It's like Trump and the GOP wake up every morning with a new idea of how to make life miserable for average Americans while enriching themselves, the wealthy and corporations. CALL your representatives and senators, especially Republicans, and tell them WE WON’T STAND FOR THIS! (202) 224-3121

Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home.

Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures.

Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?

I guess all it takes is giving the Felonious Orange a big, tacky $400 million jet to rework at tax payer expense for him to keep.

I grew up in Texas but have been in California for 39 years. Texas has gone bat crap crazy. Doubt I will ever set foot in the state again.

MSNBC is reporting that the DOJ is seeking an indictment of John Bolton.

I can’t stand that guy, and still: THIS IS SO WRONG.

Another day of House Republicans refusing to show up for work to avoid a vote on the Epstein files. 3 weeks paid vacation and counting.

Is there any precedence in the history of the United States of a country giving a sitting president a $400 million tacky flying palace that will be overhauled at tax payer expense for him to keep?

SCOTUS could still declare emergency tariffs illegal — which would be a fun cherry on this sundae. 🍨

NO federal employees have to be fired due to the shutdown.

Trump is firing them instead of furloughing them because he WANTS to, NOT because he HAS to.

HE DOESN"T CARE ABOUT AMERICANS.

Every single Democrat in Congress should’ve already had a post up by now about the Trump admin approving a Qatari air base inside the US.
