Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

“I never thought I'd see anything like that, in the United States of America in 2025.”

Watch as Illinois State Rep. Hoan Huynh, once a refugee from Vietnam, describes the chilling parallels between authoritarian tactics he fled, and ICE’s new operation “Midway Blitz.”

A breakdown of how SNAP benefits are interdependent with the economy.

Remember: they're lying that the funds have dried up. They have contingency funds.

And recall, SNAP is 1.5% of the federal budget.

They're starving people as a political blackmail. (Netanyahu probably taught them the trick).

No different than Nazis in 1930s Germany, officials in the fascist authoritarian Trump regime — including Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio and Kristi Noem — are living on military bases and American taxpayers are footing the bill for these fascist grifters. 😡 tinyurl.com/mwbpm966

Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases

Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and others have taken over homes that until recently housed senior officers.

Trump's approval ratings are already tanking, and the American people haven't even gotten to the part where they pay enormous costs for his stupidity.

Mockler: I’m 23 years old, and Gen Zers have spent all of our formative years living in a political system that’s purely dysfunctional. People in my generation see the president posting memes online rather than actually negotiating with the other side.
