The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

Abortion HAS been and SHOULD be a private, personal matter between a woman and her doctor. It should NOT be a matter of forced political or religious ideology.

>>> Republican maneuvering will not STOP abortions. Sadly, however, it will prevent many SAFE abortions.

The South Carolina GOP is pushing for one of the nation’s strictest abortion bans. If passed, the bill would:
✅Make abortion a felony equivalent to homicide
✅Narrow the legal definition of contraceptives
✅Criminalize sharing information about abortion

Do they have a prize for blowing up boats in the Caribbean and then bragging that people who made their livelihood fishing there for generations are now afraid to go out on the water?

4/19/25 marked the 250th anniversary of the birth of the American Revolution. I think of all who fought & died for our Republic since then. Then I think of Trump doing his best to DESTROY it. I'm sickened, but NOT discouraged!

NO KINGS!

RESIST! It's now or never

"Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."

Republicans won’t show up to vote on paying our troops during the shutdown because avoiding a vote on the Epstein files to protect Trump and his friends is more important.

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.
