I think two things are true:

1. young republicans were always terrible and racist

2. young republicans become openly hitler-loving groypers is in fact a new and alarming development that is worth paying attention to

BREAKING: United States Military members have been spotted on FOOD BANK lines in anticipation of their checks stopping on October 15. Is this the image Republicans want to project to the world? Trump's shutdown is a complete embarrassment.

The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power of the purse. By attempting to reprogram federal funds without approval, Trump is directly challenging that separation of powers. This violates the Impoundment Control Act, the very law passed after Nixon’s abuses of budget authority.

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.

Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.

If this isn't corruption, what is?

benefits of their power.

Don’t be fooled by those in Epstein’s circle who say they didn’t know what he was doing. Epstein not only didn’t hide what was happening, he took a certain glee in making people watch. And people did watch – scientists, fundraisers from the Ivy League and other heralded institutions, titans of industry. They watched and they didn’t care.

Something else that has never happened before in American history, as the Trump admin continues to piss on the Bill of Rights while Republicans in Congress continue to remain silent. Another thing to protest on Saturday.

Are we not concerned that Trump is talking about other countries making nuclear 💣s like oh okay cool no biggie⁉️
Why can’t the media see? Trump looked straight at republicans at the beginning of the year and swore they’d be rich…but you know he didn’t mean all of them.

They‘re trying to normalize crime and corruption and it is up to us to call it out and ensure that’s not normalized ever.

Seems like we’re living in the movie Don’t Look Up. Is ignorance truly bliss, or would you rather know?

Also have we not noticed all the rich, bald Stephen Miller types? LOOK! 👀

This goes a step beyond ethnic cleansing…it’s accelerationism.

This exchange lends a ton of support to this New York Times story from January that the White House previously denied. Trump reportedly joked in 2024 that Stephen Miller wants to purge the country of anyone who doesn't look like him — and Trump fully supports what he is doing.

“He has the president’s complete trust,” said Mr. McCarthy. “Trump’s complained about everyone. Never him.”
Mr. Trump may not complain about Mr. Miller, but he does occasionally poke at his obsession with immigrants — a hostility that goes far beyond Mr. Trump’s. In one meeting during the 2024 campaign, Mr. Trump said that if it was up to Mr. Miller there would be only 100 million people in this country, and they would all look like Mr. Miller, according to a person with knowledge of the comment. Karoline Leavitt, Mr. Trump’s spokeswoman, denied the account.

We are fighting for true freedom. The freedom to live a life of dignity and joy.

A life of 80 hour work weeks, of constantly struggling to get by, being trapped in a shitty job by your health insurance — this is not freedom, and we are not free. But we could be. If we fight.

(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power.
