Goodness gracious - part 2

Why are there stories analyzing Reagans tariff speech? The STORY is "Manbaby President Threw a Hissy Fit Because of an Ad Quoting Ronald Reagan"

All Democrats want is to lower health care costs for Americans. Republicans in Congress won’t even come to the table.

How out of touch are they that they can't see we are in a health care crisis?

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

Just a gentle reminder why my old man and my grandad went to war.

The IRS may not have been weaponized before, but buckle up It’s such a boring cliche to say that when it comes to President Donald Trump, every accusation is a confession. But just because it’s a cliche doesn’t mean it isn’t depressingly, grindingly,

What’s the point of seizing all the levers of power if you can’t use them to prosecute the opposition?

My little rural/suburb area here in Texas had close to 2,000 people in a No King’s gathering, today. That’s a little under 10% of our entire city’s population.

And that says everything, imo.

The richest people in the country aren’t stressing that their health care costs could double.

No, they’re getting tax breaks. Thanks to Trump, the super wealthy have never had it this good.

Working people are suffering from Trump’s higher costs.

🗣️Peaceful 🗣️protests 🗣️are 🗣️patriotic.

Donald Trump is weak. He’s a bully. And when we won’t bow down to kings or to bullies, they start to lose their power.

The American people do not bow down.

Hundreds of people at No Kings in our little Chicago suburb. A 30min train ride from the big one downtown with other local rallies in neighboring suburbs. I did a count at 12:30pm and it was a little under 3% of the village population, about 3x the turnout of June and much more diverse

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

They send soldiers. We, the people, show up in solidarity.

Today’s No Kings protest could be the largest single-day protest in U.S. history.

People have power.

There was an incredible turnout across small-town USA! Many events weren’t even on our radar. Our coalition initially tracked around 3,000 events, but the number has now surged past 4,000 and counting.

BREAKING: Our crowd count estimate from the No Kings coalition responsible for planning today’s event is 7 MILLION nationwide.

7 MILLION of you gathered across the country to peacefully protest today.

2 million more than the first No Kings action in June.

Imagine if some more republicants signed on to the Epstein files release motion.

An astonishingly large crowd!

Trump’s Secret Police Shot a Citizen. Then Damning New Info Emerged. As the official Trump administration line about the shooting of a Chicago woman crumbles, Senator Chris Murphy is asking pointed questions about what really happened here. Will we ever get answers?

Trump's federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinformation about the shooting.

Now the official line is crumbling. 1/
