Nobody, I repeat…nobody should be surprised by this. Steve Witkoff works for Donald Trump. Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. So of course Witkoff works for Putin as well. It’s despicable, it’s traitorous, but it sure the hell isn’t surprising.

The only reason to remove the college degree requirement for FBI agents is to get more yes men. More people who follow Trump instead of the law and the evidence. Fewer willing to take on crypto schemes and other corruption in Trump world.

What Trump/Texas just did will lead to the death of representative democracy. They’ve opened the door to gerrymandering every 2yrs, b4 any election. And when that happens, Americans will no longer believe their representation is legitimate. And representative democracy will die.

Everything Trump is doing is aimed at making it harder for Democrats to vote and easier for Republicans to cheat. But we are going to fight like hell in court and we will win.

Republicans are putting 17 million lives at risk in their “Big Beautiful Bill.”
These are more than just numbers. These are real people who deserve to live a life without worrying they will go broke if they need health care.

Facts…again.
History teaches us something critical that all the propaganda desperately doesn't want us to understand. Small acts of decency, courage and kindness have unknowable but sometimes massive ripple effects. So much of fighting fascism is literally just not being a cunt.
