BREAKING: In an absurd moment, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says that Americans should just “let Trump run the global economy… he's been talking about it for 35 years.”

During those 35 years, he's gone bankrupt six times.

Many are asking what should we do now?
“We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’”

Wise man in a sweater in his home library 📚 contemplating: 

I don't know what word in the English language --I can't find one-- applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly stuffed pockets.

The word 'evil' doesn't even begin to approach it.

Kristi Noem Says $200 Million DHS Ad Campaign Thanking Trump Was His Idea — Rolling Stone Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary said he instructed her to make ads that “thank me for closing the border”

People are losing their jobs to shrink the budget & services are being slashed… and this arrogant asshole spends $200 million dollars on tiny-penis advertising to boost his ego?!? What a slap in the face to every single American.

For a bright shining moment, after Kayleigh McEnany's endless lies, we were blessed with Jen Psaki.

And I'm over here, counting down three years, 11 months, and four days till Jan. 6, 2029.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

A reminder to the US Senate....nominees lie to get the appointment. Remember when Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh swore before you that they would absolutely NOT overturn Roe? How'd that work out? Rely on their actions and their past behavior, not their "testimony."

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

Hey Dems,
Imagine just how much the GOP would be freaking the fuck out if Obama or Biden had allowed Soros access to all treasury payment and taxpayer data. Because they’d be right to freak the fuck out.

So, freak the fuck out. Now would be good.

Trump won't visit Washington DC plane crash site because it's 'the water' The president said on Thursday he would be meeting with some of the families of victims of the tragedy, but did not specify when

Donald Trump responded sarcastically to questions about whether he would be visiting the site of the deadly crash over the Potomac River in Washington D.C., asking reporters at the White House: “You want me to go swimming?”
