Trump has frozen or canceled $28B in funding for infrastructure projects in Democratic congressional districts.

Meanwhile, representatives of those districts are fighting to extend ACA subsidies — more than half of which go to people in GOP-held districts.

Remember this.

The Rule of Law is dead in the U.S.

Understand, this doesn’t mean every case is now rigged or otherwise unfair. It means the ultimate arbiters of legality, the government actors at the top, have the clear option of ignoring the law whenever it suits Project 2025’s implementation.

48% complete now.

The AG lies, for a living. After making 100K a month working for Qatar.

Same Qatar that’s building an Air Force facility in Idaho, that gave Trump a $5 billion dollar golf project and a 747.

The agency has returned at least $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011.

It's no longer protecting consumers now...BECAUSE THIS REGIME DOESN'T WANT IT TO!

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

You have a point. Biden had both chambers of Congress at one point.
The man was a gentleman, he didn’t think it could go so bad.
Then again SCotus would have not allowed it.

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?
