Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.

I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

Show what measles looks like.

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

It’s exhausting to keep demanding better from establishment Dems too beholden to capital to ever challenge the billionaire elite’s GOP puppets. We’re wasting time as our democracy crumbles into dust.

Instead, we should vote them out & replace them with reps who WILL vote to impeach Hegseth
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Trump isn’t hiding the hypocrisy: blowing up vessels and people to fight the drug war while pardoning a drug kingpin who facilitated tons upon tons of cocaine to enter the US…
Trump announces a “full and unconditional” pardon for Juan Orlando Hernandez, a former president of Honduras sentenced to 45 years for drug trafficking and weapons offenses.

My latest on Trump’s continued abuse of the presidential pardon power:

Agree
The reason why I detest AIPAC is that they convinced the world that any mention of Netanyahu or Genocide is antisemitic . They have decided that any dissent about murdering Palestinians is antisemitic.

It is not antisemitic to want a country to stop killing children or wanting Netanyahu arrested.

Trump, Bill Mahar, Ted Cruz -- I kept hearing right wing MAGAs claim genocide of Nigerian Christians.

So I investigated, and here's what I found: There's no alleged genocide—but there's definitely an oil & profit interest in claiming their is. Here are the facts:

His domestic travel has basically stopped. He sees rich donors and MAGA media, not actual voters

It’s important to acknowledge that Donald Trump is slashing funding for HIV prevention and global health programs, undermining public health agencies, and treating vulnerable communities as political collateral. That is not leadership. It’s cruelty dressed up as policy.
