Our constitutional rights and freedoms are being gutted by an authoritarian police state that ruthlessly oppresses all who disagree with it. Our democracy is being sacrificed on an altar of greed and corruption, by plutocrats seeking absolute power.

In Trump's warped, misogynistic reality continuum, women should be seen and not heard.

Trump ignores a question from a woman reporter but says, "I just like to watch her talk. Good job. Thank you darling."

That's not Pam Bondi, it's Belgian model Ingrid Seynhaeve. www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...

Posts claim photo shows Trump, Epstein and Bondi. They're almost right

The original image, taken in 1997, shows the two men with Belgian model Ingrid Seynhaeve.

It's my expectation that the government will remain shut down at least until Adelita Grijalva is sworn in, the Epstein files are released, and ACA/Obamacare subsidies are extended. As the majority party in Congress, GOP can make all of these things happen, but they won't, because they fear Trump.

Democrats @democrats.org · 2h

It’s been 22 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election.

Republicans still haven’t sworn her in.

She would be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

Listen more closely: It could be that the siren you hear is the siren song of the post-constitutional fascist police state America is devolving into, under Dictator Donald Trump and his extrajudicial horde of ICE storm troopers.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2h

Trump: "You hear those sirens going off? That's good. A good sound. That means they either got the bad guy or they're gonna stop the bad guy. You didn't hear that sound bc nobody wanted to do anything. Listen to the beauty of that sound. That's the real deal sirens, not politically correct sirens"

51% say “worse off” under Trump/ 17% “better off.” That’s before Republican health care cuts drive up costs more.

"A bar chart by YouGov and published by CBS News Poll asks individuals about the financial impact of Trump’s policies on their lives. Fifty-one percent of respondents say they are “worse off,” thirty-two percent say they are “the same,” and seventeen percent say they are “better off.” Fifty-one percent and seventeen percent are circled in red and blue pen.

"Accused" of carrying drugs. We are killing people merely accused of a crime. No trial. No evidence. No proof of anything. This is cold-blooded murder by our government.

Everyone knows what freeloaders and goldbricks look like-- the Republican Congress is stuffed full of 'em, collecting their $175K a year + donor bribes, and doing absolutely nothing positive for America or the vast majority of their constituents.

Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House called No Kings protests “hate America rallies”. Nothing could be further from the truth. These are true patriots exercising 1st Amendment rights to say we do not want dictatorship by Trump. We don’t want unneeded military troops in our cities. We want democracy.
