President Trump just lost at the Supreme Court on a signature executive order he signed on day one of his presidency. He tried rewriting the Constitution to redefine who is a citizen — and we stopped him.

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

Of course the man occupying the White House is a tyrant. He was in business prior to politics. Do you think he ran his businesses like a democracy? He knows no other way than to dictate and swing his weight of authority. It’s the explicit corruption that so many people didn’t expect. Naive.

"When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, & for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people, and for the people, there's only one solution, & that's impeachment & removal."

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Trump can lie all he wants, but working families know the truth: groceries, gas, & electricity are getting more expensive—and it's because of his tariffs, the war he started, and his billionaire-first policies.

It must be *infuriating* to TSA agents, who are NOT getting paid, to see lazy ICE agents, who ARE getting paid, lounging about the airport and doing nothing to help either them or passengers.

Public service should require swearing off of many things. If you cannot self sacrifice for public service then you cannot be trusted with it to begin with.

Trump & Republicans made the largest cuts to health care in American history so that they could dole out tax breaks to billionaires and blow billions on another war in the Middle East. For Republicans, there's always money for war and the super-rich—but never money for you.

The Strait of Hormuz crisis is not just about oil. 30% of the world’s fertilizer moves through that chokepoint and prices are already up 77%. Tankers are burning, allies want help, and China and India are cutting their own deals.

We are a secular democracy. If you don't like the freedom of religion, you are welcome to move somewhere else. In America, you can be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or anything else. It's written into our Constitution. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Get lost with this garbage.

I find it hard to believe the admin did not see this coming. Given all that has happened (tariffs, BLS firing, monthly job declines, war, etc.), it seems the regime is intentionally damaging the market. How do we know billionaires are not sabotaging the market in order to buy low?

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Here we go again, America. We have to give a President another blank check and give him as much as he wants to shoot unlimited $20 million interceptors at $20,000 drones and if we don’t we are unpatriotic so pay up.

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

TMurphy reposted

Trump’s war will easily cost more than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits. Republicans are telling the American people—there is always money for war, always money for billionaire tax breaks. Just never any money for health care or families here at home.

there is no end to the defence of our politicians as either ignorant or blackmailed when the most likely reason is always that they're behaving in their own venal self interests #auspol
