Firing someone purely for their political affiliation is illegal and is a violation of free speech.

Tweet from The Bulwark: “Q: ‘How many layoffs have you authorized?’ Trump: ‘A lot. It will be Democrat oriented… They should be Democrat oriented. It will be a lot and we’ll announce the numbers over the next couple of days... Many of them will be fired.’”
Below, a photo shows Donald Trump speaking to reporters in the Oval Office surrounded by staff and press.

📌NEW Kaiser Family Foundation Poll: 78% of Americans say Congress should EXTEND enhanced ACA tax credits, including 57% of MAGA.

📌Republicans in Congress are NOT listening to their base, or the majority of Americans during THEIR shutdown.

People are asking: Why is Trump screwing American farmers so badly when they’re his most loyal voting bloc?

Maybe because it’s a cheap land grab. Run farmers out of business, then he and his billionaire buddies buy up millions of acres for pennies on the dollar.

Are the farmers catching on yet?

📌Every hour the Trump shutdown continues, the more people will learn just how badly Republicans are fucking them, and standing up for billionaires.

Oh … and that they will do literally ANYTHING to keep us from seeing the Epstein Files.

They have overplayed a really bad (bruised) hand.

He’s plotting a power grab while families are figuring out how to pay rent and buy groceries during the shutdown.

Trump first, America last.

To be clear, what Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump meant was that the military is not white enough or alpha male enough.

They believe DEI has given people of color and women the upper hand. That’s what they were saying. However, these visuals don’t drive their POV home.

“We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military.”

📌These “dangerous cities” Trump was talking about, of course, are in the country he governs, because NOTHING excites him more than attacking America.

📌He's a lowlife, a traitor, and belongs in jail.

My latest ...

RED ALERT

Trump calling on our military leaders to use U.S. cities as 'training grounds' for his latest attack is one of the darkest days in American history ...

The right wants to make a big deal out of Kristi Noem being denied access to a police bathroom in Illinois.

They cast themselves as victims while they kidnap people. They’re trying to incite a shootout between ICE and police so Trump can declare martial law to prevent release of the Epstein Files.

Proj2025 is alive and well and running the WH.

Trump said, "Don't cut Medicaid."

Proj2025 said, "Cut Medicaid!"

Proj2025 won.

Not about "values." Not about "conservatism".

THE WEALTHY WANT THEIR TAX CUTS!

Proj2025 is how they force us to pay them.

INCLUDING RIPPING APART THE MARKETPLACE!

Sen. Andy Kim: "I heard a lot of Republican Senators saying they're concerned about ACA prices going up...The reason Speaker Mike Johnson didn't bring the House back into session is because...he knows a number of his Republican House members want to vote for ACA support."
