Trump created something they call:

"BABY JAIL"

There are hundreds of preschoolers, toddlers & babies in this "BABY JAIL!"
HUNDREDS!

And it's all being paid for on your dime, with your taxpayer dollars & being done in your name!

Imagine the trauma, the harm, the abuse!

BABY JAIL!

Trump is clowning his evangelical base He's not even bothering to pretend anymore.

"The version of Christianity that Trump's most devout supporters embrace (and he pretends to) has no room for Christ’s actual teachings. Anyone who references Jesus’s declarations to aid the sick, poor, and vulnerable is quickly labeled a socialist and/or antifa."

Trump admin is pulling supercomputers out of key weather research center | CNN A leading American research lab is slated to lose its critical supercomputing facility, according to a letter released Thursday by the National Science Foundation.

45/47 is attempting to close or block access to the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder CO, perhaps to punish CO for not giving clemency to a convicted election worker who caused a data breach of voter data. These computers predict/track hurricanes! The US is BEHIND on research.

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

At least half a dozen top Trump administration officials appear in the Jeffrey Epstein files The degree to which each individual was connected to Epstein varies significantly, from a single email to years of communications.

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it.

Seems kinda bad?

β€œSAVE Act” is designed to disenfranchise MILLIONS of voters, that’s hardly saving anything other than an attempt to save Republican’s jobs. It doesn't Save anything or anyone.

Capt. Chavius Lewis was relieved of his command of guided-missile destroyer USS Mason, due to a β€œloss in confidence in Lewis’ ability to command,” the Navy said in a release. Surprise! He's a person of color!
He will be replaced by a white guy of course.

Cadaver dogs must be sent to all of Trumps golf courses, Zorro Ranch, and Epstien Island with ground penatrating radar. There were murders of children. There are bodies. How can this not happen. I demand this happens.Trump is a Trafficker. Not a John, a Trafficker.

We have now entered the "His Opponents Are Afraid of Falling Out of Windows" stage of Donald Trump's emulation of Vladmir Putin.

President Trump pardons Hall of Famer Joe Klecko and four other former NFL players Trump pardoned Klecko, Nate Newton, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry and the late Billy Cannon for crimes ranging from perjury to drug trafficking.

I'm all for pardons and second chances. But it's a hell of a juxtaposition to pardon millionaire NFL players convicted of drug distribution while you're summarily executing impoverished fishermen making a few hundred bucks to shuttle drugs around the Caribbean.
