The Trump Peace-Plan is a sham.

Yes it’s fantastic that the genocide has stopped now that it’s been completed. Yes there is nothing left of Gaza, Trump can rebuild it. It’s “prime real estate”. Yes Kushner can benefit too. Yes it gives him a feather for a Nobel Prize Nomination.

Win-win-lose (🇵🇸)

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

We should ALL be this fired up!
This is the President of the Federal Workers Union & he is calling it like he sees it! The constitution is TOTALLY being ignored! He wants Congress to do their job & he’s 100% right!
Take a listen!👇🏼

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

Now that Trump has lost the peace prize, maybe he can start fulfilling his campaign promises:

• Free IVF
• 100% Tax Free Tips
• Release Epstein files
• Lower Grocery Prices
• 100% Tax Free Overtime
• 100% Tax Free Social Security
• 10% Cap on Credit Card Interest Rates

Fun facts: Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, has won an Emmy, two Grammys, and his production company won an Oscar.

Trump has won 34 felony convictions as well as civil adjudications for rape and financial fraud. He is currently protecting rich and powerful pedophiles in the GOP.

Notice that #Drumpf47
is doing exactly what Obama accused him of doing? Turning the White House into a fake golden shrine to himself. I'm gonna look for a clip of that.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

I think yes. If they believe they are following an unlawful order, then they are complicit.
However, at any point in time, they could throw up their arms and say this is unlawful and I will not abide any longer.

To anyone saying we’re being an alarmist, the alarm is sounding. We’re done hitting snooze. It’s time to wake up and the reality is we are not the same country anymore.

The greatest threat to the American experience is the American president. Let that sink in!

What Newsom (or his people) is doing is important and has a role. What you are doing is more difficult and more important. I truly hope that your message breaks through.
