Tax the RICH

He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech. He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name. He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans. Never become desensitized to this.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

The #LAPD put out a statement thanking protesters for remaining peaceful. 🕊️☮️ The reason ... to tell the truth. Thank you to the international journalists working to spread the truth about #LA. Volunteer parents lining up to protect schools this morning is the America 🇺🇸 I love with all my ♥️

Any vets that are in DC for the felons show, wear your uniform and move to the front near the street, stand tall, but be sure to turn your back to the parade. Try to get in the camera shots.

Fuck Uber.

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

Trump is trying desperately to create a crisis. And he will try to do the same thing in 2026 to prevent the midterms from happening. Hey America, let’s not let him.

Trump wants the military to throw him a $45M birthday party. Tanks, helicopters, thousands of Troops— All to worship the coward who hid from service and now plays dictator on TV. Paratroopers delivering a flag to him? All that’s missing is the soundtrack from Apocalypse Now.

Enough said!

Finally. A requirement meant to frustrate and intimidate dedicated civilian servants comes to an end. Hopefully more to follow.

The media has normalized Trump’s lying. I get it. Trump lies as he breathes. We’ve NEVER had a politician who lies as much as Trump. And bcuz Trump lies so much, the media no longer makes an issue of his lying. That’s wrong. Today’s show, have a listen.👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

MAGAts and their Orange King would’ve lost their SHIT if Biden had done this.

Brutal from the Wall Street Journal editorial board on Trump: “Rarely has an economic policy been repudiated as soundly, and as quickly, as President Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs.”

The lengths that trump has gone to deport people of color from the country, only to roll out the red carpet for White South Africans, his message is loud and clear: He just put up a "WHITES ONLY" sign on America in 2025. Change my mind.

China continues dog-walking Trump in negotiation, and “ongoing talks” do not promise any stability. We’re still barreling towards a summer of empty shelves. apnews.com/article/chin...
