Trump/Musk is flooding the zone, here is how you keep up: Trump taking cash bribes from oligarchs in exchange for power, Oligarchs steal from US gutting safety & opportunity for working families, Trump/Oligarchs doing horrible things to innocent people to distract US from their crimes against US.
If the leaders of your party are pillaging US for personal gain to tune of >$10 billion/year, and your paramilitary does violent crime every day against US, you are not the party of law & order, you are the party of crime & chaos.

Donald Trump is a violent person. He relishes violence against his perceived political opponents. He orders paramilitary to terrorizes innocent civilians. He orders murders on the high seas for sport. He starved millions who relied on our aid abroad, and is a viable threat to 42 million her in US.

If a person lies all day long to help bad things happen to good people, because that brings that person wealth & power, that person is a bad person.

I hate to get all political, but I despise Swastikas (and fascism), Nooses (and lynching), Confederate Flags (and slavery), and I have no problem judging anyone who displays these symbols as hateful and dangerous to the safety & welfare of all of US.
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.
The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

Anti-Nazi (i.e., Woke): if you are a Nazi then you cannot work for US
Anti-Anti-Nazi (i.e., Republican): if you are a Nazi then you are protected class to work for US

I don't know who needs to hear this, but there's actually no need to tolerate swastikas in our military ever. We don't need policy papers on this. We don't need long discussions and to "better understand" those who wear them. We can just ban all Nazi imagery and call it a day.

Corporate Media will ignore this as Trump being Trump, but we need to stop them from normalizing & obfuscating fact that Trump is *insane* and calling for murder of Democrats. This is not normal, this cannot be ignored, he is US President and his words must be treated seriously & literally.

Not the point of @gelliottmorris.com piece, but look at this divide among Republicans on social issues. Half of them look like normal people and the other half are way out of step with the rest of the country. There’s a bit of a mirror on the left but much smaller.

This is a lie from @washingtonpost.com on behalf of Trump. Trump is pushing Russian demands that if Ukraine does not surrender Russia will continue to attack. This is not a peace plan, this is Trump working for Putin.
The Trump administration is renewing efforts to end the war in Ukraine, pitching a revised ceasefire proposal and giving a top military official an unusual diplomatic assignment.

I feel like "Republican Elite *support* trafficking young girls for sex with adults & they steal $billions from US while in power" is a pretty effective campaign message for Democrats.
Imagine looking around America in 2025 and thinking, "What we need less of is morality."

Every decision Trump makes *as President of the US* should be put into the context of his corruption: he is either committing crimes and/or covering-up his crimes.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.

In shocking turn of events for our Media & Political Elite: turns out that almost everyone hates almost everything Trump is doing to US because Trump does not, in any way, represent "Real Americans" as Media & Political Elite tried to convince US over the last 10 years.
Far from any border, Charlotte, North Carolina, has emerged as an unexpected target in the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, shaking a region that has quietly become one of the largest hubs in the country for international migration.
As Border Patrol Floods North Carolina, Charlotte Asks, ‘Why Us?’
Federal officials say they have arrested more than 250 people in Charlotte, shaking a burgeoning city far from any border that has welcomed waves of immigrants for decades.

Incredible there is not more coverage focusing on the absurdity of Trump signing (or not) a piece of legislation whose only point is to compel Trump to do something that he is free to just do, should he want to release the Trump-Epstein Files.

Everything Republicans (and their cheerleaders in Corporate Media) told US, lectured US, about "free speech" over the last few decades was a lie. They wanted right-wing speech to be privileged over left-wing speech, not free speech. They are literally anti-free-speech.
