A reminder, in white lettering on a dark green background, that the Regime has money for everything they prioritize. Yet there’s no money for healthcare and to reopen the government.

The truth about Emil Bove's conduct at DOJ would not have been fully known, if it weren't for a whistleblower.

As this administration makes a habit of misleading the courts, and ignoring court orders, speaking up could mean exposing real lawlessness.

MAGA likes to brag that Trump collected more than $2 billion in tariffs. Dude, that's YOUR money he took. And he just gave $40 billion to bail out Argentina!

Obviously this is why he lied about his intentions. He said he wasn't going to tear down any part of the White House during construction. And why the Treasury Department has told employees to stop sending pictures of the demolition out to the public.

The GOP is trying to con Americans into accepting a deal that will make their health care more expensive by fearmongering about health care for undocumented immigrants. Undocumented people aren’t eligible to enroll in Medicare and Medicaid. Don’t fall for their scam.

Screenshot from Washington Post: ICE also reported a $2 million contract for Penlink’s Tangles and Weblocs data systems on Sept. 25, which combine social media and dark web data to build detailed portraits of individuals. Weblocs allows clients to track the mobile phone location data of targeted individuals, information that government officials would otherwise need a warrant to obtain. Penlink did not respond to a request for comment.
In another project, ICE has disclosed in recent days its potential plans to set up a social media monitoring team of 16 analysts who would sift through information from social media platforms and other databases to generate leads to locate targeted individuals. An Oct. 2 “request for information,” which comes before soliciting bids for a project that could change, listed Facebook, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, Reddit, WhatsApp, YouTube, Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram, Flickr, Myspace and Google+ as some of the platforms that the team would scour to find clues about the possible location of the target individual. The target’s family, friends and co-workers could also be probed.

It's infuriating that the felon dictator can decimate a symbol of America, the people's home, to build a disgusting ego-boosting gold ballroom, which is a huge waste of money🤬

No president owns the white house🤬

The president temporarily lives in the home of the people; you don't get to mistreat it

JUST IN: The White House has begun DEMOLISHING portions of the East Wing of the White House to build Trump’s $250 million ballroom — despite earlier claiming it wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing White House structure. (Washington Post)

I'm just pissed people are focusing on the shit, and not that the plane was labelled "King Trump", or that he was wearing a crown.

That orange fucker has declared himself "King" and nobody's reacting to that.

Ben Meiselas calls on those with standing to act: seek an injunction to halt Trump’s White House ballroom. Argue fraud—Trump claimed he’d pay and not alter the structure—and use the damage to the East Wing as the emergency basis. Demand discovery now.

TODAY! Trump has once again tweeted a video of a magazine cover mocked-up to show him being elected president again & again into the distant future.

THIS was his response to NO KINGS? Is he TRYING to make our point for us? Not only does he think he's KING, he's a mad king.

Along with the $20 billion U.S. taxpayer bailout to Argentina, the Trump admin announced another $20 billion for Argentina from private banks. But the banks won’t lend the money without a guarantee from the federal government. So it’s a $40B taxpayer bailout.
