"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

Which is EXACTLY why Congress has exclusive constitutional authority to impose tariffs. But Trump wants to be an autocrat, and unilateral tariff authority forces CEOs to come to him begging, then he can extort what he wants from them personally. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/25/k...

This has nothing to do with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and everything to do with the Convicted Felon Donald Trump regime being embarrassed that they made a mistake trying to deport him in the first place.

It is NOT Obama’s job to save us again. He already did that once. Saved the nation from the mess Dubya made.

We have a job to do. Let's find another Obama for this generation.

Apparently the CDC and CISA are "Democrat-oriented" agencies. Republicans prefer us being sick and hacked.

Q: How many layoffs have you authorized?

TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.
