The US has become monsters
These were people already approved to be naturalized, yet they were stopped solely because of their countries of origin. MAGA keeps saying, “If they wanted to be in this country, they should have done it the right way.” Well, they did. And the administration still blocked them. Cruelty is the point.

Important to notice: killing random people at sea has a purpose: desensitize the electorate to the dictator killing people. Which can then turn into normalizing threats to kill political opponents, which then leads to actual political executions.

Hegseth said yesterday he wants to ban any symbols of “superficial individual expression” by people serving in the military. Of course, he was probably talking about dangerous things like rainbows.

This still pisses me off. Why did no one save US AID ??? People are dying because of this loss. I will never forgive.
Why hasn’t a philanthropic billionaire (yes there are a few of them) swooped in to take over this important organization??
The Trump administration informed Congress on Friday of its plan to eliminate nearly all remaining positions at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and close the agency entirely — a major shift that would end over six decades of humanitarian and development work.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House.
If the government shuts down, it's because Republicans chose to shut it down rather than work with Democrats to pass a responsible budget.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Liars. Everyone in this administration is a flat out conman liar. And we will all suffer for it. If not today, then in 2, 5, 10, or even 20 years. 🔥
RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.
So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

Trump and his enablers have no problem with welfare for corporations and the rich.
But when it comes to vital programs that help millions, they're suddenly concerned about the deficit.
Don't be fooled. They believe in socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.
