Trump just suspended enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a key anti-bribery law signed by Carter in 1977. For 50 years, it stopped corporations from bribing foreign officials. Now, Trump is letting corruption run wild.

2025 The media is being sued and barred from the White House.

But when you give a feast, invite the POOR, the CRIPPLED, the LAME, the BLIND, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you.
The red letters did not say: let the poor starve, let the disabled suffer because they are considered to you unworthy.
Christians- CAN YOU SEE THOSE RED LETTERS?

Amid all the crazy shit that is happening. For me, the two things keeping me up at night are:
1) The thought of my daughters being reduced to baby making machines, getting the hell beat out of them with no way to legally leave.
2) The two genocides our government seems hellbent on doing.

I’m curious which particular brand of Christianity the Office of Faith is going to be protecting. Because we know protection for religion doesn’t actually mean all religions. Likely it doesn’t mean all Christian religions either 🤔

Every senate confirmation…. we will uphold the law, we will follow the law.
Knowing damn well Project 2025 intends to take away the power from the Congress and redistributing it to the President.
Effectively changing the law!
Congress, have fun continuing your career without ANY power!

What is this nonexistent golden age of America?
A time when less than 50% of the population had all the rights?
Likely, they are moving toward the 1780s when only a select few were valued to have rights.
Project 2025 is moving full steam ahead. Hope you enjoyed voting when you had the chance.

AH came in to power on Jan 30, 1933.
The first concentration camp was established on March 22, 1933.
We just flew the first plane to Guantanamo.
This dictatorship is moving twice as fast as the German one.
The plane was not full of people to be housed and then returned to their own countries.
