Trump hoodwinked his voters and he’s still trying to do it today…

2024: he dropped a campaign video titled “Make America Affordable Again” on day one.

2025: he hasn’t done squat to bring costs down, prices are climbing, and suddenly “affordability is a Democrat scam” because he’s panicking.

It sure looks like Trump is about to weaponize the IRS That is very, very bad—and also illegal.

“The fear generated by this action is totally inconsistent with the goal of having a government that follows the law rather than doing whatever it pleases," a former IRS commissioner told @michaelmechanic.bsky.social, of the Wall Street Journal's Trump-IRS bombshell.

This.

Our oldest daughter just drove by an anti-Trump protest in Kansas with three women holding signs. She was so excited to see them that she immediately sent me text.

This is just to say, your tiny protests make a difference. We see you. We are proud of you.

Hot take: the way Tucker grills Ted Cruz in those clips should be the rule not the exception.

If more of the media did this we would be in a much better place*

(* = It should go without saying that we are not and never will be Tucker fans)

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts?

Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.

This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Due process on pause?

“ICE” is detaining people without charges and blocking attorney access.

I hope L.A. and California are transparent about the data, because I bet most of these folks have no criminal record—just moms, dads and young people doing the work that most Americans won’t touch.

Kristi Noem less than a month ago: "There is no scenario where Abrego Garcia will be in the United States again."

(No matter what happens, bringing him back to the US is a climbdown for the administration)

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back.

This is only going to get worse.

It’s on record.

With this awful terror attack in Colorado, Congress needs to ask how many federal resources have been pulled from counterterrorism to deport Hispanics?

Contempt charges, come on

Warning Sirens Were Silent Ahead of Deadly Tornado in St. Louis, City Says

In St. Louis, the sirens to warn people of a tornado threat were not activated by the City Emergency Management Agency before a deadly tornado hit on Friday, and a backup to activate the mechanism that is operated by the Fire Department was broken.

Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding.

Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

Trump migrant detentions at Guantanamo Bay cost $100,000 per person daily, senator says President Donald Trump's use of the Guantanamo Bay naval base to house migrants appears to cost $100,000 per day for each detainee, U.S. Senator Gary Peters said during a hearing on Tuesday, decrying what he described as a prime example of wasteful government spending.

Trump Wants His Corruption to Be Public Intimidation and extortion depends on the targets knowing what price they may pay.

“An authoritarian project has to come out of the shadows to succeed. The intimidation of many depends on early and well-publicized assaults against a few. The authoritarian wants people to understand DOJ is now a department of political favors and retribution.”

Trump’s Middle East tour tells us he has forgotten about Gaza, much to Netanyahu’s delight | Yossi Mekelberg As thousands of IDF soldiers prepare to occupy the strip, the president is silent.

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

We didn’t forget about journalist Jamal Khashoggi, did we?

Murdered inside a Saudi consulate. Dismembered. Then a full-on coverup, sanctioned at the highest levels.

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch

The first lady publicized the $MELANIA coin in a Truth Social post on Jan. 19, hours before her husband was inaugurated for a second term, and two dozen digital wallets bought $2.6 million of the tokens in the two and a half minutes before her post went live, reported the Financial Times.

Watching Kristi Noem's face as Democratic House Rep. Lauren Underwood absolutely torched her on the Constitution in the House Oversight Committee hearing was amazing.

Bravo, Lauren!!!!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Old man Trump is not well. Republicans in Congress and the cable news talking heads know it—so it’s time to stop pretending.

This would be hilarious if it weren’t so dangerous. He actually believes this nonsense—and we’re the ones who’ll pay the price. ALL OF US.

Sure seems to be an awful lot of really significant stuff the President of the United States doesn't know anything about.

The war on free speech In his second inaugural address, President Trump said he would "stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America.” Since then, Trump and his administration have used the full power...

This is extortion.

If you tried to extort someone for $20 billion, you could face 20 years in prison.

When Trump does it, he’ll get a payday because no one is stopping him from cashing in on the presidency while crushing freedom of speech.

"No person shall...be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"

Fifth Amendment, US Constitution

It doesn't say "no citizen"

It specifically dictates "no PERSON"

If Trump can choose whether a PERSON is entitled to Constitutional protections

American democracy is over
