Trump’s Department of Education

Trump’s botched trade war forced the CBO to spike the deficit by $200B. Relying on illegal mandates while ignoring the national debt is like driving off a cliff and blaming the brakes. Broken. www.crfb.org/blogs/scotus...

The Trump administration split the casualty database to hide the true toll of their Iran war, per AP News. Dividing 18 dead and 624 wounded into separate categories is like cutting a medical bill in half and claiming you're cured. Pure deception. apnews.com/article/iran...

Susan Collins pulls into town in a bus full of her supporters; then they all get off the bus; and then she addresses the folks who were on the bus with her as if they were regular Mainers; and legacy media covers this, pretending it isn't deeply bizarre. (Notice the guys with cameras.) #MEpolitics

Tyson closed its Joslin beef plant with zero notice, killing 2,500 jobs. Trump rewarding corporate giants while they abandon the Midwest is like giving a burglar the keys to the vault. Pure grift. www.farmprogress.com/livestock/ty...

ICYMI — Iran thinks they’re in the driver’s seat, saying they might prolong the war through the rest of Trump's term. “One way is to prolong this war until we get to the next term of the presidency and cause attrition, so that if anyone else wants to attack Iran, they will know there is a cost.”

Intel officials doubted the Iranian missile threat, but Trump smuggled HIMSELF onto a secret jet while leaving staff on the decoy. Staging a dramatic escape over unverified intel is like calling a SWAT team for a spider. Drama Queen 🤴 theater. kvia.com/politics/cnn...

So you’re telling me the Trump administration is treating our troops like suckers and losers? That tracks.

Lawmakers are “concerned” about sailors on the Abraham Lincoln? Sounds like a lot of Susan Collins BS! They have dismantled the VA! Blown through budgets! And ignored troops concerns! But sure they are concerned! 😡

Our soldiers are starving and held without supplies on a Ship?????? WTF Pete?

Families confronted Navy leaders over sailors texting that they hope they don't wake up tomorrow. Ignoring suicidal troops to maintain a botched blockade is like watching your house burn to save a matchbook. Trump abandoned them. newrepublic.com/post/214243/...

Trump is a Pu$$y A$$ B!tch That is all.

“ I know Donald Trump watches your show, so I’ll say this to him directly. Mr. President you are the first…to start and lose a war by yourself!” And it gets better as you watch!

Conspiracy theories are crazy, but most American people are dumber than the rest.

Biden went to a literal war zone in Ukraine 🇺🇦 without cowering. Trump hid in a catering truck! Before that he hid in a bunker!

So, I completely understand secreting POTUS away from a credible assassination attempt. But leaving the entire Air Force One crew, press pool, etc. to play decoy is some sick shit.

Trump bragged about defense while China built toward a 435-ship Navy. Projecting power with our shrinking fleet is like guarding a vault with a water pistol. We lost the Pacific. defencesecurityasia.com/en/china-435...

China’s navy could reach 435 warships by 2030 while the U.S. Navy falls below 300, according to Pentagon-backed assessments. The growing imbalance could reshape Taiwan, the South China Sea and the future of Indo-Pacific security.
