We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

This isn’t a trade war against China and the rest of the world.

It’s an economic war against working class America.

Science, technology, and medical technologists are going to hit the factory screws? Schools are removed, now practice how to turn screws from infancy.🖕

it’s a perfect plan. we will fire everyone doing skilled work in science, technology and medicine and force them into factories making consumer electronics. this will enrich the country somehow.

I'll bet. This fool's underwear is labeled: Made in China.

He signed our economic death spiral. 104% tariffs on China.

Crazy president, starting Parkinson's?

A beautiful brown, not-small dog (sorry, I don’t know breeds!) looking toward us expectantly through various legs and arms.

Day redeemed! Friendly rush-hour subway dog 😍

Great. It's best to suspend the license instantly.

Bad day to have China as your largest business partner.

For a brief break from the world, please enjoy a tale of two slugs.

Every American, no matter our political leanings, should watch this video presentation by the Singapore Prime Minister. Although his address is made to his parliament, the message is intended for us, the citizens of America who need to know what Trump is doing.

Welcome to the US Goof Show.

"What the U.S. is doing now is not reform. It is rejecting the very system it created." - Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong

I see tRump has doubled down on his stupidity. 104% Chinese tariffs. I hope US farmers like to eat soybeans. They won't be selling any.

Sure, you can trade for dried minnows.

Oh hellooo

i know it’s a fraught word but these are degenerate people

'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the women’s liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.

The President of the United States seems oddly focused on me.

Shouldn't he be focused on the economy he's crashing?

This is what Democratic leadership should be. I'm proud Ms. Crockett is from Texas!

Beautiful hibiscus as antidote to current events

Gotta have a little bit of nature's beauty as an antidote to current events.

Community is the antidote to despair.

Happy to host! 🌹

This is heartening to see! The resistance is beginning.

I know we are tired. I know we are fearful. But we will make ourselves heard and reclaim this country from the grip of MAGA fascism.

I’ve seen the inside of barbed wire prison camps in America. We came back from that and shall overcome this.

Too much, or just about right? 🤷🏼‍♂️
