Glad Roberts finally weighed in on one of Trump's outrages, but I can't say this makes me sleep better at night. The damage has been done - 137 men are in prison in El Salvador without receiving due process. Will Roberts do something about THAT?

Republicans in Congress need to speak up! (2/2)

Trump’s 180 on aiding Russia instead of Ukraine is a disgrace and a tragedy. Depriving Ukraine of weapons & intelligence assets has already caused the death of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians & undermines Ukraine’s bargaining position. But that seems to be Trump’s goal. (1/2)

Interesting watching the Trump/Macron Presser. Macron started off blowing a lot of smoke up Trump’s butt, complimenting him on his leadership, but segued into the almost universally accepted position that Russia actually started the war by invading Ukraine. Trump was more than a little irritated.

This was a quote from last July. July 1st, 2024, to be exact. We all know what happened then. It's a disgrace.
Justice Sotomayor Quote...👇

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

We’re supposed to just take Elon’s word that he’s found “massive” fraud in federal systems he took over? The same guy they found committing fraud on his fellow gamers?

We are about to enter the brazenly lawless stage of the coup.

Elon's DOGE isn't looking for fraud, it's looking to DEfraud.

That's why he sent in hackers instead of accountants.

Yes. And I pray for us all.

We used to all hold our breath hoping a shooter wasn’t a Muslim or a trans person.

Now we gotta worry if the air traffic controller was Black?!

Do you see how far they have moved the window?

The Nicaraguans who keep Wisconsin’s dairy farms, restaurants and factories working are sending home their most prized possessions, bracing for potential mass deportations.

“We don’t have much, but what we do have is important.”

Kash Patel is a cocked tiny little arrogant scumbag mother fucker who has zero business being the head of the FBI!

The head of the FAA was fired because he held Elon Musk accountable for SpaceX safety omissions.

Donald and Elon don't care about regular Americans dying in plane crashes, they only care about themselves getting richer.

Thank you! It's just so exhausting here....

The Constitution is unconstitutional is quite a gauntlet to throw down.

Karoline Leavitt: "The Trump administration believes that birthright citizenship is unconstitutional."

Republican congressman suggests some children receiving free school lunches should work at McDonald’s instead Rep. Rich McCormick of Georgia said the freeze on federal aid would allow the government to review all programs, including ones that provide free school lunches to low-income children.

It’s nice when the crazies self-identify.

This is disgraceful. Though it may not have stopped the crash, Trump is distracting us from the fact that he did not appoint a new FAA Administrator until today. The former FAA Administrator was pressured to step down when Trump took office because Musk didn't want him to keep going after SpaceX.

Yes! Example: SS is not an entitlement it is an earned benefit
