So, as THE Head of the Republican Party our PRESIDENT EMBRACEs THE Communist Dictator and The Communist Party Line? Isn't anti-communism the bedrock of The Republican Party? During the election cycle last summer, weren't Republicans accusing the OTHER Presidential Candidate of being a Commie?

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Trump’s administration seems chaotic, but he’s drawing directly from Project 2025 playbook Many of Trump’s executive orders mirror plans laid out in Project 2025, a conservative policy plan developed in part by the Heritage Foundation.

Even though Trump said during his 2024 campaign that he was not affiliated with #Project2025, evidence of the project’s agenda can be seen throughout the beginning of his second term. A politics professor explains: https://buff.ly/4jO1udE (Zachary Albert @brandeisuniversity.bsky.social) #polisky

Trump Roasted Over Huge Catch in His Canada and Mexico Tariff β€œWins” Donald Trump is being hit with a massive fact-check over his claims about the success of his tariffs on Mexico and Canada.

Trump has, almost overnight, β€œtarnished our relationships with our allies, whose help we need to rein in China,” all while destabilizing the economy and making it an unattractive landscape for future investment.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or β€œcontroversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Senator Dick Durban to Kash Patel:

"With all due respect, Mr. Patel, I've not worn the uniform of this country and neither have you. To think that you would denigrate Bob Mueller's service to our country and call him a 'swamp creature' is an indication of the depths your political views take you."

Kash Patel, President Trump’s nominee to run the FBI, has made money over the years off his connection to the Trump brand, Truth Social and other Trump-linked entities. That includes hawking a $344.99 cabernet with Trump’s mug shot on the label.

Kennedy speaking at his inauguration, looking young and vital.

Kennedy speaking at his inauguration, looking young and vital.

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it.
This is the precedent.

The Capitol Rotunda has been traditionally used for presidents lying in state.

This Monday, it will be used for a president lying to *all* states.

8 inches of fresh snow laid on the ground for President John F. Kennedy's inauguration on Jan. 20th 1961. The temperature at 10 am was 19.4Β°F in Washington DC.

In his speech JFK urged American citizens to "ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country."

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin in his farewell address: "You know, I was taught at West Point to pray that I would 'choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.' And I have tried every day as Secretary to live up to that teaching."

It's a prayer for America right now.
