A deep commitment to anti-wokeness

JD Vance was raised on government assistance.

Perfect snapshot of who he really is…

We got to be getting close to the part where Melania tells us to eat cake.

USA Today: "Trump administration asks Supreme Court to stop order requiring SNAP benefits be paid"

Donald Trump is now going all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to take SNAP food benefits away from Americans in need.

California won't back down in court from supporting the tens of millions of Americans the Trump Administration seemingly wants to starve.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Donald Trump Is a Commie Bernie’s democratic socialism is still compatible with liberal democracy. Trump’s national socialism is not. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Controlling the means of production …

(I suppose i’d just go with explorative grifting.)

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

Ouch 🚽

At some point we might have to consider the fact that he might be mentally unstable.

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

A tweet from the official Department of Homeland Security account tags @SenatorDurbin and reads: “.@SenatorDurbin, this is SHAMEFUL. Want to talk about TERRORIZING? How about condemn the terrorist attacks and mass assaults against our law enforcement.” It continues: “Our @ICEgov officers are PROTECTING our communities from illegal alien gang members, rapists, and child sex offenders—that YOU are supporting. You should be thanking our brave men and women of @ICEgov instead of demonizing them.”

Senator Dick Durbin posts: “Your agents arrested a young cancer patient’s dad. She’d just returned from chemotherapy. No criminal record. Immigrants aren’t the threat here. You are.” Below the tweet is a photo showing a man wearing a cap and an American flag t-shirt sitting next to a smiling young girl in a sombrero at a restaurant, with food and drinks on the table in front of them.

Sen. Durbin isn’t taking Kristi Noem’s crap. Nor should he!

Everything the “don’t tread on me” folks claimed to care about is being done by the people they now blindly support

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Trump Is Very Confused About Nuclear Weapons The president says he wants to resume nuclear testing but doesn’t seem to know why.

"Resuming nuclear testing looks weak and petulant, not strong and confident," writes Tom Nichols. "No American president should ever let the Kremlin get under his skin—especially not where nuclear weapons are concerned."

Trump Is Demolishing Four Pillars of American Power By rejecting the lessons of the previous century, the president has undermined America’s advantage over China and Russia.

Four pillars of power helped the United States win the Cold War. The same pillars will almost certainly determine whether China or America wins today’s power competition—but instead of bolstering them, “Trump is bulldozing them,” Michael McFaul argues.

The President of the United States thinks a test for dementia is an IQ test, and none of his sycophants will tell him he’s wrong.

Let that sink in.

Please, USA…do this.

Ahem

I take no pleasure to report that the reciprocal tariffs costume is sold out

When ICE comes to Philly it’s going to be brutal

Government of the rich, by the rich, for the rich, will soon flourish on the earth.

“.. Mr. Reagan is heard to say in the ad .. tariffs cause damage. ‘Markets shrink and collapse,’ Mr. Reagan says, ‘industries shut down and millions of people lose their jobs.’”
