Trump’s Gold-Plated Desecration of the White House The demolition of the East Wing isn’t just architecture — it’s the ultimate symbol of his ego and contempt for democracy.

Donald just demolished the east wing. Presidents are supposed to be the caretakers of The People’s House. But like government, he doesn’t care

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

AOC: There was a day before his presidency, and there will be a day after — and it belongs to us.

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

Protect the dolls, y'all.

This is an international disaster. They targeted a disabled fishing boat in Colombian territorial waters and killed fishermen.

They call this their “small-government, big-lunch’” group photo.

I don't know. I've tried to update a listing with legit facts and their editors are nasty. You have to be 10 degrees away from anyone that has anything to with the subject of the listing or they give you all kinds of hell.

Trump's FCC tried to take Jimmy Kimmel off the air...literally a month ago today! Do they think we are stupid?

What do I know and I'm not saying it's a magic bullet or anything like that but it sure seems to me that Dems should run hard on the Argentina bailout. Not anywhere near the worst thing Trump has done, but i suspect it's unusually clarifying.

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler

ICE GOONS, laughing and pepper spraying Pastor after shooting him in the face with pepper balls, proceeded to gas the crowd who were trying to protect him.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

🚨 Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago answers this question brilliantly. 1/2

Respect to those who got here first.

Cancer will change how you live your life, that's for sure. It had me saying goodbye to a lot of people that needed to be in the rearview mirror if I was ever going to be anything but miserable. I've been NED for 7+ years now. #CancerSurvivor

OMG - Stay safe, ladies! Chicago brings me hope with their peaceful pushback against our crazy GOP govt. Those smiles tell me that you're still having fun and loving each other up! Love to see it.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Sec. 2. The Gold Card. (a) The Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security, shall establish a “Gold Card” program authorizing an alien who makes an unrestricted gift to the Department of Commerce under 15 U.S.C. 1522 (or for whom a corporation or similar entity makes such a gift) to establish eligibility for an immigrant visa using an expedited process, to the extent consistent with law and public safety and national security concerns. The requisite gift amount shall be $1 million for an individual donating on his or her own behalf and $2 million for a corporation or similar entity donating on behalf of an individual. (b) In adjudicating visa applications, the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, consistent with applicable law, treat the gift specified in subsection (a) of this section as evidence of eligibility under 8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(1)(A), of exceptional business ability and national benefit under 8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(2)(A), and of eligibility for a national-interest waiver under 8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(2)(B).

Finally reading the full Gold Card EO and wow is it wild. The order says that any person who pays $1 million is, by definition, a person of "exceptional business ability" and therefore qualified for an EB-2 visa.

Does anything better sum up the Trump ethos than "all rich people are exceptional."?
