JD Vance is backing a Supreme Court case to finish what Citizens United started — letting billionaires buy elections. The right’s 50-year plan to legalize corruption is nearly complete. If it wins, democracy’s done.

Roger Stone thinks Maria Corina Machado should give her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump.
The man who tried to overturn an election now wants to rewrite global honors.
The cult isn’t even pretending anymore — they want the world to kneel.

A “new” crypto account opens 30 minutes before Trump’s China tariff announcement. Bets against Bitcoin. Walks away $192 million richer. Then vanishes.
Insider trading isn’t just happening on Wall Street anymore — it’s in the White House.

Trump just handed $20 billion to prop up Argentina’s currency — while Americans are drowning in rent, groceries, and gas. His “America First” government can’t even keep its own people fed, but it’s bailing out his libertarian buddy. #TrumpFail #AmericaLast

Something’s changed. Americans who once tuned out politics can’t ignore it now. They see Trump ordering troops into cities, jailing opponents, silencing critics. It’s not left vs right anymore — it’s democracy vs dictatorship. #TheBigReveal #Resist #StandUp

“Trump’s doctor says he’s in ‘exceptional health’ with a heart ‘14 years younger’ than his age. Right — this from the same guy with leg swelling, bruising, and chronic venous issues. Spin doctors working harder than the medical ones. #Trump #HealthTheatre #Politics”

Trump says Portland is “burning down” and store owners now “build with plywood.”
Locals point to the Louis Vuitton store downtown.
Delusion meets reality.

Trump’s own Labor Dept just admitted his immigration crackdown is threatening America’s food supply. Turns out demonizing the workers who feed the nation comes with a price — higher food costs and empty shelves. #TrumpFailure #Immigration #USPolitics

Trump bragged that his drug deal would cut prices by “1,000%.” For the record, that means drug companies would pay you 10× the drug’s value to take it. This isn’t policy—it’s incoherence in real time. #Trump #MAGA #Politics #USpol #Democracy

Funny how “fiscal conservatives” can find billions for jets, wars, and useless pet projects—but not a cent to keep farmers afloat or release the Epstein files. MAGA isn’t conservative. It’s corrupt. #MAGA #GOP #Corruption #Accountability

Trump sold off American airspace like it’s a condo at Mar-a-Lago. Now Qatari pilots will be flying U.S. skies — proof that “America First” was always a scam. Loyalty to cash, not country. 🇶🇦💰🇺🇸

MAGA’s eating itself alive.
Even Laura Loomer — Trump’s self-proclaimed “whisperer” — is warning of “deliberate sabotage” from within.
When the movement turns on its own, it’s not a revolution. It’s collapse.

'GOP will struggle': Trump ally panics over 'deliberate sabotage of MAGA' from within

A controversial Donald Trump ally is sounding the alarm, warning on Friday about a "deliberate sabotage of MAGA."MAGA activist Laura Loomer, who has the ear of the president and has been dubbed the Tr...

Trump’s power grab isn’t just about laws—it’s about control. He’s betting America will bow to inevitability. The antidote? Solidarity. Stand together, even when we disagree, or risk letting one man turn democracy into obedience. #Democracy #Resist #TrumpCoup #USPolitics

Trump accidentally posted what was meant to be a secret DM to his AG on Truth Social — leading to an actual prosecution. State business by DM on his own app. Beyond corrupt. Beyond stupid. #Trump #Corruption #PresidentialRecordsAct

Trump’s “university deal” is straight-up authoritarian blackmail — Orbán with a tan. He’s testing how much freedom Americans will trade for fear. Don’t flinch. Don’t comply. Stand the hell up. #TrumpRegime #DemocracyUnderAttack #ResistAuthoritarianism #SaveDemocracy

Trump is turning off America’s lights — firing data officials, halting climate, poverty & health reporting. When you kill the facts, you kill accountability. Authoritarians thrive in the dark. #TrumpDictatorship #DataBlackout #AmericanCrisis #DemocracyUnderSiege

Everything costs more — food, clothes, power, rent. Trump’s “great economy” is just pain disguised as pride. He broke trade, fed corporate greed, and left Americans paying the bill.
Now ordinary Americans are paying the price

Stephen Miller isn’t warning about terrorism — he’s blueprinting it
When fascists start calling dissent “left-wing terror” and talk about using “state power” as the cure, they’re not defending America
They’re declaring war on Americans

Mike Johnson is blocking Adelita Grijalva’s swearing-in — denying Arizona voters their voice — just to bury the Epstein files. The GOP’s cover-up of elite predators now extends to sabotaging democracy itself. Absolutely pathetic. #EpsteinFiles #AZ07 #GOPCorruption

Trump’s White House is reportedly exploring ways to deny 750,000 federal workers their pay during the shutdown — despite a law guaranteeing it. No empathy. No integrity. Just cruelty as policy. #TrumpShutdown #AuthoritarianAmerica #Corruption #CrueltyIsThePoint

Even the Wall Street Journal admits it: Trump’s trade war is a “self-destructive folly.” A $10B bailout to fix the crisis he caused. His tariffs didn’t make America richer — they made farmers beg for relief. #TrumpFailure #TariffFolly #MAGAcrash
