Yes, elderly, children, disabled, too. What level of cruelty to play political games with the lives of over 40 million Americans who may go hungry.

There are military families that depend on SNAP benefits. Veterans, low-wage workers at places like Walmart and Amazon, too. But sure, Republicans, keep telling us the people who get them are just lazy and won’t work, while billionaire donors keep getting more tax cuts.

Trump's Reckless Threats With Our Troops Got a Minute or Two? Mad Hattery and Other Outrages...in Japan

Let’s hope our troops stand by the Constitution, not Trump threatening to deploy active military to achieve his fever dream. Let’s hope they reject his hateful attacks on fellow Americans and his sick plot to escalate violence.

News Outlets Dance With Trump and His Ballroom CNN reportedly got word to downplay the East Wing demolition; the Washington Post excuses it

What a tragedy. When we need legacy media to stand up against Trump’s corruption, both CNN & The Washington Post are soft-pedaling their responses to please Trump. Exhibit A: Their responses to his demolition of the East Wing of our WH. @markjacob.bsky.social www.americaamerica.news/p/news-outle...

But the problem is incendiary rhetoric from the left? Give me a break.

It’s important not just to recognize the profanity of Trump and his regime, but also the beauty of what’s endangered and worth fighting for. A heart-felt reflection by @mollymckew.bsky.social.

We are now learning how much oppression and abuse Americans will tolerate. The day will come when enough Americans will decide enough is enough and this lawless regime must be stopped. But right now too many are willing to let the lawless abuse continue.

It should be repeated over and over about the Trump agenda: He builds himself a massive gold ballroom while millions of children and elderly may go hungry because his enablers insist the government cannot afford to pay their meager benefits.

Trump wants to pretend he's all-powerful and is free to run for a third term in 2028? Let's call him a lame duck.

Yes, I care greatly about the outcome of the midterms, but if you’re not feeling urgency to speak out and push back every day between then and now, you’re missing the gravity of this moment.

The daily abuse by Trump’s masked ICE agents are such an ugly and sour drumbeat of life in Trump’s America. But we can’t look away or grow accustomed to this lawless cruelty. We need to be resolved that it must be stopped and these men must be held criminally accountable along with their superiors.

How unhinged and disconnected from reality is Trump? β€œCount the five lies here from his latest post: β€œAfter winning THREE Elections, BY A LOT…best Polling Numbers that I have ever received. People see how strong the Economy is, the Trillions of Dollars of Investment pouring into our Country…”

The Ukrainians have proved themselves to be brave, persistent and unwilling to forsake their independence to a murderous dictator. A good model for Americans.
