Trump has hired over 100 fossil fuel insiders to staff his administration and advance the industry's agenda.

Is it any wonder why his Big Ugly Bill contains more than $40B in new subsidies and tax breaks for Big Oil?

Keep in mind that ICE now has a budget larger than every military in the world except the US and Chinese militaries.

Things are going to get much worse. I'm not saying this to create fear, it's fact.

The administration is at war with Americans.

"If there's anything Trump loves, it's watching conservative news networks praise him 24/7. He especially loves seeing how far those news outlets will go to make even his most trivial and foolish moments into something grand."

Mark Sumner 🇺🇦 @devilstower.bsky.social · 1d

Donald Trump lives in a carefully curated media bubble—half Fox News, half AI deepfakes—where everyone thinks he’s brilliant and America’s biggest concern is the White House ballroom.

Donald Trump, Bubble Boy

The President of the United States exists in a dream world, where he regularly declares things that are not just untrue, but ridiculous. This is patently obvious to the most casual observer … so long...

To all the Americans losing their jobs and farmers losing their farms, take comfort in the fact that the people in Argentina are doing great.

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.

He is destroying America. Not because he is demented but because he is diabolical with an insatiable hunger for power and money.

He emulates and admires "strong men" and dictators.

He thrives on our fear.
Do not be afraid.
