wisely refuses to participate in. Now he and Putin have their “excuse” to withdraw the United States from NATO. Everything he does, Trump does for Vladimir.
