-Amazon

-Coinbase
-Lockheed Martin
-Google

The US hit an all-time high $38 trillion in national debt, thanks to Donald trump.

This marks a +$500 Billion jump in October, or +$23 billion per day, again, thanks to Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is bad for the economy, business, and your pocket. Support MAGA, lose money.

This is their playbook for the midterms. Intimidation and harassment - if we are lucky it will only be that. Because their full playbook is most likely much worse but this is the warmup act.

Align with Trump’s interests, not with US interests.
"The U.S. military’s presence is less about drugs than sending a message to countries in the region to align with U.S. interests, according to Elizabeth Dickinson, the International Crisis Group’s senior analyst for the Andes region."

That looks like a Halloween decoration, not Christmas.
Then again, this whole administration (cabal / junta / crime syndicate) is inherently evil and disturbing to normal people.

The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

An uneducated populous is easier to control. They can't think critically and are easily gaslit. This is why fascists always attack education.
every passing day, rightwingers are inventing new and unexpected ways to signal to the world they may be the dumbest iteration of humans so far

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

Our veterans shouldn’t be met with force from their own government for exercising the very rights they risked their lives to protect. I stand with every single veteran standing up and speaking out against Trump's lawlessness.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

That Donald Trump thinks the Supreme Court would decide a case based on a political speech by Ronald Reagan—instead of the law—is an admission that he knows the current, corrupt Court is a practitioner of politics, not a protector of laws.

They're literally pissing themselves as they shoot praying pastors in the face with tear gas canisters and rubber bullets. These FLARPing wankers are panicky and that makes them exceedingly dangerous to American civilians.

They don’t really care about hungry kids. Just political power. Hold the line, Democrats.

Jack Smith is asking to testify in an open & PUBLIC hearing because Republicans are lying about his work as Special Counsel.

The truth must come out! Americans deserve transparency & have a right to know what 47, & company, did to incite their insurrection against our country.
