This is the right answer. I will never stop standing up for my trans brothers and sisters. And if you want to be mean, you'd better not do it around me! 💯

BREAKING: President Obama issues a stark warning—authoritarianism isn’t creeping anymore, it’s sprinting.

Around the world, leaders are silencing dissent, controlling media, and twisting justice into a political weapon. His message is clear: democracy won’t survive if we stay silent.

That is different from what the admin said. They claimed it was coming out of DOD R&D funds. Tariff money cannot be touched by the Trump Regime without congressional approval.

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Republicans have tried more than 70 times over the past 15 years to weaken or kill Obamacare. But their campaign keeps backfiring -- which is good news for #Florida, which routinely leads the nation in the number of people signing up. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... via @washingtonpost.com

Why Republicans’ attempts to kill Obamacare keep backfiring

The White House and some Republicans are growing nervous that Democrats’ demand to boost Obamacare as part of a government funding bill has salience with voters.

The CDC literally fired its own disease experts by accident—including measles and Ebola teams—and is now scrambling to rehire them. This regime runs the government like it’s pressing CTRL+Z on humanity.
