Fellow Americans, which other Presidents, at home or abroad, can match or exceed his documented disqualifications? 👇🤔

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

The Speaker is out on camera complaining that the No Kings protest is Hamas sympathizers.
At the same time, Kegseth is announcing Hamas funders are getting an air base on American soil.

Fucking idiots.

I think AP should recycle this "breaking" story from Apr 30, 2025.

Trump company strikes Qatari golf resort deal in a sign it's not holding back from foreign business

The Trump family company has struck a deal for a luxury golf resort in Qatar. It's a sign that the company has no plans to hold back from foreign dealmaking during a second Trump administration.

Nebraska’s Third Congressional District voted more heavily for Trump than any state. He won it by 53 points.

Yet a 40 year-old couple in Kearney, NE, in that district, with two teenagers and making $75,000 a year will see their ACA Premium go from $208 a month up to $489 a month. In January.

One feature or authoritarian movements: They get more extreme.

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

The president has made no secret of his enemies list.

But we will not be intimidated.

We will not be deterred.

We will do our jobs and continue fighting back against these attempts at retribution.

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.

Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

I looked these up in light of the gutting of our ability to respond to Ebola and every other possible outbreak, but it struck me that THIS is the guy who wants to criminalize criticism of the president and his leadership?

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
There is a good possibility that a person who treated patients in West Africa and who FLEW into New York has Ebola. Touched many, bedlam!
Donald J. Trump O @realDonaldTrump
A single Ebola carrier infects 2 others at a minimum.
STOP THE FLIGHTS! NO VISAS FROM EBOLA STRICKEN COUNTRIES!
Donald J. Trump O @realDonaldTrump
Tremendous pressure on President Obama to institute a travel ban on Ebola stricken West Africa. At some point this stubborn dope will fold!
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Obama just appointed an Ebola Czar with zero experience in the medical area and zero experience in infectious disease control. A TOTAL JOKE!
Donald J. Trump
>
@realDonaldTrump
If there is one more Ebola case in the U.S., a full travel ban will be instituted. This common sense move should have been done long ago!

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
I don't know if President Obama isn't stopping the flights from Ebola torn West Africa because he is stubborn, stupid, or just doesn't care!
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
With all that is happening with Ebola, including the doctor who so easily came back to New York, Obama still refuses to stop the flights!
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
There is ZERO margin for error on Ebola. Are we confident in Obama when he can't even make a website for $5 Billion?
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Here we go - A healthcare worker who treated Thomas Duncan, the man who flew into the U.S. from West Africa infected with Ebola, caught it!
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
All the governors are already backing off of the Ebola quarantines. Bad decision that will lead to more mayhem.

Elected Republicans are getting desperate. Their lies are getting more ridiculous. They’re now trying to discourage protest by claiming No Kings will be a hate rally with terrorists. Millions of Americans have the chance to demonstrate how wrong they are.
