Don’t attribute actions to reason. He’s irrational and ill-mannered. He’s the most hated person in the world today. Big mouth with bird’s brain.
Trump hates MN because he hates its governor, who had the audacity to say negative things about Trump in the 2024 campaign. He'll always blame MN because he's filled with grievances for which the bitterness never ends.

Trump offered medical advice, suggesting Americans use UV light and drink disinfectant during the pandemic. Here 👇🏾 youtu.be/p28GPHObOF8?...
While Americans were dying at 1,000 a day, what was Trump focused on in pandemic meetings? According to Anthony Fauci's private diaries released by Rand Paul, Trump focused on TV ratings. Hydroxychloroquine. "Virtually everything else."

Who does a slow dance with a disgruntled neighbor? To help the universe, he could go jump over the bridge. It’s a small favor to clear out his political pollution that’s soaking up the atmosphere.
Maybe the collective "FUCK YOU" to the convicted sex felon in the White House wasn't loud enough. Come on fellow Canadians shout it out and shout it proud.

I wish many more Americans will listen to this weekday talk radio show hosted by James O’Brien. This phone-in program is one of the gift the Internet has brought us. It’s completely distinguished from the standard shows by its cerebral bent. www.lbc.co.uk/article/are-...

The rumblings about Jon Ossoff are getting louder. Here’s why. open.substack.com/pub/america/...
They voted to end the war, but approve more funding for its escalation at the same time. Every time you hear thst ‘Republicans are strong in defense’, believe me, it’s because of the billions Of $ they make from it. They don’t care who die or suffer.
BREAKING: The House voted to end Trump’s war in Iran, dealing him another loss. It is the second time lawmakers voted to halt the nearly five-month conflict.
Consider This: The U.S. Supreme Court in a 6-3 majority decision in February ruled that President Trump's sweeping tariffs were illegal because he exceeded his authority under federal law. Here we are again with him out stepping his bounds.👇🏾

Consider This: Keir Starmer peacefully resigned as British prime minister today, as democratic transitions are meant to occur—without inciting insurrection, undermining the electoral process, or disparaging his successor. www.c-span.org/clip/interna...
The Real Threat to U.S. Elections Is Donald J.Trump! Not China, Iran, or any foreign government. Aided by SCOTUS immunity decision, Trump is trying to change Condition and remain as president for life. Read 👇🏾 www.thebulwark.com/p/the-real-t...

Trump said Iran’s military and manufacturing capabilities are completely decimated. What now, Donny?
🚨 Two more Americans are dead. An Iranian missile attack on a US base in Jordan killed 2 American service members, left 1 missing, and wounded 4 more, according to CENTCOM. That brings the toll in this war to 16 Americans dead and more than 430 wounded.
The way to stop this unnecessary deaths is rave about it as was done during Vietnam war. Trump government is in denial. The news media is helping him keep the secret, and Democrats led by Chuck Schumer are weak. It’s political malpractice.
I am heartbroken by the news that two servicemembers have been killed during the war with Iran. I am praying for their families and loved ones as we honor their service and sacrifice.

Visit West Virginia and see for yourself decrepit infrastructures, dilapidated town homes, children in poor dental hygiene, and people generally living in poor health. The coal mines are closed, and farmers are aged. Do you still imagine why the state is backward? Price of bad choice!
What does this actually measure? Thirty indicators, drawn from federal agencies, Gallup and AmeriCorps: depression, life expectancy, sleep, alcohol use disorder, food insecurity, income growth, unemployment, work hours, leisure time and volunteer rates.

The illicit power of political contribution.
THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵
