The felon said a person “on television” said he was the “third best president” behind Washington and Lincoln.

What a simple-minded fool.

Actual historians rank the felon dead last (2024). When looking @ all 3 groups (liberals, moderates, conservatives) he was in the bottom 5 for all. #FactsMatter

As opposed Congress sitting at home on another recess just to create more political theatre and to have an excuse for him not to #ReleaseTheTrumpEpsteinFiles 🙄.
#GOPHypocrisy is strong with this one.

Mike Johnson: "With Medicaid, we eliminated the fraud, waste, and abuse. We got able-bodied young men without dependents off the program. They were never intended to be there. They're sitting around on their couches playing video games. Yes, that's an actual study."

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

Pathetic.

Tip of the effin' ICEberg, this is.

Kelly @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 3d

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

This is nuts. Never seen this in my life. You want food stamps? Then you have to give up healthcare. Food or medical care; your choice. But we can afford vanity planes, ballrooms, war activities. Thank you MAGA and non-voters. You really owned the libs, and yourself.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.
