HERE'S THE REALITY
"If you look at affordability, which [Democrats] campaigned on, they lied," Trump said.

One of the reasons most of Trump’s tariff deals went south is because he thought he was going to get the entire world to exclusively negotiate with only him and his rich friends at Mar-a-Lago, but most countries said… no. Where’s the money, Donny?

He tried to overthrow an American election. He committed crimes trying to overthrow an American election. And the American people put him back in power. And now he’s pardoned all of his co-conspirators, all those who helped him try to overthrow the election.
America is not okay.

BREAKING: Trump just issued a blanket pardon for 79 individuals related to the 2020 fake electors scheme, to try and rig the election.
NOTE: He can’t pardon State crimes even if he thinks he can. He’s clearly trying to normalize election rigging for 2026.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Maybe if people think the Democratic Party is "weak" it is not because they think that Democrats "care about other people" but that they "fold every single time."
This shit is why people don’t trust the Democratic Party.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting
