America sacrificed First.

The Lincoln Project @lincolnproject.us · 1h

Argentina. Qatar. Trump is selling out America, piece by piece. Where did America First go?

Trump treats every “property” like his personal Monopoly board. Even the country the people have elected him to protect. He’s betraying his own voters. He’s betraying every single American.

This is not Mar-a-Lago, Donald!

This is incredibly important. Please don’t let Trump & Co force our most important institutions pledge their loyalty to an autocratic regime.

This whole blackmail business Trump has going, forcing universities, media companies, the military and others into submission, is not just categorically wrong but dangerous. None of these institutions should ever pledge loyalty to one party, one person, one evil man.

Standing up to fascism used to be a patriotic thing. Now it’s being framed as a “Hate America” thing.

It’s not America we hate. It’s an authoritarian government.

Hence, #NoKings events. Oct 18 is a day of peaceful protest against dictatorship.

Who wants their $250 medication for free and collect an additional $1000 in cash?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Trump: "We're gonna be reducing the cost of medicines by 100%, 200%, 300%, 500% and even more than that."

“Antifa roundtable.” What a joke, what a political theater. The Trump movement needs invisible bogeymen to justify his unlawful, unconstitutional hostile takeover of blue cities. Weaponizing the military has been normalized. This is extremely dangerous for the country.

Thank you, Jim. Such a great piece of writing. I subscribed & hope you will keep calling people for what they are. What a sham accusation. Flynn, Miller, Trump & others are definitely what you called Flynn to be.

Uncontrollable rage triggered by bigotry. This is why this country became so dark and hostile.

This guy doesn’t just have a mushroom complex. This guy isn’t just a weird sociopath. This guy really thinks he’s a king. And always blaming someone else for his cruelty.

He’s so not my president.

Q: How many layoffs have you authorized?

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

Stefan 🥼 @stefank1117.bsky.social · 16h

Yes please, everyone. Does anybody really want a King? MAGA, really?

Because Republicans despise the military simply because Trump does. Their patriotism is as fake as their leader.

Reminds me: Has Adelita Grijalva been sworn in yet, Mike Johnson?

It’s also the same guy that supports the guy who discourages parents to have their children get the measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) vaccine.

1,563 cases in 2025 is the most in the U.S. since 2000, the year measles was officially declared eliminated. 92% of patients are unvaccinated.

Again: This is the most corrupt admin in US history. And there is nothing pro-American about their actions.
