Those three children would still have a father if Donald Trump had gone to jail for his many, many crimes, including inciting a deadly insurrection on January 6th, as he should have.

I'm betting the Fox News-Kremlin disinformation feed beginning in 1996, this clown wouldn't be president. Maybe instructions from his Russian overlords now are to shut down our news media to hide what is really going on, and be sure Russia gets all the oil money instead of Iran. But what do I know.

Ladies.
You can't be drafted.
Sit down when war is discussed.
Unknown poster-
Men.
You cant get pregnant.
Sit down when abortion is
discussed.

This guy is a right-wing jackass who also told his listeners to divorce their families if they didn't agree with his politics. It's about time someone told him to sit the hell down and for all the right reasons.

Iran is only shutting down the Strait of Hormuz *because* Donald Trump launched this wholly unnecessary operation. These people are so stupid.

"I'm willing to take a not guilty. I'm willing to take a no true bill."

What she means is she's willing to bring legally deficient cases that harass innocent defendants, waste her line prosecutors' time, and makes her office look like jerkoffs in front of judges and juries.

Today, Donald Trump authorized the dispatch of Marines to Iran.

Tonight, he’s back at Mar-a-Lago fundraising and golfing.

Americans get a war with no end in sight and skyrocketing bills at home.

DONALD TRUMP IS A FAILED PRESIDENT!

The Senate just passed the biggest housing bill in 30 years with a huge bipartisan majority.

House Republicans should immediately take up this bill and pass it. If they do not, they will have to explain to American families why they refuse to lower the cost of housing.

Being anti-fascist isn't far left. The fuck? "Hating Hitler, Mussolini, and modern-day followers of their methods makes you far left." Insane and irresponsible reporting that damages the morals of the country

There is no organized Antifa movement. It’s just a bunch of normal people that are Anti-fascists. Much like the United States used to be.

I used to play Risk a lot in high-school. Here’s how many troops I think it will take to hold the Strait of Hormuz.

A graphic with a photo of Elon Musk. The text says, "Elon Musk's DOGE stole EVERYONE'S private Social Security data and took it to a private company. That's 350 million felonies."

It is a felony to steal someone’s private Social Security data and give it to a third party without consent.

Elon Musk's DOGE did that 350 million times.

350 MILLION FELONIES.

Trump Removes Sanctions on Russia to Help Oil Flow Amid Iran Conflict

1. Donald Trump starts a war with Iran, deeply unpopular with the American people, that causes oil prices to spike.

2. Trump allows Russia to sell its oil at those inflated prices, giving Russia far more money for its war with Ukraine.

3. Trump is Russia First.

'This place broke something in us': Kids languish in ICE detention long past 20-day court limit The Trump administration has detained more than 900 children — including a boy with severe autism — for longer than allowed under a decades-old legal settlement.

ICE detained a 9-year-old with severe autism and his mom for more than 80 days.

The boy depends on daily therapy, but at Dilley, those supports vanished.

Unable to understand why they couldn’t go home, he would cry through the night and hit himself, his mother told me.

America once led the world not just with power, but with presence — diplomats who understood regions, built trust, and prevented wars before they started.

Then Donald Trump fired them.
He walked away from alliances.
And hollowed out the institutions that kept Americans safe.
