I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Maybe the real waste, fraud, and abuse was the DOGE we made along the way.

Trump and Musk now basically in a cat-fight. Another huge downside of having a dictator and oligarchs is a really sh!tty way to run a country. Neither party cares about the citizens. www.cnbc.com/2025/06/05/m...

my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Be very careful of those who use three-word slogans to rally the country ... "Peace Through Strength" "Strength Through Joy" "Joy Through Community" "Community Through Identity" "Identity Through Nationhood" "Nationhood Through Sacrifice" "Sacrifice Through War"

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

🚨NEWS: Republicans quietly put a line in their 1,000-page tax bill blocking states from preventing tech companies from using AI to raise your rent & deny you health insurance. The provision has been a priority of Silicon Valley & the Abundance movement. www.levernews.com/gop-chooses-...

No surprise here, the dotard doesn't even understand what "due process" means.

Gosh, I wonder why? 🤨

I think we now know who Donny's role model is for his monarchy. If you're a fan of rule of law or free markets, this should make you sick. www.cnbc.com/2025/05/14/t...

Tariffs: when you tax your own citizens to teach another country a lesson they won’t learn.

Trump and DOGE are making devastating cuts to agencies and programs that serve the public — all in the name of rooting out "fraud and waste." Meanwhile, the regime is reportedly planning a military parade for Trump's birthday that could cost an estimated $92 million.  Hello?

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
