It’s appalling and angering how the quisling Pedo temporarily residing in the American WhiteHouse and its racist misogynist clan is wasting so much taxpayer money AGAINST We The People.

Head Start centers told to avoid 'disability,' 'women' and more in funding requests New court documents reveal a list of nearly 200 words or phrases the Trump administration told Head Start programs it does not want to see in their funding requests.

Head Start needs to avoid nearly 200 words in their funding applications, like:

accessible
belong
Black
disability
female
minority
trauma
tribal
women

That list came from HHS.

Humans make families.

Telling programs that serve them to not describe them as such is dishonest and cruel.

How to say you do not have a clue how most of us have to deal with health care insurance? Here is a 🧵 that is a perfect example of someone who has zero idea on what the majority of us struggle with every single day.

ICYMI: Has the Trump regime gone far enough? Apparently not! Now, they are seeking the DNA of individuals entering the United States. Isn’t it amazing how they have no solutions for real domestic terrorists, pedophiles and other heinous types here at home?🤔

Trump officials ‘conspiring to illegally intimidate’ non-citizens via new VA report, lawmakers say Exclusive: Congress members seek answers after Guardian revealed data to be shared for immigration enforcement

VA: is short staffed, barely providing adequate svcs to vets.

Also VA: is compiling a doc that will very likely help DHS goons terrorize its already depleted workforce.

“It seems like the [regime] is trying to reduce – not just the availability of healthcare for veterans, but for all Americans”.

Trump signs executive order aimed at preventing states from regulating AI Order, which lacks the force of law, also creates taskforce whose ‘sole responsibility’ will be challenging states’ AI laws

"Repubs earlier this year failed to pass a similar 10-year moratorium on state laws that regulate AI as part of Trump’s Ugly Bill, with the Senate voting 99-1 to remove that ban. Trump’s order resurrects that effort but as an order it lacks the force of law."

@govpritzker.illinois.gov has signed a law that that allows people to sue ICE agents for unlawful detentions & BANS immigration arrests around Illinois courthouses.

Trump Insists Tariffs Will Buoy the Economy. For Now, He’s on Damage Control.

•Jan 20th, 2025 the National Debt was about $36.5 trillion;
•As of today, it is OVER $38 trillion;
•The Tariffs being collected here are stored in a General Fund at the Treasury.
•Only Congress can constitutionally authorize & appropriate how that money is spent.

This is a terrible day for American families.

Dear Felon's asskissers, just how much pie in your face on this issue is it going to be before you've had enough?

Good for those jurors for not biting at the revenge driven BS charges.

Trump criticises 'decaying' European countries and 'weak' leaders The UK praises Europe's "strength" after Trump says countries fail to control migration or take action to end the Ukraine war.

This traitor right here!! 🤬 You know what would speed up the end of the war in Ukraine. If the leader of the free world got on the right side of it and stopped trying to make Russia our new best friend. Putin is not our friend. Russia will never be our ally. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

Noem defiant as Democrats decry Trump administration treatment of migrants Several names have been floated as replacements to the Homeland Security secretary amid questions about her future in the Trump administration.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem offered an uncompromising defense of the administration’s aggressive approach to immigration enforcement before lawmakers on Thursday, as questions swirl about her future in the Trump administration.

FBI Leader Crumbles During Basic Questions About Threat of “Antifa” Well, this sure sounds like a confession that antifa’s designation as a domestic terror group was based on nothing.

Huh, FBI having issues explaining how they're hunting down a principle?🙄

"Antifa is not anything close to a centralized grp but rather a movt or ideology opposing fascism. Trump only designated it as a terrorist organization to go after any left-wing opposition to himself or his far-right allies"🎯🎯

What we know about US seizure of oil tanker off Venezuela — BBC News The US seizure of a crude oil ship is the latest in a series of escalations in the Trump administration's pressure campaign on Venezuela.

What we know about the U.S. seizure of an oil tanker off Venezuela. The Maduro gov’t is calling it “international piracy.” Trump’s pressure campaign keeps escalating, and now it’s all about oil, sanctions, and power. This is getting dangerous fast.

Republicans in Congress voted for the "Big Beautiful Bill", effectively gutting our healthcare system. They're serving corporations, not the American people.

The GOP just blocked the extension of the ACA subsidies. Are you surprised? Read my lips.
THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT YOU!

The Hill: Democratic lawmakers & Rand Paul expressed concern that the seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker could further increase tensions between the two countries.

Rand Paul: “It sounds a lot like the beginning of a war."

Man Charged for Wiping Phone Before CBP Could Search It The exact circumstances around the search are not known. But activist Samuel Tunick is charged with deleting data from a Google Pixel before CBP’s Tactical Terrorism Response Team could search it.

“Samuel Tunick, an Atlanta-based activist, Oberlin graduate, and beloved musician, was arrested by the DHS and FBI...friends describe him as an approachable, empathetic person..."

They don't know why they want the phone, but it sounds like this guy was probably better off this way.
