Oligarchy - a government in which a small group exercises control especially for corrupt and selfish purpose. NEVER buy any products from any company owned or connected to Elon Musk. Trump is not a politician. He is the head oligarch.

2020 vote
Biden 81m
Trump 74m

2024 vote
Harris 75m
Trump 77m

Trump got only 4% more votes in 2024 than 2020.
The problem was the Democrat got 6m less votes.

IT WASN'T THAT A TON MORE VOTERS CHOOSE TRUMP IN 2024.

The problem was people didn’t vote for the Democrat in 2024 as much as 2020.

This is the future. Australia, Europe, China, Japan, Africa and many more parts of the world are making amazing progress. While the US under Trump stymies clean energy to support oil, gas, and even coal. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Another free press institution has fallen to right wing oligarch ownership. CBS is now owned by Larry Ellison. RIP.

Consumers to pay MORE THAN HALF of Trump tariffs.
More than half? Like 3/4? Or 90%?

As usual Trump has been lying all along.

His tariffs are a tax on US consumers. Primarily paid by the middle and lower classes. Because the rich don’t pay as large a % of their income buying these tariffed goods.

Democracy in America is being killed. This is another & critical step in America becoming a land of the few ruling the many
This will allow a state that votes majority for one agenda & party to be have a majority of the opposite agenda & party representing it in congress (& state assemblies) members

A Supreme Court ruling on voting rights could boost Republicans' redistricting efforts

A Supreme Court case over Louisiana's congressional map could determine the future of Voting Rights Act protections against racial discrimination and allow Republicans to draw 19 more House seats.

I’m sure Trump and the GOP and Maga will just give these farmers subsidies, instead of American workers having health insurance.

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

Yet another proof point that Trump doesn’t care about America. He only cares about the ultrarich and profits of corporations. He doesn’t care about the kids and kids of kids that have to live on this planet after he’s dead.

This is more like signing a non binding letter of intent with 5% in escrow rather than signing an actual business deal like a purchase agreement that is final and binding.
Part of phase 2 is Hamas disarms. Hmm… seems unlikely…

When you’re a mega rich oligarch that is anti democratic and buys politicians and control over government and just generally an ahole, and no one will buy your product, you buy them yourself.

More lies and hypocrisy from Trump. Trump claims “America first”, but gives Argentina $20 billion while shutting down the US government and not paying US workers. But when you look under the covers, it’s another Trump & GOP subsidy to a US billionaire oligarch. Interesting details in the article...

FAQ: Why America just bailed out Argentina with a $20 billion lifeline | CNN Business

The Trump administration is bailing out Argentina in a move critics are saying has more to do with politics than economics or American interests.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.
