Donald Trump is deploying the military to our cities and using our servicemembers as political pawns.

Americans aren't asking for this. This is about one thing: Trump's agenda of fear and chaos.

Trump's authoritarian power grab must stop.

He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one.

Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant.

Many have speculated how he’d do it.

Now his gambit is clear.

DC was a test.

He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities.

This is not a drill.

Democracy is at defcon 1.

He must not be allowed to finish his term in office and Vance must not be allowed to continue in office either. After this administration we need a thorough investigation of everything illegal done by Trump and his stooges and many should be sent to prison. Especially Trump and Stephen Miller.

How dare the Republican party fold and give up all their authority to let a dictator rule. How dare the Supreme Court acquiesce to his every anti American whim. It is up to the citizens of the US to be the check on Trump's presidential power.

Trump is destroying America just as predicted 9 years ago. This term will be the worst presidency in American history. Trump actually told our military leadership their next battles will be against the American people who live in our great cities across the nation.

After attending the abomination of the gathering of generals and admirals and being forced to listen to Hegseth and Trump speak their anti American bullshit. Vice Chief of Staff General Bossiere has submitted his resignation. I feel for these generals and admirals. Trump is destroying America .

β€œThe River House Broke. We Rushed in the River.” The July 4 Texas flooding ripped our Kerr County home from its pillars, pulling us into the water and into the night. Then morning came.

I've cried for my friends who lost loved ones. This story by a Texas Monthly reporter made me cry again. This should never be allowed to happen again.

We’re not living through a β€œwow this is a bad administration” moment.

It’s a β€œthere may not be another administration” moment.

It’s not just politics.

Starting this month I will contribute 10% of my wages to Ukraine. This is the Ukrainian site for accepting donations. You can select what area your donations go to. Please join me in doing the same. We must show the world that we Americans are not like our criminal treasonous president.

In Trump's dealings with Russia in both of his terms , it's apparent that he is a traitor and supports Russian interests over America. His dismantling of USAID and his treatment of Ukraine lay this bare.

Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Ban Crumbles

Trump claims the 14th Amendment wasn’t for immigrants’ kids, ignoring its text: β€œAll persons born” in the U.S. A fourth federal judge just blocked him. If the Founding Fathers are β€œspinning in their graves,” it’s because he’s rewriting historyβ€”and losing.
