When Trump mentions Baltimore as a “city under siege,” he’s just targeting another Black politician.

Democrats need to say, in unison, that Trump is stupid, old racist and that Baltimore has a lower crime rate than the White House.

I've seen evidence of major crime in DC.

"The Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, alleges she was subject to extreme and physical abuse by the Defendants Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein, including forcible rape during a four month time span June-September 1994 was still only a minor of 13"

Good trouble:

Reporter: The president threatened to use not just the National Guard but the military.

Bowser: I think I speak for all Americans, we don't believe it is legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil.

"Under AG Bondi the FBI is patrolling the streets of D.C. instead of disclosing Epstein’s purported client list and other affiliated documents"

A group of journalists from Al Jazeera carry the shrouded body of their dead colleague on a stretcher.

The Israeli military has killed more than 200 journalists and media workers. The latest strike killed 5 journalists, including a prominent Al Jazeera journalist. The US must stop providing weapons for this genocide. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/...

Ignorance is how we got here. Sigh.

Reality: that “extra revenue” is higher costs paid by regular American consumers & businesses, and the “tax relief” is going to the rich not you.

JD is pissing 💦 on your head and telling you it’s raining — and @marshablackburn is using this line also as she runs for governor.

JD Vance calls for redoing the census to net ‘10 additional Republican seats and 9 fewer Democrat seats’

Has anybody asked the GQP for its reasoning for redistricting?

Throwing a rock and then hiding their hand is the signature of these Republicans.
