Why does drump wear MAGA hats when he is representing our country, even in foreign countries. Because he is not the people‘s president, he serves only his minions. We are screwed.

Trump Keeps Blaming ‘The Left’ For Political Violence – After Stoking It For Years From encouraging rallygoers to beat up protesters to saluting, then freeing, supporters who assaulted cops, Trump’s incitement spans his political career.

NEW — Trump, who has fomented violence his entire political career, now claims that political violence is done mainly by “the left.”

It’s not true. In fact, scientific research says the exact opposite.

When I hear his BS, it really makes me wonder if he ever really hears anything that's happening in the real world apart from the sycophants that have to keep his bubble inflated. #EpsteinFiles

The Trump administration is canceling the DOT’s rule to get passengers compensation for extreme airline delays - just the latest example of them siding with corporations and against customers.

Factoid from @axios.com on the weakening US labor market:

"As of July, the number of unemployed people surpassed the number of job openings for the first time in four years."

More U.S. Companies Plan to Slow Hiring in Second Half of 2025 Twice as many employers as last year say they are planning to pull back on filling jobs, according to a new Conference Board survey.

Prices are up and better yet, the jobs are going away. Trump’s shitshow economy is becoming a double-flusher.

U.S. Attorney's Office press release from 1/3/25: Violent Crime in D.C. Hits 30 Year Low

Unhinged Trump post that reads: "Washington, D.C. will be LIBERATED today! Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum will DISAPPEAR."

As you listen to an unhinged Trump try to justify deploying the National Guard in DC, here's reality:

Violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low.

RFK Jr. cuts $500 million in mRNA vaccine contracts, dealing major blow to promising area of research The cuts add to mounting evidence that Kennedy is pursuing an aggressive anti-vaccine agenda.

RFK Jr. and the Trump administration are canceling vaccine development for bird flu and other dangerous diseases - an action which puts us and our kids in danger.

The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.

Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

Rick just nails it here. And his book on Trump’s cheating at golf is a fabulous and hilarious—but also bracing—read. In fact it’s one of the best books about Trump out there.

He is like a young Arlo Guthrie.

This bill passing the House is a defeat. But we must turn this disappointment and anger into work to protect the millions of Americans who this bill will harm.

The Republican spending bill is a historic theft that will take from the poor to give to the already-rich.

Republicans passed this knowing people will die.

They know people will lose their health care.

They know children will go hungry.

They will own the tragic results. We can't let them forget.

VP Vance has cast the deciding vote in the Senate to cut Medicaid, take away food assistance, blow up the deficit, and add tax breaks for the wealthiest.

This bill is unpopular because it is wrong.

Congress votes this week, but it’s our voices - and our votes - that will have the final say.

Kicks 17 million off their health insurance.
 
Cuts nutrition for hungry kids.
 
Makes it harder for working people to afford college.
 
Biggest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in history.

But go off.

If the “Big Beautiful Bill” passes we’re going to have to accept the fact that more people in the Congress want a dictatorship than a democracy. If you’re one of the majority of Americans who doesn’t you better get ready to do whatever it takes to stop them. 🙏🙏💙💙💙💙
