Corrections departments are increasingly trying to use "gag rules" to forbid staff from interviews with journalists without approval – what would a system centered around "justice" need to hide? 🤔

This Administration should celebrate the Army’s 250th Birthday by honoring past & present soldiers & reinstating thousands of vets fired from the federal workforce. Spend millions on rehiring heroes, not an extravagant military parade—on Trump’s birthday.

Trump may reorganize agencies within the law, but his sweeping cuts to national security defies 2,000 years of great powers using deterrence and diplomacy to manage threats.

Trump said screw everyone that fought in the pacific theatre against imperial Japan. US victory in World War II happened on August 15, 1945 when Japan surrendered. Not May 8th.
Also, "nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance" what, lol ????

We've learned the Trump Administration has ILLEGALLY withheld over $430B in funds approved by Congress — gutting vital services including child care, disaster relief and more.
The courts must continue to hold this lawless president accountable, even if spineless congressional Republicans won't.
