Are all official US Government social media accounts now run by trolls?

You didn't think this one through did you? You're giving people reasons to not support this administration.

So the 40 billion bit seems rather insignificant compared to the dramatic shifts in tax burden moving away from the rich and more towards the rest of us, money which is being spent on MAGA agenda efforts in Argentina and implementing authoritarianism in the US.

I saw someone bragging that Trump has reduced the US Deficit by 40 billion with the tariffs that are hurting our economy.

I don't know if that's true, but I do know that ytd for September 2025 corporations have paid 78 billion less in taxes than in 2024 while individuals have paid 230 billion more.

We have no Kings or Furhers in the United States. We only have a Republic as long as we can keep it, so participate in a peaceful No Kings protest near you to speak up for your desire to keep it.

On Oct 18, “No Kings” rallies return nationwide — 10 cities in Louisiana too. Johnson & Scalise call them “hate America rallies,” but standing together to say no one man should rule a free people is the definition of loving your country. That’s America at its best. #NoKings

This Saturday, Americans will take to the streets to say one truth: No Kings.

Protesting tyranny isn’t un-American — it’s the most American thing there is.

He doesn't seem to understand that the purpose of the National Guard is to help prevent Kings in the United States.

Trump wants to build a big arch in D.C. Not sure why that's more important than say, Universal Healthcare, but different people have different priorities I guess.

The US Constitution is not fascism.

It is not authoritarianism.

It's the opposite; it is the blueprint for a functional democracy, where the government is of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Another day, another court lets us know what we already knew - that Trump breaks the law.

This time that his firing of government employees during a government shutdown is illegal.

After I won my special election, I was sworn in three days later.

It’s been 21 days since Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva won her special election, and Speaker Johnson has yet to swear her in.

Speaker Johnson, swear her in.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

But sure... give him a Congressional Nobel peace prize and a few beachfront hotels in Gaza. He'll also sell countries US based military bases for gifts like his own personal jet. Cuz he's all about the people, after the gold and Bitcoin of course.

defunding public media, deploying troops against US citizens, blaming immigrants, minorities and political opposition for every problem they possibly can and purging the US government of those more loyal to the country itself instead of a political party.

He's following blueprints left by Hitler and Project 2025, yet people are standing there like the Nazi character in the Sound of Music who kept repeating that Austria hadn't changed, and getting upset at the word fascism as if it somehow didn't apply to the tactics of taking over our news media,

All the while people are wanting to praise Trump for Israel finishing its bombing of Gaza so that they can turn it into a waterfront resort area.

Instead of trying to fix healthcare, or invest in Biden's moonshot of curing cancer, Trump wants to build Hitler's German Arch of Triumph in D.C.

Gaza is destroyed. Israel and Trump can now rebuild it as they wish.

It's good that the hostages are released, but it's because the scenario has played out. The damage was done and Trump isn't a saint in the story.
