Me and My Sweet Babboo...madly in love for over 40 years and married for 37. NOT interested in dating anyone else, so please don't DM for that reason. 😉
THIS! How can these America-hating terrorists attack our country on a daily basis and nobody stops them? Every fucking day we have to wonder what else that's great about about our country will be destroyed by this lowlife, how many more Americans will be attacked. #fucktrump

Donald Trump's administration is treating the people of this country as an adversary.

It's pushing the boundaries of its authority, terrorizing our communities, and disregarding all accountability.

We will not meet intimidation with fear — we will meet it with truth.

Sorry but #CUNT is the only way to describe Leavitt and this ridiculous excuse for a president! #TrumpDestroysEverthing #trump4prison #impeach #25thAmendment #fuckTrump
Leavitt: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."
NEW: Wearing masks, no ID, unmarked & blacked out cars, refusing to say what agency they’re from and using profanity with any press & public nearby.

This was at 14th & R in Washington DC, this morning (Sunday).

What the hell is happening to the US?

(🎥 Dan Rosenzweig-Ziff, Washington Post)
"The other 215 Republicans in the House have refused to sign on, choosing instead to keep the contents of the Epstein Files hidden from the public. Once Grijalva is sworn in, Massie’s petition will have the final signature it needs in order to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files." #epstein
A partial publication of Treasury docs has confirmed Trump’s fears and disproved his administration’s claim: within the just six pages are the names of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Bill Gates.

The shutdown halts the investigation and prevents the US Treasury from delivering any more records.
SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records
The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

ICE getting tailed like it’s a heist movie. Chicago is turning the tables.
That a limited number of Republicans have been willing to call out the president on this, and the fact that everyone has just normalized Trump’s anti-constitutional behavior, marks a decay of the Republican party and its continued move away from conservative values. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
"...how online platforms like Facebook degrade over time as companies seek to maximize profit at the expense of their users, and it has since become shorthand for describing a pervasive sense of dropping standards across various aspects of modern life." #enshittification

This is an important interview. A couple stopped and profiled by border patrol comes to a realization: who they voted for lied to them. It takes courage to admit it, and more to go public.

This gestapo-like behavior cannot stand - another obscene attack supported with taxpayer dollars - with hundreds more every damn day. This lawless and financially-irresponsible administration, congress, and supreme court are killing our democratic republic with their inane obedience to dear leader.
"RFK Jr. is trying to eliminate the federal agency that is responsible for supporting states and localities with overdose prevention." "This is exactly opposite of the direction that we need to be going." You'd think any idiot would figure that out, but RFK JR is a special kind of stupid, I guess.

The crazy just gets crazier when these MAGA-infected Republicans keep trying to spin gold from a guy who is deepening into dementia every day - not that he ever made much sense. This is terrorism against the American People. #removetrumpnow #doyourjobrepublicans
"On X, meanwhile, Jeffries posted a genuine photo of Trump and his former friend the late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, with the caption, “This is real.”"
I’m not really sure what to say, but if this unhinged lunatic is allowed to remain president after posting this, we are truly lost as a nation.

Not only is this video vile, racist and immature, it’s totally unpresidential. Having this clown as our POTUS is beyond EMBARRASSING.

FFS use the 25th!

🚨In Florida, over 4.3M people received Medicaid benefits, and more than 4.7M are enrolled in the ACA for health care coverage: 2 out of 5 Floridians BENEFIT from ACA or Medicaid plans & this will change for the WORSE. What voting AGAINST their own interests looks like.💔

Here's how ACA tax credits expiring and Medicaid cuts could impact Floridians

Finally, finally!! Somebody in a position of immense power, with immense reach, drawing a hard line against this stampede toward tyranny. Hopefully this will embolden other people in similar positions.
There is absolutely NO REASON for this nazi shit to be happening and we have to stop it - you just don't get more anti-American than this - well, except for censoring free speech, and about a billion other horrors this fascist regime is trying to inflict.
These grotesque people are dead inside.

Well, this is not news.
But still important.
I ask every single day:
Where are our lawmakers?
Our leadership, who have the power to stop this?
I think we know where they are: in the Epstein files.
They're not just protecting him.
They're protecting themselves.

"The U.S. agricultural workforce fell by 155,000—about 7 percent—between March and July, according to an analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data. That tracks with Pew Research Center data that shows total immigrant labor fell by 750,000 from January through July".

Perhaps it has something to do with the man they put in the White House, but I can’t be too sure.

WTF? And why would people be lowering their flags for someone killed who WASN'T in public office? The disingenuousness and hypocrisy from the MAGA-right is louder than ever, OMG. #gophypocrisy #trumpisadementedpsychopath
What a sick and evil individual. The Trump regime's comments in the past few days should be viewed as one of the greatest scandals of our time.
Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well?

Trump: Uh, I’m not familiar, who?
