It's always been that way. Trump has no respect for the military yet he is the commander in chief.
Ain't that a kick in the ass?

Won't open the gov't to swear in Rep Grijalva.
Won't release the Epstein files.
Won't release the Homan files.
Taking away healthcare insurance from constituents is the Republican choice.

Knows nothing about Project 2025 then ask him about Agenda 47 & his Freedom Cities to be built on raided protected federal public land.
We need to find ways to stop the takeover.
If lower courts stop him, SCOTUS 6 hand him what he wants most of the time.
Once public land is developed, it's gone...

This is dedicated to those who believed DJT and legacy media coverage that Project 2025 was nothing to be concerned about.

Also, this isn’t legal.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

Big Oil companies are desperate to escape accountability for their climate deception and the damage it has caused.

Now the fossil fuel industry's political backers are urging the Supreme Court to stop lawsuits against Big Oil before they reach trial.

Communities deserve their day in court.

House Republicans urge Supreme Court to kill climate lawsuits

Lawmakers said the cases threaten to “bankrupt” the energy industry.

I'm glad to see Marjorie Taylor Greene on CNN talking about the reality of healthcare costs without subsidies.
It's unfortunate though that it took her own kids experiencing the hardship that many Americans are dealing with.
It can no longer be the NIMBY attitude.
