I’m going to say this one more time with feeling: to the public, Trump’s agenda sounds less like policy and more like theft.

Look, he tells us, time & again, that he believes in unconstrained power politics in IR.

That's fine. It's who he is. But the United States actually has international treaty obligations to the UN & NATO, & it's everyone else's job to not treat him like One Special Boy.

Transferring ownership of this sacred land to private mining companies is inhumane. It goes against the will of the Tribes who have protected it for generations.

Sacred land is not for sale.

What Happens When Medicaid Coverage Disappears?
Medicaid cuts will affect everyone, whether they have Medicaid or not. Because of rising healthcare costs from uncompensated care, those with health insurance will also see their premiums increase.

Melania's letter to Putin saying, " time to protect children" is insulting. She hung with Epstein. She's married to a convicted felon/rapist/fraud who defunded SNAP, Medicaid, & DOE. He allows Nazi-like ICE to assault, kidnap, terrorize & disappear children. They care about children? Stop the spin!

Trump’s circus is the distraction. Rockbridge is plotting the next 20 years of right-wing power.

JD Vance’s SECRET BILLIONAIRE CLUB is funding media, rigging courts, and stacking governments.

Trump is just the puppet. Rockbridge is the machine.

Let me get this straight. 19-year-old Big Balls got himself beat up, so they brought in federal troops, which are now helping ICE, which the 26-year-old Fish and Wildlife lady is the new deputy of?

Questions that should have been asked today:

1. Why is an American president taking election advice from a Russian dictator?

2. Why are you so focused on preventing Americans from voting?

3. You’ve been President for seven
months and Putin has doubled strikes. When does this become your war?

This is not opinion it’s fact

It’s a COUP

It sounds conspiratorial to suggest that Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump behind closed doors to launch an assault on mail-in voting in elections administered by the states, and Trump immediately set about mobilizing federal power to do it… but that is literally Trump’s account of what happened.

Republicans orchestrate a selective release of some Epstein related documents. Here is a thought. Release the files with only the victims names redacted.

😑On his β€œApprentice" TV show, TRUMP repeatedly demeaned women with sexist language!

More than 20 insiders said he rated female contestants by the size of their breasts & talked about which ones he’d like to have sex with!

New Air Force Policy Denies Transgender Troops Hearings Before They're Discharged It is the second policy change the Air Force has taken in recent weeks to crack down on transgender service members.

Three active-duty Marines who were part of the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, were retained. But the Air Force will not allow transgender servicemembers to have hearings before it discharges them.

Trump Pledges Unconstitutional Order to Limit Mail-In Voting After Putin Chat President Trump pledged to eliminate mail-in voting and the use of voting machines following a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump’s meeting with Putin on Ukraine was a disaster. No deal, total embarrassment. And what’s his takeaway? Unconstitutionally attacking mail-in voting at home because Putin says it’s bad. Trump isn’t leading, he’s getting played.

Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) have announced plans to hold a press conference Sept 3rd with some Epstein survivors.

They also plan to force a vote in the House to release the controversial files.

Let’s keep the pressure on Congress to force Trump to stop the coverup.
