Who else but Trump would use a Russian oil deal that makes him rich in order to stop a war in Ukraine. How about arms & sanctions instead. Oh sorry that might end the war but doesn’t make money for the Trump crime family- silly me

Trump keeps talking about revoking citizenship of people like Ilhan Omar, he should definitely revoke the citizenship of Elon Musk. A man who thinks he has the power to change US policy.

Just found out Medicare does not cover tetanus shots unless you have part D (which I do)So the government would rather poor get an infection and get hospitalized for thousands of dollars than pay a hundred dollars for a shot. No wonder this country is messed up

The irony of Oklahoma people being unable to pay electric bills during a hot summer is that the very sun could be used with solar panels to cool them much cheaper. But Republicans want to keep their fossil fuel donors happy so…

1 in 6 IS households are behind in their utility bills. Yet the Trumps, Musk, Zuckerbergs & Bezos of the world have more money than anyone could possibly spend. These Republicans are disgraceful & disgusting. Vote Blue if you want concerns of real people addressed

Meta took down the No Kings page on Instagram for four hours yesterday. This type of anti democratic behavior needs to incur a heavy penalty and people no longer using Instagram and hurting their revenue

Trump is showing his desperation. Since he hasn’t been able to prove voter fraud, he’s now focused on Nursing Homes! Good grief Charlie Brown make hm stop it

As a show of support, Minnesotans should overwhelmingly vote Ilhan Omar back in office, and reject all Republicans on the ballot who have remained quiet at this travesty.

Here we go with irony again, a concept Trump clearly doesn’t understand. It’s ironic that Trump asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign for her conduct as ambassador!

The amount of money being poured into the election, especially by the Republican billionaires is nauseating. It’s no longer who is best qualified to serve but who has the most money for ads. People need to start reading and stop watching sound bites that often aren’t even true or reality based

Come on Texas! What right does Ken Paxton have harassing and investigating your pediatrician? It’s your decision and no doctor will “pressure you” to make money for Big Pharma. Vaccines have saved lives & it’s your choice.Tell Paxton to leave your doctors alone. It’s a political move in desperation.

With the lessening of gun restrictions, Trump is regressing the US to the old Wild West. Anyone can have a gun & silencers and don’t need to register it claiming the law was overly restrictive. I live in a blue state, but I won’t be traveling to a red state anytime soon. What are we coming to?

Trump sending $500 Obama care refund checks is an act of desperation, a stupid one. Trump has been promising healthcare reform for 10 years with nothing to show for it. Only MAGA would think this $500 is a big deal. Why doesn’t Trump use some of his billions instead of our tax money -huh?

We’ve had some crazy, corrupt cabinet members before (teapot dome)but this collection by Trump has to be the worse. Kennedy dismantling the CDC etc, Patel using gov resources to fly, Hegseth-too many to mention, Bessent lying & throwing tantrums, Burgum approving every crazy Trump idea. On & on

It appears that now with the Republicans on the ropes, it’s OK to vote by mail. Of course if the Republican candidate loses, it’s fraud. Aren’t we all tired of this yet?

Hegseth is a Russian agent or stupid.Think about it: firing top commanders, warfare study headed by Musk and Newt Gingrich(!),building a new Trump luxury base, ending tenure for non military faculty, an office of religious affairs, tests for testosterone deficiency. Best way to weaken armed forces

Internal review of the Fed building renovation found no misconduct or illegal activity. It did say the renovations were poorly managed and lacked sufficient budget restraints. That should shut Trump up, that’s often how he poorly manages projects- reflection pool, West wing 🤣

Mike Johnson is traveling to 22 states and more than 40 congressional districts until election day. When they tell him it’s time to go back to where he works. I’m sure he’ll take a plane directly Mar-a-Lago.

So much for Republican philosophy of individualism,Trump is proposing that if you don’t major in something he approves of you won’t be given a student loan. So liberal arts is the enemy of Republicanism because it teaches you to think?Sounding more like Russia and China every day.

When do we say enough! Trump is brokering gold deals from Venezuela in a notoriously corrupt industry including a company the US deems a SECURITY THREAT. This is Mafia stuff.

I guess Trump isn’t making America great. So many Americans have applied for Canadian citizenship that the wait has gone from months to 3 years. How embarrassing for our president, American talent going north.

No matter how Trump tries to rewrite history in his favor, history will win out. It always does. His stupid signage, silly plaques in his “presidential hall of game walk” will come tumbling down. Serious historians will record his attempts to overthrow democracy in excruciating detail.

No amount of pretzel twisting is going to justify Trump’s media ban because of national security. The ban is because he’s thin skinned and can’t abide criticism.

Also in light of Trump’s banning of news organizations, a powerful message would for the rest, except Fox and Newsmax, not to show up for the sideshow, sorry briefings. The only way to make Trump irrelevant is to ignore his craziness. I know you can’t do it, but it would send a message.

Since everyone knows Trump’s agenda, wouldn’t it be great if no one, except Russia, showed up for his talk at the UN tomorrow. After all, we all know what he is going to say.

The irony of Trump’s ban on CNN, MS Now & Politico is that the real fake news networks are Fox & Newsmax. They’re the news outlets pushing the boundaries of free speech with Ingraham, Hannity et al

Trump has invested heavily in AI development thus his early repeal of Executive Order 14110 and his dismissal of Dario Amodel’s letter. AI has great possibilities but regulations are critical if we don’t want it swarming the Internet. The Republican majority need to step up in spite of Trump and act

Mike Johnson, he of the fiscally Conservative Party, has pledged to try to get the $5000 payment approved even though it will bring the national debt to the stratosphere. He’s a joke and certainly doesn’t resemble anyone Jesus would approve of.

Is there any earthly reason why a country, like Ukraine, fighting for its existence would pull back because Trump doesn’t like the fact it’s raising diesel prices in the US. Well stop the war you claimed you could do in 2 weeks 7 months ago and prices will come down.

Anyone see the irony of Trump’s Civil Rights division threatening states that won’t turn over their 2024 election data. A move many courts have ruled is illegal. States run elections & the info belongs to states not the government. Republicans should be nervous but it has nothing to do with rolls

Presidents have advisors to help them make decisions in running the country, Trump has advisors managing him and running the country while he trolls & builds monuments to himself and that’s scary.

Roger “Doc” Marshall, a Kansas senator up for reelection isn’t your genial country doc. He’s a multimillionaire who sued 700 patients and had 81 arrested for non payment of bills. Doctors have to live but multimillionaires don’t need to arrest the poor for small bills. And he tried to end the ACA!
