Stephen Miller wants to spend $17 billion deporting 1 million immigrants, who currently contribute $89 billion in taxes a year. Do the math: that’s a $106B net loss for America.

With trump making deportations the norm, jacking up fees on visitors, and putting himself at the helm of the Olympics, it’s hard to see the U.S. as a welcoming host. Move the games!

Fact: In 2021, every single Republican in Congress voted against a bill to end gerrymandering. Every Democrat voted for it. If you want fair elections, remember who stood in the way of reform.

Texas Democrats left the state to protect voting rights for 8 million people.
Republicans are fleeing Congress to avoid answering for trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The two parties are not the same.

In Gavin Newson‘s recent comments about redistricting, he said a phrase I’ve been waiting to hear from a Democrat for 10 years; we are going to fight fire with fire! 🔥

Let me get this straight—the people pushing child marriage laws and forcing minors to carry assault pregnancies to term are also defending Trump and Epstein’s history with underage girls? Can’t make this up.

Now serving the Trump Taco: we 86’d the beef so it’s all chicken with a wall of lettuce that falls apart, white cheese and a single tiny mushroom. Served in a floppy orange shell sprinkled with Cheeto dust & a “covfefe” dip -all for just $0.47! 🌮🐔

Watching RFK Jr. scrap a $600 million Moderna contract for pandemic and vaccine research feels eerily similar to when Trump dismantled Obama’s pandemic preparedness. We didn’t learn a damn thing from Covid, did we?

Kristi Noem is in Poland right now, openly stumping for Trump-backed nationalist Karol Nawrocki at CPAC. U.S. officials meddling in foreign elections to boost far-right candidates, because fascists are gonna fascist.

Elon Musk is officially out of DOGE. It might look like he failed since he didn’t save us any money, find waste, or uncover fraud, but his true goal was in data mining and on that front, he made out like a bandit.

Jake Tapper is now calling Joe Biden’s mental decline “worse than Watergate.” If he was an actual journalist he would be reporting how Trump is committing crimes worse than Watergate every single day.

Call me a radical, but I would rather keep programs like meals on wheels going rather than spending millions on a military parade for a draft dodging president.

Bezos killed the Post’s Kamala endorsement and caved on tariffs as soon as Trump commented. Imagine being that rich and still being such a sniveling coward.

It’s hilarious maga says stuff like, “You’d still hate trump if he cured cancer” while trump is literally canceling $ for cancer research.

Not me being jealous that Canada just elected Mr. Rogers to run their country while we are here stuck with Biff Tannen from Back to The Future II.

So the same short fingered vulgarian, who gave Zelensky endless grief for not wearing a suit to the oval office, couldn’t be bothered to wear a black suit and tie to the friggin’ Popes funeral on the world stage for all to see?
