Trump just stole $1.8B. He’s going to give it to his business, his kids, and people like Flynn, Eastman, Giuliani, and the Oath Keepers. He’s doing this without court approval or Congress. This is a crime, but there’s no one to prosecute it because the DoJ is in on it.

It’s like all these incompetent appointments and stupid scandals are designed so you won’t notice Donald Trump straight up stealing $10 billion from the American people.

If you don't live in a "swing state," your vote counts less. But we can reform the Electoral College and fix that. Since we made this video, Maine and now Virginia have joined the National Popular Vote compact. Here's what you need to know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXPwJqSdLfE

Trump: "The US can't take of daycare. That has to be up to a state. We're fighting wars. Medicaid, Medicare -- they can do it on a state basis. We have to take care of one thing: military protection. But all these little scams that have taken place, you have to let states take care of them."

Please stop referring to the Voter Elimination Act by the Orwellian moniker MAGA gave it, which makes it sound good. We do not need to repeat their words (ahem, "Patriot Act," "Citizens United") but rather make clear exactly what's at stake.

He wasn't just an asylum seeker. Paktyawal was an Afghan special forces soldier who worked with the U.S. Army's 3rd Special Forces Group. He was evacuated on August 30, 2021, entered the U.S. legally and had a pending case with a work permit and social security number. Killed by ICE maggots.

I just visited Dilley and met with kids who are too scared and traumatized to eat and go to the bathroom – let alone play. It’s horrific and should alarm everyone in our country. We can’t let them do this in our name. We need to shut down Dilley.

If you lost your job because of DOGE, this will enrage you. They built a whole-ass crusade around “DEI,” then sent a staffer into a deposition who couldn’t even define it. Justin Fox’s and his assignment was to help flag grants for elimination based on a term he struggled to explain under oath. 🥴

I don't care about the productivity gains or efficiency. I don't care whether they're cutting-edge. American values matter and OpenAI clearly rejects them. I'm ending my personal subscription and my orgs' enterprise subscriptions. OpenAI will never receive another cent from me.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

BREAKING🚨 This 16-year-old boy was beaten bloody & given a serious head injury by ICE for merely video taping! I'm sure just like in the story below about Alberto Mondragon who's skull they fractured in 8 places & Alex Pretti who they shot in cold blood, they will lie about this, too! ABOLISH ICE!

Leia🇨🇴🇺🇸@theswprincess.bsky.social

ICE says a handcuffed man w/ no criminal record got 8 skull fractures running into a wall. Doctors disagree. Hospitals encrypt messages; patients fear getting care. HOSPITALS ARE NOT SAFE Call Senators. Demand investigations. Stop funding this. Keep protesting and filming ICE. ✊🏼

Corporate Media: stop citing the Trump Regime. You know they are lying, so by citing them you are just amplifying their lies, willingly collaborating with them against US.

I'm afraid for her too. First thing I thought when she bravely stepped up to share what she saw. This is where we're at folks. Hiding from our own government because the people heading the regime are off the rails psychotic & elected Republican officials refuse to do the right thing.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

This Republican law cut healthcare and nutrition programs for hard-working Americans in order to give the wealthiest Americans massive tax breaks and fund these tent cities and the gestapo-like tactics we are seeing across the country that target U.S. citizens and legal residents.
