I'm going to add organizations you can support to push back against Trump's Project 2025 agenda in the comments of this post. With gratitude to Arthur Hinds for giving me this idea.

Nancy Pelosi is sick of their bullshit.

A screenshot of an X.com post by @Acyn
, Acyn, posted 3 hours ago, stating, "Question: Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th? Pelosi: Turns Around Shut up. I did not refuse the National Guard. The President didn’t send it! Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you are a serious journalist?" The post includes a video still from Lindell TV showing a confrontation: a woman in a green jacket (Pelosi) speaking into a microphone held by a man in a blue suit, with another man in a suit and a background of parked cars and a government building.

Trump recently signed an executive order declaring antifa a domestic "terrorist organization." The declaration may be absurd, but Trump's endgame is clear: to allow the government to label everyday citizens as terrorist threats in order to suppress protests and silence opposition.

The Pentagon’s new media policy blocks journalists from reporting out anything that isn’t approved by Pete Hegseth.

Pentagon reporters walked out of the building rather than sign on.

The freedom of the press has never been more crucial. Kudos to these journalists for protecting it.

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people.

Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate-backed Wall Street Democrats and embrace Zohran Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.
