Trump's federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinformation about the shooting.

Now the official line is crumbling. 1/

I for one do think it's possible for America to find a president better than one who, faced with claims he is dumping shit on Americans, posts a video showing himself dumping shit on Americans.

Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

So Argentina gets 40 billion dollars from Republicans for Universal Health Care Insurance. Then tells you Americans cannot afford money for American health insurance?

This is so anti American.

Communism in the making. Wake up, people!!!

Karl Marx: "The theory of communism can be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property."
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: The Trump regime is systematically turning private companies into government-owned companies.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 5d

EISEN: What do you say to people who say the government taking stakes in private companies and picking winners and losers sound socialist?

BESSENT: We're not going to come in and takes stakes in non-strategic industries, but we've identified seven industries

Kaine: "We should not be allowing the president to create a secret enemies list and make the unilateral decision about whether to kill people without sharing that information at least with the Armed Service and Intel committees. So this is very troubling."

Of all the excuses not to show up to work while still collecting a paycheck, refusing to show up for 2 months so you can conceal info about sex trafficking because the perps are wealthy and powerful can only be conjured up in the toxic mind hive of Trump & House GOP leadership.

Republicans keep brainwashing people into thinking they do not deserve the basic things in life. A home. Health care. A education and a good job to pay for it. Instead of good plans they come up with good plans to blame the next guy for the mess they enable.

Where is all the outrage now, MAGA? A judge's house was burned down in what will probably be determined as an act of political violence. Or doesn't it matter since it was a Dem? (P.S. I know the answer to this- you don't care because it wasn't your "messiah") So much noise after CK, crickets now.

The sheer AUDACITY of the right preaching about how the left must feel about CK while they gleefully cheer when children are removed from their homes in zip ties... The hypocrisy is staggering.

This will also impact research. Many studies have investigational product created overseas and imported for US trials/sites. It will hugely impact how companies move forward with treatments for cancer, serious illness, etc. Americans health is about to go back to the dark ages.
