If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Trump promised no “new stupid wars,” yet he’s starting one with Venezuela without congressional approval.
People can’t afford groceries and millions are losing healthcare, but this is where his focus is.
This is unconstitutional and not what the American people asked for.

‘Cancel’ comes from a Latin word meaning “to make like a lattice.”
When people needed to annul or void a document, they sometimes would mark it with crosshatches
XXXXX
which resembled a lattice.
So the document became ‘canceled.’
...we hope this post doesn’t get us that.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Donald Trump should visit every congressional district.
He can talk about how he’s focused on renaming the Kennedy Center after himself, instead of stopping huge increases in healthcare costs, which he could easily do by extending ACA tax credits.

We now have a bipartisan majority of members of Congress demanding a vote to extend ACA tax credits and keep health care affordable for all Americans.
Speaker Johnson, bring this legislation to the House Floor immediately or step out of the way.

Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs on day one—and as we can see, that was a lie. Prices shot up, and health care will spike again because they refuse to extend the ACA credits.
Now they claim “affordability” is a con job. Since when is feeding your family or seeing a doctor a scam?

According to a new Economist/YouGov poll, Trump's approval rating is underwater in the majority of states — including 20 states he won last year.
He's flailing on the economy and his party's odds for 2026 are crumbling.
Do not let him convince you he is all powerful.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.
