Americans are struggling with
a government shutdown
high prices
layoffs
a chaotic administration

and Trump is planning to build a triumphal arch and just bailed out Argentina with $20 BILLION DOLLARS.

He's never wanted to run this country. He and his cronies are chaos monkeys. Nothing more. They've never been anything else.

He is wasting our money building vanity projects to himself like the ballroom, rose garden, flag poles and now this, rather than focusing on running the country. It appears Miller and Vought are making a lot of the decisions now, while Trump plays with toys.

He's getting donations to pay for the ballroom, but I still don't think it's okay that he's having that done while making Americans suffer.

What was all this anti- waste, fraud, and abuse stuff from Trump? He is spending like mad building arches and ballrooms, destroying the rose garden, and installing flag poles. It is time he started working for the people, all the people, instead of his legacy.

Trump voters did vote for what we are seeing now.

We all know what we heard from Trump. He said he was going to do all that we are seeing.

Don't be gaslit.

A MAGA voter once told me, "Oh, the American people won't allow Trump to do those things."

Shocking then and now, with lots to unpack.

🧵 The country's largest anti-human trafficking coalition has sued the Trump administration, asking for a permanent injunction to block enforcement of Trump's anti-DEI executive orders.

Is the Trump administration attempting to declaw an anti-trafficking org by weaponizing anti-DEI EOs?

If you’re in El Paso, home to Ft. Bliss and Biggs Field, and need food assistance, the Mustard Seed Cafe (where I volunteered) provides hot fresh food Wed-Friday. No questions asked. It’s main purpose was providing meals in a restaurant and dignified setting for unhoused, but is now for all… free.

It’s heartbreaking that the richest country in the world needs food banks to feed its people but it’s unbelievable that our billionaire politicians have forced our military to feed themselves and their families from food banks.

Seriously, @nytimes.com ? Participating in the raid on Iran? Blowing up Venezuelan and Columbian boats? This is peacemaking abroad? Do better.

🧵Billionaire Marc Benioff built a tower that dominates the San Francisco skyline like a giant dick. Apparently he aspires to be a giant dick himself. Crime is way down in San Francisco. No need for Trump to send troops and spread authoritarianism.

Salesforce Tower, visible all over San Francisco and known affectionately as the giant penis.

NYT headline

Marc Benioff Says Trump Should Send Guard Troops to San Francisco

Mr. Benioff, the Salesforce C.E.O. and owner of Time magazine, once supported Hillary Clinton and a business tax for homeless services. Now he’s fully behind Donald Trump

Table of crime rate change from 2024 to 2025 in a number of American cities. San Francisco dropped 14% in violent crime and 29% in property crime.

Everytime I watch MSM, It's like watching a hostage video.

Am I the only one seeing this?

With the exception of @maddow & @Lawrence and other @MSNBC pundits, every other news outlet is afraid to call out Trump's BS.

Do you consider yourself conservative or libertarian? Trump’s attacks on renewables:

* Attack free markets
* Stifle innovation
* Take lives
* Eliminate jobs
* Raise energy costs
* Harm national security

This regime is not on your side either.

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump’s hatred for renewables means the US is falling behind the rest of the world

As well as embracing ‘beautiful coal’, the president has set about obliterating clean energy projects
