Trump, a petty poor-excuse for a man, can't move beyond politics and actually govern. Started a war with Iran he can't get us out of. Now has paused sanctions on fellow war-monger Putin to buy diesel from Russia, totally dismissive of Ukraine and democracy. Blood money every which way he turns.

Trump has denied disaster relief for Illinois following severe storms in August. Trump approved a request from Indiana for damage resulting from the same storms. One is a "blue state." The other is a "red state." No other president has politicized natural disasters the way that Trump has.

Yes! I don't know why it wasn't called out before the 2024 election. I was hoping there would be arrests at the Inauguration.

And the deplorables voted for him anyway.

JD Vance is sizing up a $9 million Virginia estate while preaching to the rest of us that housing is more affordable than ever. No one believes him.

Amen.

Trump said he would start paying for the political TV ads himself, but the White House clarified that he won’t pay back the federal government for what’s already been spent. About $11.5 million had already been spent airing the ads as of midday Tuesday, October 6th.

Who you gonna believe, the lying liar or your own eyes? 👀

Donald Trump’s remarks were dangerous — if not treasonous — putting a target on two of our biggest cities and one of America’s largest naval hubs.

This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.

This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

He simply must be removed from office as any other President would have been if they had uttered these words. "A small price to pay" means he is willing to let 15 million Americans be murdered and he thinks it is acceptable. The fact that those people clapped when he said that makes me sick.

This is from a now not-anonymous woman who was a child when Trumpy told her he would kill her and her family if she ever said anything. Toady Blanche is making sure all the girls (now women) he assaulted don't talk. ut those of us who are paying attention 100% know what Trumpy did to so many kids.

Pay teachers a fair wage. Pay paraprofessionals who help support our kids a fair wage. Make sure our schools are safe, clean, warm, and dry.

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

FFS… Is it really an accident anymore at this point?

"The role of a president is to protect the country, not to actively threaten it and encourage attacks on American lives."

'Deranged and Dangerous' Trump Decried for Inviting Iran to 'Take Out' California Cities

San Diego's mayor and other Democratic leaders are outraged after Trump suggested Iran could attack their city. Gas prices are high, troops are being sent to the Middle East, and Trump's comments are sparking calls for the 25th amendment.

Ever the lackey, Kash Patel takes his marching orders from the White House, and those orders include trying to investigate and prosecute an imaginary grand conspiracy against the President. Restoring trust in the DOJ and FBI will take years.

The status quo is not enough.

Israeli forces opened fire on refugees in Jabalia refugee camp. Casualty figures are currently unknown, as Israeli forces opened fire on rescuers.
