Next Saturday is #NoKings Day.

Stand up for democracy before it's too late.

Especially given that the media reported on every sniffle #JoeBiden had and expected detailed reports from his docs

Now they're giving #trump a free pass even though he CLEARLY isn't "In exceptional physical shape" that his doc claims

#trump directs #Pentagon to use all available funds to pay troops during shutdown

But he doesn't have control of the purse strings, #Congress does

The only way #trump can legally do this is to get #Congress to pass a bill to reopen Govt

At a cabinet meeting on Thursday, #trump agreed with #rfkjr that vaccines were bad

Then on Friday, he gets a flu shot AND a #Covid19 shot at #WalterReed

#trump also got experimental #Covid19 treatment that used stem cells from aborted tissue

And #maga anti abortion people were ok with this

Let's remind #Americans that if anything happens to #trump and #jdvance becomes #POTUS, he can select ANYONE HE WANTS as #VP

The only requirements are that they meet the requirements to be #POTUS

- over 35
- a natural born #USA citizen
- lived in #USA at least 14 years
- not been elected twice

If anything "happens" to #trump, I'm guessing #stephenmiller will be #jdvance #vp pick

Then something will "happen" to #jdvance

#stephenmiller is a modern day #JosephGoebbels and has full support of #Project2025

Mark my words, he'll be #POTUS of a #FourthReich in #USA

We all know there is no way #trump is in "exceptional health". He doesn't exercise, eats nothing but junk food, drinks nothing but diet coke

He falls asleep in meetings, can't finish sentences and is massively obese

The doc who released this statement should lose their license

I'm looking forward to a world that does NOT NEED a #National #ComingOutDay

All people should be free to love who they want without judgment or fear, so long as it's legal

That's it. That's all there should be when it comes to loving someone. You do you, no matter what it is.

What's the betting that some local or state level #republican defunded the inspectors that were used for facilities like these?

#mtg is only suddenly concerned about #healthcare because her OWN KIDS are seeing an increase in their #Obamacare premiums

She didn't give a shit when she voted dozens of times to overturn #Obamacare for tens of millions of #Americans when it didn't affect her family

Not only for the military, but for their own staff as well as thousands of #Federal staff

Many of whom live paycheck to paycheck

Imagine working for a #Congressperson. You have to be at work and won't get paid, but they continue to receive pay while they're sent home.

#mikejohnson warns #USA thaet if #democrats retake the #House in 2026, #trump Presidency is over

OK #America, you know what you need to do from here

Unless #trump finds a way to cancel the midterms entirely, which is very likely IMHO

Thank you #Rush for calling your new drummer #NeilPeart SUCCESSOR instead of his REPLACEMENT

There will NEVER be another #NeilPeart

#stephenmiller is 100% #Project2025 approved and is a modern day #JosephGoebbels

And it's likely he will be #jdvance #VP pick if anything happens to #trump

I suspect he'll end up leader of the #FourthReich, which #USA seems to be moving toward

#trump says #trump admin laid off " #democrat leaning: #Federal workers

It is 100% illegal to fire people based on their political leanintgs

It is also 100% illegal to lay off workers while they're on furlough

I expect a massive clasw action lawsuit incoming very soon

Meanwhile in #Canada we can tax deduct the cost of parking at the hospital if we get sick

It's especially unusual for someone who six months ago was cited as being a "perfect physical specimen" and "the best shape of any President in history" by doctors

If they lied, they should lose their medical licenses

#trump says #Federal layoffs are targeting #Democrat oriented workers

The class action lawsuits on this for wrongful dismissal are going to be numerous

#trump is literally admitting he's breaking the law by firing people based on their political leanings.

You also might not want to provide unlimited weapons to one side in the conflict you claimed to end by negotiation

#trump could have ended this war any time over the last 2 years by simply stopping the weapons supply to #israel and allowing a vote in #UN condemning the #Genocide in #Gaza

There is nothing that says the #Speaker needs to swear her in

Why can't #HakeemJeffries do it?

I have significant worries for the civilians returning to #Gaza city because of this ceasefire

My guess is #netanyahu will wait until a significant number of them are back before he resumes boming raids

#gop want work requirements for people on food stamps and welfare

But apparently the same work requirements aren't required for #CONGRESS to get their paychecks

#mikejohnson needs to face a vote of #NoConfidence if he won't recall the #House to work immediately

#trump is STILL insisting that #China are paying the tariffs he's imposing on them

And most of his #maga followers are believing this

In reality, if he goes through and imposes 100% addtl tariffs, #Americans will see increased costs on almost everything

Especially big ticket electronics
