We are ONLY here because Republicans care more about money, power and cruelty than America.

The GOP let Drumpf into the party with no rules and bent the knee to a bully excusing every bad thing and never holding him accountable.

The next years are ALL on Republicans who sold America. 🤬🤬😪💔

It's more of a slow burn relative to everything else going on, but the fact that federal law enforcement for everything other than the immigration thuggery has effectively stopped is going to have consequences.

Here’s an explainer on just one of the many neglected investigations sacrificed for the sake of Trump’s cruel immigration crackdown I did for @theunpopulist.net.

Fun fact:
Every government shutdown in the last 30 years occurred when Republicans had control of the House of

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.

'Use every avenue you can': Trump ally says GOP may do something 7 in 10 Americans oppose

MSNBC producer Steve Benen said impeaching judges who make President Donald Trump unhappy is apparently back on the menu for MAGA Republicans.“While there was quite a bit of talk in Republican circles...

Where's MSNBC? NBC? CBS? Don't any of them want to cover what's happening to the troops that Trump claims to care about? Is this how you treat your warriors? Shouldn't they deserve the best? Trump doesn't give a shit!

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.

And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

The people who voted for Trump didn’t think they were driving a truck over a street full of people, but in effect they were. Many, many Americans will die because of the Trump regime’s destruction of our public health system.

REMINDER the President works FOR US!

Being GLEEFUL about the pain he is causing is truly traitorous!

His whole admin just wants people to die while they watch.
A lot will be the morons who voted FOR HIM!

Republicans care about nothing.
No integrity, No morals, No Souls
