Unabashedly progressive. Happily married. Proud father of two amazing and successful kids. Frightened by what is happening in our country and the world. No DMs please.
Or, let's frame it this way. SNAP is a bailout of the poor and hungry the way Trump is trying to bail out farmers.

This nonsense from Trump is designed to keep his shrinking base of support from further erosion, and not to convince those of us who are to the left of Attila the Hun that Trump is right or good. He'll never convince us and let's hope his rantings are increasingly ineffective on the MAGA world.

Perhaps we, on the Progressive front, need to frame things differently. It's not support or assistance that the poor and hungry get. It's a bailout for the results of GOP policies.

Perhaps the newly enlarged House could hold session in the soon to be completed White House Ballroom? 🤣

This is the result of hiring thugs and telling them to haul people in without warrants or procedural safeguards.

ICE = Gestapo

If Russia wins, it is solely because the USA, under Trump, walks away from Ukraine. This would be heartbreaking, disgusting, and a capitulation to Russia.

If someone were to post how to submit such tips, we could all start reporting people like Patel, Bondi, Kushner, Hegseth, etc.

I stand corrected!

How quickly the world forgets.

Trump's ICE and its Gestapo-like behavior demonstrates the American educational system has failed to teach history successfully.

Trump is always about self-enrichment first, cronism second, and corruption third.

Trump and his family are always chasing their next illicitly gained dollar

It is all about where Trump can make more money. FOLLOW.THE.MONEY

Trump's likely to only prop up regimes that pay him, personally, money and homage, or maybe just money.
