They probably got a decent laugh out of that one. 🤡

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅
Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅
Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅
Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation.

But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

Farmers are struggling this fall despite a bountiful harvest. Production costs are high, crop prices are low and the trade war has closed off one of their biggest markets.

American farmers are hurting. Trump's trade war is making it worse

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity.

But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

A little boy holds a handmade sign with hearts glued to it. It reads, “leave my friends ALONE Donald Trump”. He’s bravely protesting at the No Kings Evanston protest.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.
