The President of the United States has posted an AI video of himself unloading tons of raw sewage on American cities.

One of the targets in the AI video is Harry Sisson.

In any other presidency, from Truman to Biden, the family monetization of the office & the use of immediate family members as a substitute for senior diplomats would have immediately ended it all. But here we are, with this One Special Boy, & we just stopped being a serious country. It’s maddening.

Why the f**k is Jared Kushner talking on behalf of the US government? And/or is involved in the this file?

In what capacity?

Harrisburg, PA — there are so many older women in banana suits at the Capitol holding antifa signs and none of that sentence would have made sense to me 10 years ago

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble."

Yes, I know that I pay taxes into the national treasury. That’s the deal to live in a society with a functioning govt. But this is the first time I’ve fully acknowledged my money is helping fund Trump’s abuse & destruction. It’s a reason to dissent loudly.

When an administration’s agenda is all about “owning the libs,” this is the kind of nonsense we get. Aren’t there any grownups out there who want to serve as president?

So the president of the United States plans to meet with Putin in Hungary, and when a reporter asked where that plan came from, this was the reply of the United States government www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

In response to HuffPost’s query about who suggested Budapest, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, “Your mom did,” and White House communications director Steven Cheung replied: “Your mom.”

One child going hungry in America is one too many – this used to be a value we could all agree upon.

The Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans need to do their damn job and start delivering for the American people.

Enough is enough.
