SCOTUS thinks their jobs will be safe in the future, while making it easier for a fascist to takeover. Once the fascist takes over, it will be buh-bye to SCOTUS and the legislative branch.

A win! A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump admin from carrying out mass layoffs during the ongoing government shutdown. The case centers on Trump’s statements indicating that the planned firings would be politically motivated, targeting employees based on their political affiliation.

Breaking: Capitol Police have been called after a Republican congressional office was just caught displaying a swastika.

This comes one day after group chat messages were leaked of young GOP officials saying “I love Hitler” and calling to put Democrats in “gas chambers.”

This fascist regime has NO RESPECT for Americans. We are dirt to them. We are shameful examples of pathetic losers.

The fat fascist racist has made it clear he is not FOR Dems, ANTIFA, immigrants, brown people, women or even BLUE states.

He is NOT OUR PRESIDENT because he SAID he is NOT. Wake up.

Trump’s DOJ Won’t Police ICE. It’s Time for the States to Step Up

Who is overseeing ICE as they use batons, chemical sprays and pepper-ball guns against unarmed people who appear to pose no threat?

Presser Goes Off Rails

Tuesday, President Donald Trump seemed crazed and power-mad. He refused to take a question from an ABC reporter, as punishment for an interview with JD Vance that went badly. He boasted about cutting only Democratic programs. He crudely belittled a female reporter.

What? The bankruptcy king, our fat fascist rapist, has made the country broke? After taking in millions selling his influence? Where'd that $$ go? What about the $$ for Argentina? What about the $$ for Congressional raises?

There's no money for healthcare or food, tho. And no one to pick the food.

Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts.

Six people are being deported because of what they said online.

Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended.

It won’t stop with these six people.

Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

Is Putin ready to stop the war?That is the wrong question
The right question is:Can Putin stop the war?⤵️
