Donald Trump and Peter Hegseth have now murdered 57 human beings on their boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific.

That means they've passed Seattle's "Green River Killer" (49) to become the most lethal serial killers in American history

Iโ€™m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesnโ€™t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Take a listen to Congresswoman Becca Balint. She is incredibly frustrated and you can see the pain in her eyes. I honestly thought no American President would let people go hungry but, we are not dealing with normal times. This is pure evil.

So after the billionaires failed to launch themselves and their billionaire friends into space, with our tax dollars.

They've decided to let their billionaire defense contractor friends build a "ballroom" with our tax dollars.

Billionaires should've read a little world history.

"Weโ€™re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.

BREAKING: Jack Smith is insisting upon a public hearing if Congress wants to talk to him

Good. Why does the GOP want backroom secret questioning? What are Republicans afraid of?

Let the American people see & hear for themselves!

Theyโ€™re flooding the zone, so thereโ€™s a new horror story every hour of every day.

SNAP funding runs out in November.

Millions of Americans, children included, are going to go hungry.

Talk about it every single day.

Scream about it.

Donโ€™t let it get pushed out of the public consciousness.

People Can't Help But Point Out This One Thing About The "No Kings" Protests Versus Photos From Trump Rallies (BuzzFeed) If you didn't know, Donald Trump's supporters and the larger MAGA crowd tend to leave quite a mess behind following rallies and events.

I noticed that the folks at "No Kings' quietly took their trash with them. I am so proud to be a part of this historic movement.

Did you know that before 1975, many women could be denied mortgages simply because they didnโ€™t have a husband. Thankfully, The Sex Discrimination Act of 1975 made that illegal.

Fun fact: There were ZERO arrests of #NoKings protesters yesterday, however there were 22 MAGAs arrested for attempting to incite violence.

In a rare show of courtesy, police departments all over the US reported that the mass protests on October 18th were overwhelmingly peaceful and posted thank you messages for protestors. Out of millions of people, only MAGA agitators were arrested. ICE stayed away due to the crowd size. #3E #NoKings
