Yes, actually, this IS what you voted for.
The co-founder of Latinas for Trump is now condemning Trump’s ICE raids:
“I’m afraid of someone stopping my son.”
“This is not what we voted for.”

BREAKING: The CA Senate advanced a key mechanism for gov accountability: the No Kings Act. We’re proud to partner with @scottwiener.bsky.social on this bill asserting that if any gov officer - local, state, or *fed* - violates your clearly established constitutional rights, you should have a remedy.

Usha Vance announced that she is expecting their fourth child and praised military doctors for the world class healthcare she's receiving.
The disgusting hypocrisy of course is that while she praises world class government healthcare, her husband is fighting to gut healthcare from tens of millions.

Trump now claims that the UN and NATO are the real threat, not Russia or China. So when Trump says we need Greenland to maintain peace, one has to wonder, peace with who?
MAGA supporters, how far are you willing to go? How far before you can no longer be redeemed?

I used to wonder how German citizens, most of whom were "Christian," could have stood by while their government annexed Austria in 1938. Now I can look at the MAGA cult, most of whom are "Christian," supporting the annexation of Greenland, and it's all very clear.

I can't imagine how morally bankrupt, how absolutely dead inside someone has to be to support what ICE is doing right now.

The people who defended Musk's heil are awfully silent about his recent "White solidarity is the only way to survive" comment... Notice how they'll speak out to defend, but close their eyes and ears when they can't muster a defense. It's moral bankruptcy, or at best moral cowardice.

The reason Elon’s apologists won’t confront his racism, is because that would mean confronting the racism within themselves.

The official White House website, has gone full 1984 on Jan 6. We're watching history be rewritten in real time. There are conservatives I talked to back on Jan 6 who supported Trump, but were against the riot, but they now accept the new version of reality that's been written for them. Shameful.

Conservatives really got duped by a guy with a brain worm. Are we MAHA yet?
The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

A few notes to explain why Trump is "supporting" the release of the Epstein files after spending 10 months playing games.
1) He's saving face. It's estimated about 100 House reps planned to break with the president on the vote, so he doesn't want to be seen as not in control.

We always wondered if there was a bridge too far for the cult of Trump - if there was any depth of depravity he could sink to that would shake their allegiance. We always knew the answer. Now his supporters know, too. They have to live with that.
