Good mornin resisters 💙🌅☕
Well folks another day is up on us and the regime is busy making money off the presidency. Meanwhile he's buying elections in other countries while Americans are struggling to get by and afford groceries with prices rising for everyday goods. #voteOutAllRepublicans #Vote

Just like Reagan’s Iran Hostage Deal to thwart Jimmy Carter. Republicans continue cheating to win.

There is no argument. The trump reign of terror is by far the most corrupt presidency in the history of the United States. It’s not even close. And it’s not just trump, it’s his depraved cabinet, his family and untold members of the MAGAT wing of Congress and the Conservatives on the Supreme Court.

Trump and Bessent clarify that they will only help out Argentina as long as Milei is in power. Trump adds that the same thing goes with NYC, where the White House will hold up funds if Mamdani wins.

CNN, Fox News, NPR, Newsmax, and over a dozen other outlets refuse to accept the Trump regime’s demands on restricting Pentagon reporting: “The public has a right to know how the government and military are operating.”

US news outlets reject Pentagon press access policy

At least 20 news organizations declined to sign a new Pentagon access policy for journalists, warning of the potential for less comprehensive coverage of the world’s most powerful military ahead of a Tuesday deadline to accept new restrictions.

Wait one damn minute‼️

I know Lisa Murkowski isn’t up on her high horse talking about the lack of trust between Republicans and Democrats after she cast the deciding “Yes” on the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill and slipped in backroom deals for Alaska.

She’s part of the problem & needs to own it!
