Trump bailed out Argentina, who then undercut US farmers by selling their soybeans to China, who used be our biggest customer for soybeans before Trump drove them away with his tariffs.

This is Trump 3D chess in action.

Arrogance, Ignorance and Idiocy.

Nearly all the staff in the Office of Special Education have been fired as part of Trump’s sweeping layoffs.

These are the people responsible for protecting the civil rights of students with disabilities and ensuring they receive an equal education.

More needless cruelty on display.

Democrats need to put the same extended media consuming outrage into the Young Republican Nazi chats as Republicans mustered for Biden going for ice cream.

If your first thought as a reporter when racing to the scene where an invading fed paramilitary of murderous freaks are blanketing yet another neighborhood in chemical weapons after kidnapping people is to count how many objects are thrown at them, just quit. Just quit

The whole linear progress of time thing remains a challenge for MAGA.

A tweet by WeThePeople reads, “Jack Smith was hired months after the raid.” The post quotes a tweet by Aaron Rupar showing Eric Trump in a TV interview, saying, “Sure enough, we find out that Jack Smith is planting manilla folders on the office of my father...” The screenshot shows Eric Trump speaking on a Fox News-style broadcast with a city skyline backdrop.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Can't call them fascists?
