BREAKING NEWS: Every Republican Senator just signed off on the DOGE destruction of Social Security!

Frank Bisignano has spent the last few months helping Donald Trump and Elon Musk take a chainsaw to Social Security.

Shame on these Senators for being complicit in the attacks on Social Security.

And we are surprised? Horrified, yes.
Trump appears to have relied on a deluded conspiracy theorist for advice on national security. A loopy influencer has carried more weight with the president than a four-star general, writes @arusbridger.bsky.social.

At least 21 were killed in a Russian attack on the northeastern city of Sumy Oblast on Palm Sunday. At least 83 were injured, including seven children, Ukraine’s Emergency Services reported.

Mike Johnson is threatening to with hold pay from any Judge that tries to enforce the law. He is the Speaker of the House. Trump, Vance, Musk and Johnson are now working to undermine the judicial system in the U.S. President, Vice President, Speaker of the House, working to undermine the judicial.
“We do have authority over the Federal Courts. We can eliminate an entire district court. Desperate times call for desperate measures and Congress is going to act. So, stay tuned for that”

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.

It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

If one of us stands up, they can pick that person off. If ten or a hundred or a thousand, they can pick those people off. And they're picking off people--immigrants, dissidents--to make an example of them. But if ten million people stand up, they cannot stop us all.

Trump is doing exactly what he said he was going to do. He’s doing it more chaotically and more quickly and more thoroughly than imagined, but no one should be surprised at all who was paying attention. The fact the business community got played is a sign of their own poor political analysis.
“.. At the end of last year, the attitude was, ‘Full on, this is going to be an exceptionally pro-growth agenda and it will be executed in a clear way.’ All of that has gone in reverse.”

Nobody should be burning Tesla dealerships, but I’d like to see the Trump Administration tackle school shootings with the same urgency they’ve shown defending Musk.

The government should be working for the betterment of all Americans, not just Trump’s billionaire buddies.

Think it’s important to highlight how everyday violence of the U.S. criminal legal system is making what ICE is doing possible: this man was convicted of a crime at *16*; he was *pardoned*; when ICE came decades later they claimed the conviction made him a felon w/ no recourse against deportation
Rodney Taylor is a beloved Georgia barber who came to the United States from Liberia with his mother when he was only two years old. He applied for citizenship but was denied. But this year, ICE arrested him, locked him up, and has scheduled him to be deported to a faraway country he's never known.
