A real president does this.

Thank you to every veteran who’s worn the uniform and carried the weight for the rest of us — just respect 🇺🇸

It’s on his To Do list.

Anyone else notice babyface Mike Johnson is getting more air time lately? And he weasels out of every pointed question: "I haven't seen/read..." for future deniability.
Strongly suspect he's being positioned as next Maga presidential candidate. Miller, Vought, Vance, too unlikeable.

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

Project 2025: The Shadow Presidency of the Heritage Foundation From climate rollbacks to baby deportations—how Trump is enacting the Heritage Foundation’s extremist vision

You’ve heard of Donald Trump. But have you heard of Russell Vought?

He’s the man behind Project 2025—a 900-page roadmap for dismantling democracy and rebuilding it in the image of the far-right. Six months in, Trump is executing this plan step-for-step.

For those confused about why the current administration seems intent on destroying all that is good about our country, Men in Black (1997) can explain:
“[Would be authoritarian regimes] thrive on carnage, tiger. They consume, infest, destroy, live off the death and destruction of other species"

Please read the latest from HCR. A few paragraphs down she highlights the real danger: Vought/Project 2025 (supported by Johnson and others).

The oligarchy's wish list.

The "Big Boondoggle for Billionaires" is going to devastate rural hospitals and healthcare. Hidden in the fine print are cuts to MEDICARE in addition to Medicaid.

Shame on every elected official who voted for the "Big Boondoggle for Billionaires".

And who is doing the manipulating?

Ummm. Will someone just say it?

Trump is PSYCHO

It's horrible. I think Russell Vought is playing a big part in all of this too. They have had 4 years to plan this take down of our democracy. Trump has just been the instrument or figurehead for them. All he cares about is revenge and money.

Exclusive: Trump team freezes new NSF awards — and could soon axe hundreds of grants The National Science Foundation is the latest US agency to be disrupted by Elon Musk’s DOGE.

DOGE gremlins are completely unqualified to understand, let alone judge science proposals, and their standard approach of blindly destroying as much as possible as quickly as possible is stupid, counterproductive and inefficient in the extreme.

USAID isn’t just foreign aid—it’s a powerful tool for America’s security, influence, and values. Cutting it weakens us while empowering our adversaries. I’ve seen its impact firsthand. Watch my video and share with those who care about America’s future. 🇺🇸👇

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you.
