A Very Cynical Plan:

1. Lie about Antifa being real & powerful.

2. Lie about nonexistent "riots" in peaceful Democrat cities.

3. Lie that Jan 6 goons playing dress-up as ICE are sent to stop riots when they are going to start them.

4. Lie about who is funding Antifa so you can shut them down.

The Qatari Airbase deal is going to be a harsh lesson to Donald on the downside of stoking the fires of xenophobia and hatred of Muslims with MAGA bigots.

2017 TRUMP: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

2025 TRUMP: “Thank you, Qatar, for my free $400,000,000 personal jet!”

TRUMP, a few months later: “I'm letting Qatar be the first foreign nation to build a military base on US soil.”

The US has finalized its $20 billion bailout for Argentina, a main US competitor in the soybean market.

This is a move that will only further screw over American soybean farmers, who're being priced out of their own market.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Both Donald Trump and his Slovene-born escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I am calling for Melania Trump’s legal immigration papers: How did she get an “Einstein” visa for extraordinary abilities despite her blatant lie under oath about her college degrees?

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.
