Take Trump literally and seriously. Banish into the sun all the hacks who told us we were being hysterical & radical. Ignore them forever.
This is a white nationalist regime in service of an international broligarchy that won't stop until it drinks all our milkshakes.
Venezuela was the start...

That’s right, Congress. Keep letting him do anything he wants, unchecked. Keep showing the country (and the world) what total feckless pussies you are. Well done.

This is the false @nytimes.com front page framing, but all media piled on.
The reason health care premiums will crush Americans is not “deadlock;” it’s Republican opposition to extending subsidies.
The both-sides narrative isn’t objective; it’s partisan, Joe.

In his rationale dismissing the Georgia January 6 case, Peter Skandalakis misrepresents what Jack Smith said about the evidence against Donald Trump.

AOC has said this about Marjorie Taylor Greene retiring:
"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office. "

Could the Epstein Files kerfuffle take down Trump? Sure, maybe. Which could end up with Russell Vought and Steve Miller transferring allegiance to a MJT or Tucker Carlson or whomever. Don't take your eye off the big picture. It's the fascism, stupid.

As a hedge fund owner, Scott Bessent avoided over $900K in Medicare taxes by exploiting a major loophole.
As Treasury Secretary, he now oversees the IRS — which has backed away from closing the loophole since Trump took office.

This is not hard, people. Except for most media people.
What is happening now is a direct result of Trump's racist hatred for our first Black president, empowered by a society that normalized that hatred, refused to call it racism, ruffled the racist's hair on national TV, and behaved as though racist hatred is an acceptable basis for leadership.

Trump is refusing to use contingency funds to fund SNAP — even though his own administration’s guidance said he had the legal authority to do so.
But he’ll find a way to bail out Argentina, conduct extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean, and build a vanity ballroom.

Remember the first few months of this year, when all we talked about was DOGE and spending cuts and waste, and this administration gutted USAID?
And now they’re giving $40 billion (!) to Argentina.
Insane the amount of amnesia in this country and in our politics and media.
