Robert De Niro: "This should not be happening. Trump should not have been able to run for President. This is insanity and we've gotta straighten it all out. We're done with hope, it's about getting rid of this idiot.

GETTING RID OF HIM."

The modern Olympics are no longer about athleticism, but about nationalism. So sad.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families β€” and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

I wish more politicians understood how the economy is rigged against regular people the way Bill Burr does.

Not only will we continue to demand the release of the unredacted (other than that of the victims), Epstein files, we demand the victims be heard!
We don't care what a convicted sex trafficker has to say. The only voices that matter are those of the victims.

July 29, 2025 marks 67 years to the day since the founding of NASA. NASA Spinoffβ€”a section of the US space agency’s technology transfer programβ€”compiles just about every commercial technology that has originated in US space research, from freeze-dried food to wireless vacuum cleaners.

A reminder that Brazil arrested and charged their former dictator Bolsonaro with planning a coup and trying to overturn the 2022 elections in their country.

If only the United States had done the same instead of giving the plotter of a coup full totalitarian power of the govt.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

WELL PLAYED GOVERNOR!

Kristi Noem wanted to do a press conference today at the Illinois Governor’s mansion. So Governor JB Pritzker
hung this banner.

Noem ended up choosing a different location.

Your thoughts?

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.

If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

Somehow, Trump has declared that we’re under numerous national emergencies from the Southern Border Emergency to the Energy Emergency, Trade Emergency, Public Lands Emergency, and Immigration Enforcement Emergency. Yet these crises seem so β€œurgent” that he finds time to golf every weekend. Odd.

The Trump Crime Family Business: Selling America from the Inside While Trump sits in the Oval Office, his sons are cutting foreign dealsβ€”from Saudi towers to Qatari golf resorts.

Trump’s back in the White Houseβ€”and his kids are cashing in. Saudi towers, Qatari golf deals, crypto schemes. This isn’t public service. It’s a shakedown.

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

Trump's Make Apartheid Great Again plan is rolling along.

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.
