There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

I think there are a bunch of people who think telling people how to say things is activism. We have to not be so damned precious about the exact words and just start loudly agreeing with each other. Yes - and. Less theatre criticism, more movement building,

Trump says there must be "pain" for Americans in this idiotic trade war of his.

Ask yourself, what pain does TRUMP suffer?

What pain will the billionaire class suffer?

Why is it that when Republicans talk about pain and sacrifice, it's always YOU who suffers for their vision?

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

That's what you can expect from now on. Trump will blame every disaster, every dip in the stock market, every fire, every earthquake, every hurricane, every exploding rocket and jackknifed semi, and every failure of his administration on anyone who is not a straight, white Christian male.
