Nobody elected Elon Musk to anything. Nationalize his businesses and deport him before he destroys the world's democracies.

JD Vance comparing his administration's economy to the Titanic means Yale definitely owes all of us an apology.

Similarly, crooked Donald Trump redirected $20 million in taxpayer funds from the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection to pay for campaign-style television and streaming advertisements promoting him ahead of the midterm elections.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

It is always about him. Now that experienced counterintelligence agents, who weren’t Trump loyalists, have been fired or left another 9-11 is possible. He will do anything to stay out of prison. Anything.

The Evanston RoundTable in my Chicago suburb interviewed 2 people who saw ICE agents beat up a citizen and leave him lying on the ground last weekend. One witness said the man “was screaming ‘I'm a U.S. citizen. Leave me alone.’” Another witness said the feds told an “absolute lie” about the case.

Lyrics from Irving Berlin’s 1941 song about Hitler: “When that man is dead and gone” “Satan thought up a plan/dressed as a man/walking the earth/And since he began/the world is hell for you and me/but what a heaven it will be/when that man is dead and gone.” www.americaamerica.news/p/this-cant-...

I'm Canadian and its not a lack of trust. Its a feeling of terror that he will take power again. The election was stolen, he didn't earn it. Non-Trump supporting Americans will always have our empathy, we want America to thrive and Trump GONE forever

America has been stolen by selish billionaires who bought off a crooked president, Congress, and the courts. We now live in a pseudo-republic turned oligarchy with a monster and his cronies at its helm. They've succeeded in turning as against one another. However, they're losing their grip.

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

“We are fed up with ICE & DHS telling us lies… NO MORE TRAFFIC STOPS BY ICE.” Wilber’s lawyer says he was sideswiped and shot by ICE without any clue who they even were — and ICE then immediately lied about what happened (again)

ICE agent shot a man in the torso during a traffic stop in North Austin today. He's in serious but stable condition. Austin PD wasn't involved; the mayor wants local police on the investigation for third-party eyes. ICE has been out of control since they started this B.S.

The President of the United States is grossly deplorable, demented, and lacks a moral compass. Upon further reflection, I must conclude that this is an understatement. Mere words can't describe his abysmal character.

Stock Trades by Presidents While in Office: Bill Clinton: ZERO George W. Bush: ZERO Barack Obama: ZERO Donald Trump (first term): 517 Joe Biden: ZERO Donald Trump (second term): 24,000+, averaging >60 trades per trading day. This is why the crook in the Oval Office manipulates the markets.

True. Trump and Fox spew Islamophobia against good honest humanitarians like Mamdani, El Sayed, Ilhan Omar, yet are fine with Trump and Trump Crime Family selling chips and military secrets, and illegally profiting billions from corrupt, murderous Islamics like MBS and Qataris. The hypocrisy is 100%
