Donald Trump issued a rambling Truth Social screed at “Caitlin Collin’s” where he ranted about his ballroom dimensions and CNN’s ratings. Here’s why Democrats need to disavow polarizing figures like Zohran Mamdani.

AOC: Trump is less popular than ever. He is underwater on virtually every issue. If you oppose and are disgusted by what this admin is doing, you are in company of majority of Americans. You are not alone.

More people disapprove and are opposed to Trump than in support. Those are the numbers."

Video evidence shows that the ambushed Venezuelan boaters had several minutes to connect to the internet, purchase $TRUMP crypto, and post their receipt on Truth Social before the second strike. They chose their own fate.

You can feel it. The silence is loud.

The President of the United States calls female reporters ugly, and people garbage, and you look the other way.

We see your silence.

Thank you for letting us know who you really are.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

It’s not about information, it’s about identity.

It’s not “misinformation”, it’s propaganda.

The bullshit machine is well-funded & understands the value of networked amplification.

As long as there’s no personal cost to lying or holding false belief, they will.

Whether it’s stating the basic truth on the President’s health, correcting RFK’s immoral nonsense on childhood vaccines, and holding their cast of “experts” to account, the time is now to stand up for the medical profession.

Ahead of launching a war on Venezuela, the US would like to announce that no one in Venezuela should help US forces, it'd be stupid to do so, the US will denigrate you and screw you over no matter how much you help, and blame you if even one Venezuelan who also helped the US ever does something bad.
