Did you know that Trump is responsible for 23.4% of the entire national debt?
Did you know Trump has added 2.2 trillion to the national debt since taking office 10 months ago?

people could've had Medicare paying for home health care workers for their aging parents, but they chose the candidate who is appointing a fake tv doctor to take away their aging parents Medicare altogether.

good job, america.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the dignity of the United States military.

That's why the military has the right to refuse illegal orders. Illegal orders could ruin the military.

Trump calls human beings “vermin,” “garbage,” “diseases,” “poison,” and “animals.”

Then, when I rightfully point out that the same dehumanizing language has been used by fascist regimes to justify humanity’s worst atrocities—Republicans lose their minds.

Give me a break.
Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

Trump thinks he will change the narrative by blowing up alleged narco-boats and putting military leaders in lawless positions; forcing Congress to pivot from investigating Epstein's sex trafficking/pedo ring to investigating possible war crimes

Dear House Republicans,

Most of you don’t have a 22-point head start. But definitely keep kissing that orange ass.

Sincerely,

Has anyone seen a technical analysis that describes the very very obvious point that no motorboats from VZ are ever trying to get to the US.

Like that’s not how anything works. Any mariner will tell you the idea of making an 800 nm trip in a small open boat is a complete non-starter.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

I can't get over the fact that they scheduled a televised Cabinet meeting, hyped it as a major event, planned it all out to show how active and in control Trump is ... and then he dozed off in the middle of it. Repeatedly.

The shame pit this idiot has pushed the USA into is bottomless.

I'm old, so I know that I won't live to see the day we climb all the way out.

What did that Rabbi say? "It's not up to you to finish the task, but you are not free to avoid it."

Push on, friends.
Trump: "I took my physical. I got all As. Everything. But they said to me, 'would you like to take a cognitive test?' I said, 'Is it hard?' They said, 'yes.' I said, 'Well, I'm a very smart person. Who was the last president to take one?' 'No president has ever agreed to take one' ... I aced it."
