Given how unpopular he and his agenda have become, and how worse things are likely to get, Trump has two choices now:
- course correct, end the tariffs, fund health care, do things that make people's lives better
- do everything he can to prevent free and fair elections next year

Please tell your maga uncle in Florida. He won't believe you because he won't turn of Fox, but still.

An aspiring tyrant in the making…

Stephen Miller was always a POS. Here he is in high school, already looking middle-aged, giving a student government speech:

“Am I the only one who is sick and tired of being told to pick up our trash when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us?”

The Attack on Chicago People need to look at these pictures and ask, is this America?

“For Noem — and Trump, and Miller, and Hegseth, and Patel — the brutality is a made-for-tv movie. It’s entertainment. And they get off on the raw, naked will to power. The law be damned. They love this. They are proud of this. And they will keep doing it.”

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

The Trump administration has cancelled 4,304 deliveries to food banks so far this year, refusing to deliver 94 million pounds of contracted-for food. Food banks simply can’t feed people enough anymore. Millions of Americans are going hungry as a result.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's killing, Stephen Miller is trying to criminalize being a Democrat.

In part, it's an attempt to cover up Trump's unprecedented corruption.

WHERE IS LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT?

It was just yesterday that a Trump-appointed judge called Trump’s Portland claims untethered to reality.

I keep coming back to this.

Sen. DURBIN: Was January 6th “peaceful” as Donald Trump has claimed?

Republican witness: No. It was a riot, and many officers were injured.

Truly demented!

Truly demented!

To explain:

At the start of his opinion, Judge Young includes an anonymous note received by his chambers, which reads “Trump has pardons and tanks..what do you have?”

Responding to the note, Young says we have our “magnificent Constitution” and “here’s how that works out in a specific case —“

He should be playing with the little green army men only!

NEW: FBI Director Kash Patel says recent court orders — related to a few dozen pages of grand jury material — are preventing him from releasing the FBI's massive trove of Epstein files. That's not what the courts actually said.

The right wing can complain all they want, but we will continue to fight for free and fair elections and against GOP collusion to undermine them.

Trump preyed on teen girls like he’s preying on the republic When it comes to Trump and Epstein, it’s no longer a question.

We are a ball-hair away from the leader of the free world outlawing opinions that displease him. Yet there’s still a question as to whether a president like that can possibly be a hot garbage bag who liked raping teenagers.

One thing I’m really struggling with today is the fact that the director of the FBI is a conspiracy theorist who promoted QAnon and called Jan. 6th insurrectionists political prisoners.

This is the guy we’re now supposed to give the benefit of the doubt when he’s releasing information.

Rep Eric Swalwell (D-CA) asks Kash Patel if Patel told Attorney General Pam Bondi that Trump's name was in the Epstein files

This was what happened next =====>

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

University of California students, professors and staff sue the Trump administration Faculty, staff, students, and unions allege the federal government is weaponizing civil rights enforcement to undermine academic freedom.
