The next guy entering into the presidency has selected a complete cabinet of fools.

There are some talking heads stating that he’s selecting disrupters.

So is the new definition of disrupters unqualified idiots?

Oops. Someone at Fox forgot to hand out the talking points yesterday. Don’t worry, soon it’ll be the “best, most powerful meeting in history” and“Trump crushed Putin.”

‼️Release the Epstein files.

California is moving closer to a special election on redistricting—firing back at Texas Republicans’ gerrymandering power grab.

California Republicans are against it. They’re trying to block it while their party rigs maps in red states.

The plan is a trigger-based redraw…

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s idiocy in cutting weather preparedness is now getting innocent children killed. How many more must die at the hands of these negligent monsters?

Source deeply embedded in the Trump administration’s ongoing trade talks accused him of waging a tariff war for TV ratings.

“Trump knows the most interesting part of his presidency is the tariff conversation. It’s all fake. There’s no deadline. It’s a self-imposed landmark in this theatrical show.”

Trump Admin Insider Blows Lid Off Tariffs: ‘It’s All Fake’

A source close to the MAGA administration suggested the president’s “deals” are all theatrics.

Republicans in Congress have voted to devastate millions of people across our nation — kicking Americans off their health care, shuttering hospitals, eliminating food assistance, and raising costs.

This is Project 2025 in action.

Weird priorities. President Trump is illegally withholding $7 billion Congress appropriated for afterschool and summer programs, teacher training and other educational needs. Meanwhile, he’s demanding a trillion in tax breaks for the 1%.

That's not what the American people want.

If you’re a naturalized citizen, specifically one who does not support Convicted Felon Donald Trump and/or has darker skin, you could be targeted for denaturalization and deportation.

Fascism, anyone?

The stats don’t show that ICE is detaining the criminals Trump is claiming.

So what kind of immigrants are they going to put on Alligator Alcatraz—in tents, surrounded by gators during hurricane season?

• Asylum seekers
• Day laborers
• Moms with expired visas
• Farm pickers
• Construction workers

She was walking to work. An American citizen who was tackled, cuffed, and disappeared for 24 hours.

This is what racial profiling looks like.
With billions more going to ICE under the new bill, it will only get worse.

This is how they will fill the concentration camps.

Concentration camps on American soil. Masked agents terrorizing our neighbors and abducting people off the streets to fill them.

As if that weren’t horrific enough—some so-called “Christians” are cheering it on like it’s some kind of twisted, dehumanization porn.

What the hell have we become?

With the passage of Trump’s big bullshit bill, it’s time to post this again. Never seen a better, more accurate description of this guy.

From: Anthony Citrano

It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if we took everything that was bad about America, scraped it up off the floor, wrapped it all up in an old hot dog skin, and then taught it to make noises with its face.
