🚨NEW: The Trump Administration has destroyed a mural of Dr. Anthony Fauci at the NIH Headquarters. The painting was there to honor his work to combat infectious diseases and inspire other health officials.

REPOST if you stand with Dr. Fauci against the Trump Administration!

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s golf habit is bleeding taxpayers dry. His weekend golf trips have now cost $18.2 MILLIONβ€”all while he plays at his own resorts.

In just 7 weeks, he’s golfed 6 weekends straight. Americans struggle, but Trump’s living largeβ€”on your dime.

Here’s the deal: You don’t get to claim victory one day and dodge responsibility the next.

You’re the presidentβ€”at least in nameβ€”and your party controls every branch of government.

This is all yours, Donald. Own it.

Only the body of water in red below is technically named Gulf of America since the other countries of Mexico and Cuba do not agree. The US only owns 200 miles (13 miles from shore) of the 600,000 nautical sq miles,… so the below map in red (not to scale) is giving more than the US deserves.

NEW DNC CHAIR @kenmartin.bsky.social Thank you from Iowa and the whole United States. Let's do this. Let's put on our boots and let's fight. Can I ask a favor? Can you push that no elected Democratic officials trade in stocks white elected. Can you imagine what a statement that would make?

US military deportation flight likely cost more than first class U.S. President Donald Trump's military deportation flight to Guatemala on Monday likely cost at least $4,675 per migrant, according to data provided by U.S. and Guatemalan officials.

"Trump's military deportation flight to Guatemala on Monday likely cost at least $4,675 per migrant... more than five times the $853 cost of a one-way first class ticket on American Airlines from El Paso, Texas, the departure point for the flight..."

A few things have been stopped by the judiciary so far. But don't be surprised when they get smart enough to figure out that they can write legislation giving Trump the power he needs to make these things happen. Keep your eyes open. This Republican legislature will give him whatever he wants.

1/ RFK Jr. wants to observe unvaccinated kids in Samoa as a β€œnatural experiment.”

This is disturbingly similar to the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, where researchers let people suffer and die instead of treating them.

Let’s compare. ⬇️

A rule to live by: Never trust anyone who would rather raise the retirement age than make the rich contribute more to Social Security.
