TRump quote (from Jeff Tiedrich's post):
"it’s been an interesting day from the standpoint of news. as you probably know, we’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela. large tanker. very large. largest one ever seized, actually.”
I'm so tired of his exaggerated language!

The US is "for sale" under tRump's corrupt regime!

The only way to fix SCOTUS now is to blow it up, figuratively. The six plutocrat puppets need to be nullified if not impeached.
The next Democratic administration should expand the court.
There’s no other way to redeem SCOTUS at this point.

ProPublica revealed that Trump signed mortgages for two Palm Beach homes in the 1990s, certifying each as his primary residence even though he never lived in either and used them as rental properties, a pattern that closely matches the conduct of his opponents.

It may be that members of Congress and the public are so focused on the “war crimes” narrative not only because of the President’s false war framing, but also because criticizing war overreach is in our muscle memory.
We’re not used to accusing *our own* president of mass summary executions.

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

United States, once the anchor of democratic alliances, is embracing the worldview of the Kremlin.
Trump regime removes sanctions on Russia, it is now pushing for sanctions against the EU.
The new U.S. position is unmistakable: weaken Ukraine to strengthen Putin.

Brooke Rollins of the USDA, announced that any state refusing to hand over their SNAP data, including immigration status, will have their food aid frozen.
Give us your immigrant info or your children, seniors, families, don’t eat.
This isn’t policy. It’s extortion with a USDA letterhead.
