10 months of Trump: he's indicting opponents, he's sending the military into Democratic cities, he wants to fire missiles over California to disrupt protests, he refuses to negotiate the shutdown to prevent the release of the Epstein files. CHAOS!!!!!!

And now this 👇👇, he wants a white America….

GOP Speaker Johnson refusing to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva despite winning her election 2 weeks ago with 70% of the vote is a practice run for what GOP plans to do after 2026 election. They will not seat Democrats who won to keep control of the House. Dems need to fight hard on this now!

I still want to know what Burchett whispered to Matt Gaetz that time.

Imagine lying as easily as @RepTimBurchett does. Nobody is paying the millions of people who will be out there.

Wanting better for your country isn’t hating it, Tim. Quite the opposite. It’s real patriotism. 🇺🇸

Throwing out the constitution to cling to power is the real hating your country.

The British and German defence ministers have acknowledged that #Ukraine is a "contributor" to European security and should have a place within NATO.

"Ukraine is increasingly recognized and understood to play a part in the training of other NATO nations' forces.

So Hamas is back executing and otherwise terrorizing Palestinians in Gaza who didn’t support them. Well, that didn’t take long. #ProudBlue

If any American people still have questions, they should address them to the President, who refused to call in the National Guard.
Do they not see who is calling the NG into cities now? The President. Not the Speaker of the House.
People who still have questions need to get a functioning brain.

Danger will not disappear even when the war in Ukraine ends.
We need to toughen our defences against Russia.

The Defence Readiness Roadmap outlines our plan to fill capability gaps with clear goals and timelines.

How very fascist of them.

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.

There is literally no reason to sign. They can just read the press releases Hegseth puts on Truth Social.

So this is all pointless. Saves reporters staff, I guess.

People keep believing this is all Trump's doing. it isn't. He's just the useful idiot. Start looking where the real power is, follow the money. Big Oil, Palantir, techbros... they are the drivers of the fascist machine.

Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. They’re illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and they’re illegally spending where they don’t have the money to spend.

What we have is an appropriations king.

Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

MSNBC and NBC have quietly been doing this for a while now. Feels sort of like a “silent” affirmation of the current fascist regime. That’s right, the fascist regime in the US. Never thought I would say that. It craps all over those that fought and gave their lives in WW2.

Hey American farmers, Trump just doubled Argentina's bailout from $20 billion to $40 billion.

That's the same Argentina that, because of Trump's tariffs, has now supplanted ALL of America's soybean sales to China.

Trump sold you out – then gave the guy who benefited an extra $40 billion gift.
