OK, so the delusional DJT just told those at hit 100 day rally that he was going to assure that the US would be putting MAN ON MARS VERY SOON. He also said “promises made, promises kept “ over his first 100 days. TIME FOR THE 25th Amendment as he is certifiable 😱😱😱😱🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

So Trump likes to say he solves everything and eggs are plentiful and down 87%! Well, I just came from Trader Joes where prices are usually low. Here are the receipts showing Trump lying. Still scarce and still pricey 😱😖😖😖😖😖

The only thing that’s going to get you fired from a Trump 2.0 cabinet is disloyalty to Trump. No act of incompetence, mismanagement, criminality, or malfeasance can get you fired. As long as you are loyal to Trump, you can pretty much do anything.

We know that Trump and his WH will lie and commit fraud in order to convince his followers that he is right and Garcia is a terrorist. When he finally gets his day in court, he will have an opportunity to show Trump to be the liar he has ALWAYS BEEN 😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖

Guy whose businesses went into bankruptcy six times says companies trying to survive skyrocketing prices due to his irrational tariff policies are “bad at business.”

If you want to understand today’s Republican Party members in congress and their absolute fealty to a soulless leader, just remember the 918 people who drank the KoolAid in Jonestown. Don’t let America become the next Jonestown 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰

We must expect and demand that the executive branch follow the law. We must expect and demand that the executive branch comply with court orders. To expect and demand anything less is a form of obeying in advance. Defeatism is a form of surrender.

TOTALITARIAN REGIMES LIKE MAGA DONT JUST CONTROL PEOPLE BY FORCE,THEY SHAPE REALITY ITSELF. THEY REWRITE HISTORY, ERASE/ DISAPPEAR DISSENTERS, AND CREATE A WORLD WHERE QUESTIONING THE SYSTEM IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH. WHEN PEOPLE STOP QUESTIONING AUTHORITY THE BANALITY OF EVIL CONSUMES THE SOCIETY.

Let’s not forget Trump was going to get “groceries” prices down immediately. Well, I went to a grocery store and while there are plenty of eggs, the price is now almost $10 per dozen. Hmmmm 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

We need more of this—and more solidarity: “No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - Harvard President Alan Garber www.harvard.edu/president/ne...

CONGRATS TO HARVARD AND ITS LAW FIRMS 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏

BREAKING: On Friday, the federal government issued new demands of Harvard University. The university's lawyers just responded: back off.

#BLUECREW. We need to accept that with the Republican majority in Congress we cannot impeach Trump. BUT we can cripple him by creating not a blue wave next year, but a #BlueTsunami with majorities in both House and Senate. We don’t want his removal from office because that would leave asshole JD

But with super majorities we could create laws that if he were to veto, we could override. He could not nominate judges without our consent. SO, we need to focus on the primaries next year and elect nominees that can win across the country. FOCUS VOTE WIN AND STOP TRUMP 👍👍

Trump proposes paying every Greenlander $10k/year. 500 million, while he cuts benefits to American citizens. He just wants to pillage their environment just like he opens half of our national forests to corporations. He may also build resorts 😰😰😰😰😰

The DJIA down 1000 points shows the market doesn’t trust Trump after he played his game yesterday 😱😱😱😰😰😰😰😰

It is now becoming clear that SCOTUS has become part of the Trump fascist administration as it continues to overturn federal courts to enable his autocratic government. Our best hope is to keep protesting and get congressional support 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
