While discussing his crime-fighting efforts in Washington, D.C., President Trump claimed that it’s been months since the city has seen a murder. But that's not true. There have been 62 homicides in Washington since May, including one last week.
FACT FOCUS: Trump gets it wrong claiming no murders in DC for the last six months
In addition to pardoning two North Carolina turkeys at the annual White House ceremony, President Donald Trump discussed his crime-fighting efforts in Washington, D.C., claiming that it’s been six months since the city has seen a murder.

When are we gonna tell Trump to ‘quiet piggy?’
After Trump called for them to be executed, the FBI is now said to be investigating six members of Congress for reminding military service members that they should not obey illegal orders. It is not at all clear what law they supposedly violated @gregjaffe.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

Hey, why are politicians deciding who’s gonna be in office instead of the people in this country who hire them by voting for them? This is insanity and it’s to ensure that the insanity continues to total destruction.

The Trump administration’s war on tourism in red states continues
National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!)

And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.

This is unbelievably dumb, it will destroy entire tourist towns

Nothing short of chaos and absolute destruction is on the table with the trumpet administration; except of course, doubling and tripling their wealth. Getting richer while he destroys everything we’ve ever loved.
“The reorganization is another step in a series of actions by the Trump administration to redefine civil rights with policies championed by conservatives, a departure from traditional civil rights issues including racial discrimination and policing.”

It's way past time to #EndCitizensUnited. Robert Reich just posted a way that avoids SCOTUS and a Constitutional Amendment.

I think that’s the point with the Trump administration. They want the American people fighting over food and education Instead of understanding how much corruption is going on in this administration.
tRump's regime is targeting college affordability by cutting financial aid and slowing cancellation of student debt from the Biden admin. If these changes continue, colleges will gradually enroll fewer students of color and fewer students from low-income families.
