I just wrote about how Trump's speech last night was a farce. Worse, the fact that all the major networks gave him time to delivery is a tragedy for a free press and democracy.

The Kennedy Center was established and named by an act of Congress. No media outlet should call it anything different until Congress amends or repeals that Act. Trump is not a king.

I've not actually read this article from Vanity Fair in regards to the nazee's upholding a tyrant.

The things I have heard though, let me know that if we as Americans banded together, we could probably tumble this whole illegal occupation, and never have to raise a weapon.

CALL YOUR REPS!
Democrats forced the issue. The discharge petition has the votes. ACA tax credits are on the table now.

If House Republicans block this, they own every dropped plan and every spiking premium.

Call and demand a HELL YES vote.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward. When he feels humiliated, he lashes out. Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

If you voted for Trump in 2024 and finally realize that he lied to get your vote and things aren't going well, it's okay to change your mind.

Write your representative in Congress and tell them how you want them to vote. Tell them how things are going. Tell them to hold Trump accountable.

IMHO our Congress should unilaterally reject the vile rant posted by TFG. The American people deserve better the deplorable administration that is dividing, weakening and embarrassing our country. I know that is not who most of us are.
How right Rob Reiner was/is. Another force of good leaves our world whilst the most evil remain to continue deliberately destroying everything around us. It’s infuriating and devastating.

This is exactly right. If our legislators had OUR interests in mind, they would enact common sense gun laws.
It really can be this easy btw.

ASKING FOR MONEY IS NOT EASY. Running for office in this climate of huge money is unsettling, thinking of the many who, because of the financial burden, would not even consider it. Reaching out to you with deep gratitude. Pink V3 with respect for my still-healing ankle. No need for drama! 🧗🏽❤️🇺🇸

We have 24 hours before the Senate vote to stop the January premium increases - $6,200 annual increase for the average Connecticut family on an ACA plan.

Republicans can still choose to do the right thing and vote with us.

Democrats are fighting to lower health care costs.

President Trump is calling affordability a “hoax.”

But Americans know the truth: They can read their bills and see their premium increases.

Is everyone getting it now??
Donald Trump just ended a rule that required airlines to compensate you for delayed or canceled flights.

Why?

Maybe because the airlines donated big bucks to Trump. Or maybe because the Secretary of Transportation used to be an airline lobbyist.

Either way, you lose.
