Vance will be conveniently swept aside when the succession happens. We are no longer a constitutional democracy.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

No argument here. I said before he was elected the 1st time he will be the utter ruin of us. I live in Florida and no one in my inner circle or around me listened. They said I was the weird one. “Why do you care about politics so much?” Because this isn’t politics, it’s cancer.

“This isn’t a government shutdown—it’s a shutdown of Trump’s lawless, authoritarian grip on power. Democrats are holding the line while he rages, lies, and undermines our democracy. No corruption, no chaos, no Trump. #StopTrump #DefendDemocracy #NoAuthoritarianism” www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Opinion | Democrats' shutdown wager might be paying off — but can they stick the landing?

Now that Democrats have gained some traction during the governmental shutdown, they must bring into sharp focus the true challenge of this moment.

“Trump’s brazenly corrupt order to AG Pam Bondi went public by accident—proof that his claims of ending ‘weaponization’ are a sham. This is raw, blatant abuse of power. #TrumpWatch #Corruption” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Trump’s scandalous directive to AG Pam Bondi reached the public by accident

That online message in which the president told his attorney general to prosecute his political enemies? It was apparently supposed to be a direct message.

“America is first, and Canada can be second,” U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was quoted as saying lately.

Here’s a thought Lutnick, Canada is the country America can only dream to be, and we are second to none. 1/

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!
