Gee, I can’t imagine why…

Federal agents knock down elderly couple during Portland protest An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

I live in Oregon. My elderly in-laws live in downtown Portland (not the couple in this story). The city is not burning to the ground. Trump Regime troops are illegally attacking U.S. citizens on American soil.

I am in Portland, nothing is burning to the ground. Why does he get away with just saying shit that can easily proven wrong???

Excerpt from an Axios story: Trump told reporters earlier on Sunday that troop deployments were needed because "Portland is burning to the ground," a claim local officials reject.

You can just say that the city of Portland is not burning to the ground, Axios. It's a simple, incontrovertible fact.

Donald J. Bone Spurs:

"Portland is burning to the ground — insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives."

Um, I don't think that's Portland he's talking about.

Portland is not burning to the ground. It isn’t on fire at all. This is delusional.

DOJ & FBI running interference for child traffickers? Why divert 100s of FBI employees to flag mentions of Donald Trump in the Epstein files? Why orchestrate Ghislaine Maxwell to "absolve" Donald Trump? Whitewash! Let's hear the victims instead of the guilty. #Epstein "COVER-UP"

Todd Blanche interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell is a transparent ploy to whitewash Donald Trump's involvement. Maxwell is a pathological liar. After, Ghislaine Maxwell is transferred to a minimum-security camp? Why not hear the survivors instead of the liar? "COVER-UP!" #Epstein

It's really something to read a convicted abuser and trafficker make sure in her DOJ interview to praise the President of the United States, who is trying to prove he wasn't one of her clients, in order to try and get a pardon from the President of the United States.

Not at all disturbing.

Why was Todd Blanche, Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney, sent to interview Ghislaine Maxwell, serial liar? Why was Ghislaine Maxwell immediately rewarded with a transfer to a minimum-security federal prison camp? Why is she heard & not the survivors? "COVER-UP".

Here's a quick update on the GOP's big bill

What kind of heartless ghouls would cut healthcare insurance for destitute Americans by $930 billion

AND starve them

AND take vital services from their children

So they can make a bunch of billionaires richer

That’s exactly what Trump and the MAGA Republicans want to do in their Big Ugly Bill

"Mass deportation" is the excuse and trigger for authoritarianism. As it was always intended to be.

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

A radical transformation of our way of life is underway. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking this administration is normal.

Federal workers keep America's farms healthy. What now under Trump? More than a thousand people who worked to keep American agriculture free of pests and disease have left the federal workforce in President Trump's massive government downsizing.

Donald Trump Stages an Oval Office Mugging Race-baiting South Africa’s visiting leader was a perfect summation of Trump’s racially charged second term.

The mugging of the only Black foreign leader to visit the Oval Office so far this year was the tell: Donald Trump does have a few human rights lectures in him, after all, but only on behalf of those with the right color skin.

Hoo boy

Don't look away, don't normalize: this is the virtually unconstrained leader of the world's most powerful country ambushing the president of South Africa with conspiracy-fueled racist propaganda promoted by his unelected billionaire maybe-appointee who has caused the deaths of children through DOGE.

So the administration that claimed they wanted to give Americans more medical choice is banning my choice to get a Covid booster to protect my own health?

The anti-freedom admin strikes again.

Good morning to everyone but the most corrupt president to ever exist, who is at this moment selling out his nation to the funders of terrorism so his boy can sign another $2 billion deal. Oh and Tom Holman
