A rambling and incoherent Trump wants to turn DC into his personal police state despite a 30-year low in crime.

He's a pathetic wannabe dictator who wants to distract you from his connection to the Epstein files, skyrocketing costs, and his weak job numbers.

Don't let him.

Severe malnutrition among under-5s in Gaza City has tripled in two weeks, charity says

MSF says number of people needing care for malnutrition has quadrupled since May and blames Israeli ‘policy of starvation’ * Middle East crisis – live updates The medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has said that rates of severe malnutrition among children under five at its Gaza City clinic have tripled in the last two weeks as starvation in the Israeli-besieged strip worsens. The global aid community has sounded the alarm as Gaza descends deeper into mass starvation, with daily deaths from starvation reported as Israel allows only a trickle of aid into the territory.

Emil Bove's disdain for the rule of law is so absurdly apparent to anyone who isn't afraid of Donald Trump.

This is a guy who said "F**ck" court orders.

He should be nowhere near a lifetime appointment as a circuit court judge. I will be voting NO on his confirmation.

Donald Trump has nominated his former personal defense attorney, Emil Bove, to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals—one of the most powerful courts in the country. The nomination is being called a “turn...

Despite the Trump administration's best efforts, the vast majority of people know the truth: Immigrants make our communities stronger.

Poll finds record high share of Americans view immigration positively

In a Gallup survey, 79 percent of Americans called immigration a “good thing” for the country. The finding comes as Trump pledges to carry out the largest mass deportation program in U.S. history.

OK, Secretary Noem, then show us the receipts that you extended those contracts.

Turn over documents detailing exactly when you renewed those contracts.

There needs to be bipartisan oversight and Congressional hearings over these truly unacceptable failures.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · Jul 13

WELKER: The NYT is reporting that thousands of calls from flood victims to FEMA calls centers went unanswered in the middle of this ongoing disaster because you didn't renew contracts to keep call center staff in place until nearly a week after the floods.

NOEM: False reporting. Fake news.

The DOGE cuts Trump wants are nothing compared to the tsunami of spending & tax giveaways Republicans just passed.

You could cut EVERY single penny the US has spent on foreign assistance since WWII, and it STILL would not add up to the cost of Trump's Big Ugly bill.

We invest abroad because it's the SMART thing to do for America. But it's WORTH saying it's the RIGHT thing to do as well.

It's WRONG to shell out trillions for billionaires, only to say less than a penny a day is too expensive to protect hundreds of thousands of little girls from HIV.

President Trump is now asking Republicans in Congress to rubberstamp Elon's DOGE cuts and rip up bipartisan spending deals.

Every Senator should vote NO and reject Trump’s request to cut off local news broadcasts and weaken our national security.

Republican agenda for this week? Slashing funding for rural radio & aid to stop epidemics around the world.

We're talking about less than 0.14% of the federal budget, by the way.

Apparently, we had enough to spend trillions on tax giveaways for billionaires, but PBS is just too much.

"Mario" sent this from WA where they were harvesting cherries. The high temps that day reached 93°. They were working piece rate which meant they we're working as fast as they possibly could to make a couple of extra dollars. #WeFeedYou

A record-high 79% of U.S. adults say immigration is a good thing for the country, according to a new Gallup poll.

The same poll finds many more Americans disapproving than approving of President Donald Trump’s handling of immigration.
