No wonder so many Republicans in Congress are retiring.

According to latest polling by
Gallop, congressional Republicans only have a 23% approval rating WITHIN THEIR OWN PARTY.

1. That’s precisely what that “life long criminal” wants. He is obsessed with money, by any means necessary. 2. Your second paragraph is exactly correct. His unraveling & demise will come by his own malignant ~narcissistic ~criminal ~traitorous (sores infested) hands.

To all Trump followers, subordinates, and particularly ALL members of the US military: See how Trump is throwing Admiral Bradley under the bus? Do ya think Trump actually gives a damn?! That's exactly what will happen to you. Do not follow unconstitutional or illegal orders!

Last night Hegseth was proudly posting images of Franklin the Turtle blowing up narco terrorists.

Today the White House is throwing Admiral Bradley under the bus.

Did Hegseth sober up and realize he could be facing murder charges?

Who gave Bradley the order?

"For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal."

Trump’s Fury at New York Times Explodes Amid Fresh Concerns About Mental Decline

As Trump’s rage at the paper of record reveals too much, the author of a piece on Trump as a “lame duck dictator” explains how devastating it is for him that his carefully cultivated illusion of strength is collapsing.

Probably the most important post you will read today. #HoldFast
An official government account using the word “remigration” is not normal. It’s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState

It’s 100% about seizing control of Venezuela’s vast oil deposits + its extensive natural minerals. The problem for Trump➡️Putin has spent many years cultivating Venezuela, for the same reason(s). He will not let Trump poach off his dinner plate. Russian subs are in the waters as well➡️waiting🚀

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

This post is illegal as it violates the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence of Venezuela. Meddlong in the internal affairs of a foreign nation is illegal and an act of war.

This is how you destroy Trump and MAGA.
The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Run on *that*

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.

They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.

There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

The response to the shooting of two National Guard troops, reporting on the boat-strike murders, and the continued contempt inquiry keep Trump's lawlessness in the news.

Some in the Democratic Party want to you think we must choose between social justice and economic populism.

Rubbish.

The only path forward is embracing both.
