This administration keeps torching the Hatch Act—propaganda videos in airports, partisan emails on federal servers, even mass firings. It’s corruption with a flag pin. See something? Say something. Expose it through the whistleblower tip line.

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

And Trump sends 20 billion to Argentina, which will help their soybean farmers and for the screw over hours. All the mags are getting exactly what they voted for. They’ll be in the poor house before long. Dumb shits.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

If we don’t speak up for the communities that Trump is terrorizing right now, we will be next.

His authoritarianism will come for all of us in the end. https://youtu.be/tkaBlgXR8tY?si=bJcUxXZWMrae4kwx

If this were real, and they actually had proof they’d be all over TV boasting about the tons of drugs and the value of the drugs they just took off the streets so far crickets. The only thing we hear is, we bombed another boat and killed more people. No proof.

Again, the reason you can tell the legal theory underpinning these strikes is b.s. is that, if it were taken seriously, it would allow Venezuela to drone yachts off the coast of Florida.

As I previously said, the Trump Administration’s actions in the Caribbean Sea are illegal and unconstitutional.

Today’s military assault off of the coast of Venezuela is just the next in a series of criminal acts committed by President Trump and Secretary Hegseth.

Trump continues to order the murder of alleged drug traffickers off the coast of Venezuela. This is not war. This isn’t even plausibly war. This is the president playing judge, jury, and executioner of foreign civilians.

Nobel Peace Prize recipient María Corina Machado appeared on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast.

She touted the oil reserves in Venezuela (the largest in the world) and vowed to privatize the oil industry to enable American corporations to exploit and profit from the country’s resources if she gains power.
