The President of the United States thinks a test for dementia is an IQ test, and none of his sycophants will tell him he’s wrong.
Let that sink in.

Basically all US policy is at this point about indulging Trump’s irrational obsessions, petty grudges, and corrupt grifts, and then taking secondary and tertiary measures to mask the consequences of those policies.
lol, great, so we're now subsidizing Argentine ranchers at the expense of American ranchers. Seems politically sustainable, no questions from me.

“We haven’t even started yet.”
We cannot let it become normalized.
Trump is doing whatever he wants with the most powerful military the world has ever known.
Nothing is stopping him. And he wants to do much more.
This is the most important political story in America. And maybe in the world. 🚨🇺🇸

Trump to generals: "Last month, I signed an executive order to provide training for a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances. This is gonna be a big thing for the people in this room, because it's the enemy from within & we have to handle it before it gets out of control"

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income.
A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income.
Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

BREAKING: Trump's head of Social Security says raising the retirement age "will be considered."
That's a betrayal of Trump's campaign promise to protect Social Security.

Both Israel and Russia put their weight behind getting Donald Trump into power. It’s not just Netanyahu and Putin but their overlapping cabal of regressive oligarchs, fascists, and criminals. That’s why both are engaged in genocide & conquest shielded by their collaborators across the US and EU.

This is a HUGE scandal.
Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud.
Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%.
Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.

No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is. Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong.

It used to be clear that Democrats stood on the side of working people.
Then they started chasing the “center.”
Today’s Democratic establishment leaders have brought the party — and the country — down with them.

The Failures of “Centrism”
By moving to the so-called “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Watch.
