WTF? Trump is now threatening the American people. He warned protesters to stay away from his birthday/military parade in D.C. this Saturday, claiming anyone who shows up to protest “hates our country” and will be met with “very heavy force.” This is authoritarian behavior, plain and simple.

Jasmine Crockett is right. Republicans killed the border bill and somehow get away with blaming democrats. Stop spreading Putins lies and get something done House GOP. You are worthless!

SCOTUS just gave the Trump admin the green light to deport 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua & Venezuela.

These people entered LEGALLY under Biden’s humanitarian parole.

This isn’t about “illegal immigration”— in Trump’s own words, this is about ethnic cleansing.

The woman who was not laid off by DOGE and has medical insurance paid for by taxpayers wants you to get over the fact that people are going to die when they are kicked off Medicaid.

Republican elected officials have forgotten they work for their constituents.

What could possibly go wrong?! Ugggg
It takes several months to complete the FAA Academy and two to four years of on-the-job training to become a certified air traffic controller, but don’t worry, the ones Elon’s DOGEbags want fired will be replaced with “geniuses from M.I.T.”

So this is fine.
Everything is fine.

House Republicans just took the first step towards passing their plans to cut health care and hike the cost of groceries for millions of people.

Why? To pay for tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations.

Working people won't forget this. We need to fight back.
