They hate the Bill of Rights because freedom is a threat to people in government who want to hide the truth about what they are doing from the American people. So they behave like tyrants because that is what they are. Vote this party out of power.
The President says he is going to ban CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House. He’s trampling on our Constitution and the freedom of the press. His corruption is staggering–and his attempts to cover it up won’t work.
Maybe the most important political story of our time. People just want the bullshit to stop.

Apparently it is of no concern to any Republicans that Trump and Bessent are taking in billions of dollars from plundered Venezuelan oil and nobody knows where the money is, where is has been going, if anyone is getting proceeds, with no accounting of any of it made available.

Something weirdly not noted in a lot of the coverage of the extortionate threats to murder the Kennedy Center unless it’s reimagined as a shrine to Trump: There was no dire fiscal crisis until Trump’s goombahs started mucking with it. Its finances were fine. projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/o...

“It’s not that I wouldn’t cheat” is an incredible thing for a president to say
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7d agoTrump: "I was playing golf and we had hundreds of Secret Service all over the course. In fact, they said, 'Does Trump cheat?' I can't cheat. You have 250 Secret Service agents running down. It's not that I wouldn't cheat, but you can't move the ball."
After Pretti was killed, Savageford, who is Asian-American, said she was taken to a warehouse near the Whipple detention center where immigrants were being detained. She was strip-searched, including by male agents who Cook told HuffPost on Friday were “touching her privates.”

Trump appears to struggle staying awake at today’s 9/11 Pentagon remembrance event. In the words of Mike Johnson last night at the RNC, “The President doesn’t sleep and we don’t either.”
Remember this is the law and order party. Ross Ulbricht is a convicted felon and the owner-operator of Silk Road, an online marketplace that facilitated the trade in narcotics and other illegal products and services. Trump pardoned him after he made substantial donations to MAGA.
Look at this loathsome repulsive creature yelling at a reporter. In addition to the fact that he’s the worst president in US history, he’s one of the worst human beings on planet earth. His supporters have a very serious defect in their character.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Q: On the checks, we have $40t in debt. If your economic policies are working, why do you need an incentive for people to turn out to vote? T: I'm doing it as a reward for having to put up w/Biden Q: You also offered tariff refunds-- TRUMP: Not you Q: And that didn't happen T: You're the worst
