Yikes. He shared it himself not long ago… and already forgot… Trump now claims he “had nothing to do with” a depiction of himself as the pope, even though it was just posted on his and the White House’s accounts. It was offensive, un-American, and disgraceful and that’s putting it mildly.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

REMINDER: Trump is ignoring a Supreme Court order to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home. The leader of the GOP even admitted that he could do it with one call and still hasn’t. Make sure your Members of Congress hear from you about this attack on our Constitutional rights: act.indivisible.org/...

We chose ActBlue as our donation processor because they follow all the rules and have systems in place to prevent fraudulent donations, like requiring donors to affirm US citizenship/residency.

Trump knows he can’t outlaw his opposition, so he’s trying to kneecap it by cutting off its funding.
