I loved President Obama. He was a great president. and ethical leader. But he wasn’t perfect.

He didn’t need to be. I wasn’t looking for a savior. I was looking for a competent chief executive who would empower the citizens he served.

That’s the difference between leadership and idol worship.

In December 2018, Epstein wrote about Trump: “I am the one able to take him down.”
Eight months later, Epstein was found dead in a prison run by the Trump administration.
Weird coincidence.

A tweet from Robert Reich states: “The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?”

The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.

SNAP benefits are about to expire for millions.

Health insurance costs are about to skyrocket for millions.

Food prices are rising.

The government has been shut down for 25 days.

What is Trump focused on?

Tearing down a section of the White House to make way for a billionaire-funded ballroom.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill includes a $39B annual business tax break for millionaires.

For that same amount, we could extend the expiring ACA tax credits for a year — and still have $7B left over.

Priorities.

RIP USA. Didn’t make it to 250 years.

Trump just called us "the enemy within"

Those are LITERALLY the words Adolf Hitler used to describe Jews in Nazi Germany. Literally the same words.

I’ve never been so ashamed of serving in the military. As a woman, my service means nothing now anyway.

As public health federal workers we support a shut down as a negotiating tool to keep Americans on their health insurance.

We are prepping to go without pay. We are readying our documents in case Vought uses a shut down to illegally fires us.

Dems, hold the line.

So, they’re suddenly giving them general discharges? Or, worse, punitive discharges because they’re pulling benefits? That’s actually illegal. They need to fight. There are certain conditions that disqualify an honorable discharge. Simply being transgender is not one of them.

62,700 people have died in the Gaza War as of July 2025. 1,983 were Israelis. 80% were civilians. Several hundred were aid workers and journalists. 74,000 were killed in Nagasaki by the end of 1945 due to the atomic bomb dropped on the city. To put things into perspective.

"The president is stealing $1 billion from taxpayers to fund the renovation of a 'free' luxury 747 extorted from Qatar that may not fly before he is out of office and which he has said he gets to keep after he leaves" another all-time classic of this genre

Zeldin’s EPA leadership has been characterized by a rejection of scientific consensus, curtailment of climate and pollution enforcement, deliberate attacks on environmental justice, personnel losses, and deregulation. In March, the EPA teamed up with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and terminated billions of dollars in grants for energy efficiency upgrades and environmental justice initiatives. Zeldin, a former House member from New York, also attempted to cancel approximately $20 billion in grants awarded through the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a green bank established under the Inflation Reduction Act for clean energy and climate-focused projects, but a federal judge blocked the decision in April. Among the “31 historic actions” initiated by Zeldin’s EPA is “reconsidering” the scientific and legal foundation for carbon regulation, which he described as “the holy grail of the climate change religion.” In 2009, the EPA determined that carbon dioxide, methane, and four other greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health by contributing to climate change. The so-called endangerment finding is rooted in a body of peer-reviewed research on the climate crisis, and it triggered the agency’s legal obligation to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. Eliminating the endangerment finding would take the EPA out of the climate change battle almost entirely.

EPA employees signed a letter criticizing their boss for not fulfilling the mission of environmental protection. They were immediately placed on administrative leave. James Baratta talked to EPA employees about this retaliation and the gutting of EPA actions:

These tariffs aren’t about the American people, they’re about President Trump. The result? A $2,800 tax on every family. Inflation is up, grocery costs are up, and while Trump pushes his personal agenda, American families are the roadkill.

🙏🏾 AMEN🙌🏾

I know this isn't useful but man is it wild how it's apparently just legal now for the president to blatantly enrich himself off of his office. Like not even a vague whiff of a possibility that there might be consequences. It's just allowed now, for this one guy.

The flood should remind us -- as the Uvalde school shooting did -- that Republican governance is incompetent & leads to more people dying.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

This is really not funny. District court judges who have been subject to increasing threats as a result of Trump rhetoric, DOJ lawyers’ suggestions that the orders of district court judges are illegitimate, and House Speaker Mike Johnson’s threats of jurisdiction-stripping, are being further….

The analogy is clear, and far from an exaggeration.
