The Trump administration wants to present Portland, Ore., as a “hellscape.” Right-wing influencers are eager to help.

And based 100% on bold faced lies. All bullshit! The lies just get more outrageous the more frustrated the administration gets that they are the only ones acting violent! 😡

The Trump administration sent a proposal called the “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” to nine universities. It would trade support for the administration’s agenda in exchange for favorable treatment.

Today, M.I.T. became the first to reject the agreement. 👏

Blatant bribery! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hoping to end their country’s clash with the U.S., Venezuelan officials offered the Trump administration a dominant stake in the country’s oil and gold wealth.

More blackmail by our POS prez! Running his criminal enterprise out of the White House!!!

Russell Vought, the White House budget director, said on social media that “RIFs have begun.” That’s short for reduction in force, bureacratese for layoffs.
Vought did not say how many federal employees, or at which agencies, would be cut.

Trump has become the great layoff king! Mr. Unemployment!

An appeals court appears open to allowing troops in Portland, Ore., which would reverse a lower court’s ruling.

Judges need to see the cities for the themselves before ruling on allowing trump to send in more troops! Then they will see there is no justification whatsoever to do so!!! 🤬

Already, protesters are outnumbered by at least 5 to one probably many more. And the 🤡 wants to send in the National Guard??? Why?! Simply because he can!!! Despicable actions by a prez!!!

The 🤡 administration has made deep cuts to the nation’s science funding.The cuts translate as direct personal losses. Each may mean a layoff, a shuttered lab, a yearslong experiment or field study cut short, grad students turned away; lost knowledge, lost progress, lost investment, lost dreams. 🤬

The U.S. has killed at least 21 people in strikes on boats off the coast of Venezuela, saying it is attacking drug cartels. But Venezuela supplies little cocaine and no fentanyl.
They were probably innocent! Typical 🤡 - excessive force for no tangible reason! Just like his overreaction to protests!

In the Oregon case, a 3 judge panel appeared inclined today to let 🤡 proceed with sending troops into Portland and pause an earlier ruling that had halted the deployment. Troops from California and Oregon are outside the city waiting for a ruling.
The protesters are already outnumbered 5 to 1! 🤦🏻‍♂️😡
