All Dems in all locations need to do this: every state and every district. And hammer on it as an example of his lawlessness and irresponsibility.

One wonders if it's flammable.

That banner is a massive FU to the cause of justice.

If we had an effective media, everyone would know this.

We need to tax these corporations bigly. Especially for profits on bets over $100? They are manipulative and predatory.

In 2025, Trade Deficit in Goods Reached Record High

You're saying that Trump's tariffs not only (1) increased costs on Americans (2) crippled industries that lost export customers, but now also (3) did not work at all and only INCREASED the trade deficit (probably because of 2)?!?

It's almost like Trump is a moron.

No WAY.

Next week we will read that he has transferred $100 billion to his Swiss bank account. Who will stop him?

Since the red scare? Seems way worse to me.

No, no,no. It took a real genius like Roberts to recognize this terrible omission the stupid Founding Fathers made. Sheesh, like we didn't want kings anymore.

Whoo-hoo! So cool, another war in a place most Americans couldn't find on a map. Hope Trump and Pete lead the way, parachuting in first!

Thanks, Bari!

Billionaires can never have enough money. Does the world need American football? Do they players like these long trips in season? What's the fricking purpose?

And we donate advanced military weapons to this guy. Shame on us.

When the chance comes, they must be made to suffer consequences. No more moving forward.

Disbar them.

Incredible that dems were unable to teach these facts over the last many years. Instead, we had to be brutalized to learn the truth. Same is going on with election integrity and universal health care: we are held back by right wing lies.

Potentially?

Well,no one is stopping them so why wouldn't they?

Damn, this stuff is getting scary. And it's all driven by greed and FOMO, regardless of the outrageous risks.

Have another whiskey, Pete!

When he says "Our", he is talking about Nazis, not Americans.

Yes, and it's an excellent time to point out that this was a big lie, and how many other things that MAGA believes are also big lies. But Dems will be too timid to go there.

Barry, that article by Shumer about AI is hair raising. I can't see it working out well for most of us.

Make Miller go! He is the key and he is vulnerable.

Exclusive: White House uses USAID funds for budget director Vought's security, documents show The White House budget office is using millions of dollars from the former U.S. foreign aid agency to pay for the security detail of Russell Vought, President Donald Trump's budget chief and an archit...

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.

It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.

Vought is a mass murderer.

Send more gold!!!! Lots!
