ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

20 billion dollars from the US Treasury **was not enough**. So now it's 40 billion dollars! And why stop there?

All while the US government is shut down.

"America First," amirite?

Democrats shouldn't let go of these Young Republican messages.

Have the right-wing defend it. The VP, JD Vance, already has, and the talking points have been delivered to the MAGA base.

They keep deflecting and doing both sides, but nothing is comparable.

Just keep it in the news.

News outlets are right to not play along with the Defense Department directive that tries to force reporters to only publish information officially authorized by the department.

This is government censorship, plain and simple.

Media outlets, including Fox News and CNN, refuse to sign Pentagon's press access rules | CNN Business

The Pentagon is telling beat reporters to sign restrictive new rules by Tuesday or surrender their press passes by Wednesday. Many news organizations are rejecting the ultimatum and saying they will not sign.

And giving $20 billion in our tax dollars to Argentina whose prez was performing on stage.

But, Trump will NOT pay:
Military
TSA workers
Air Traffic Controllers
All the people who make his food (which, IMO, would get paid first! I read "Bullwhip Days.")

Think I will recommend that book next.

He's using us, our money and military, to defend his $5.5 BILLION investment in Qatar for a Trump golf course and resort deal he made in April.

Trump's pact to defend Qatar could shake up or shore up a fragile region

The order vows to use the US military, if necessary, to defend the tiny energy-rich nation almost mirrors aspects of a Nato alliance.

When you wake up and discover the Nobel Peace Prize was given to a woman who fought against you- tooth and nail. But you can’t post your upset because you’re at Walter Reed and can’t remember why…
Congratulations, Maria! You deserve it🩵
