Trump has frozen or canceled $28B in funding for infrastructure projects in Democratic congressional districts.

Meanwhile, representatives of those districts are fighting to extend ACA subsidies — more than half of which go to people in GOP-held districts.

Remember this.

Listen, I love a good boycott, and u definitely didn’t see me downtown unless the shop was black owned, but BUS boycotts used to last MONTHS, sometimes YEARS. A one day boycott ain’t doing a thing, sis

“The first amendment is dying in real time.” All badges from all major media outlets but one, have been confiscated by the Pentagon,as journalists refused to sign a pledge that would have essentially criminalized their integrity & ability to practice journalism as we know it.
Take a listen!👇🏼

(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.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Trump just upped his bail-out for Argentina from $20 billion to $40 billion. Argentina has government run healthcare that's available to all Argentinians.

Yet Trump has shut down the American government while trying to take healthcare away from millions of Americans.

What say you, Republicans?

Just a deep, dark cesspool of corruption like we’ve never seen before in US history at every single agency and level of government. Republicans in Congress continue to ignore all of it and if people still care about having a Republic they will vote them out as soon as they can.

Two government officials laughed when The Intercept brought the president’s story to their attention. interc.pt/3LdDdko

A photo of National Guard soldiers crossing the street in downtown Washington, D.C., near the White House, on Oct. 15, 2025, overlaid with the headline, "Trump Fabricates Story of Hand-to-Hand Combat Between Troops and Child Gangsters in D.C.," and the DEK, "Trump’s claim that National Guard members beat child gang members on the streets of Washington was disputed even by the military."

Bedrock of the works, slowly insinuating itself into the mainstream with zero push back from White people since 2008.
The now “surprised,” act is insulting.
