Just because someone is wealthy and famous does NOT mean they are a good business person. (Especially if they inherited their wealth!) And it certainly doesn’t mean they’re good at making the economy work for middle class, working class, and poor folks.

According to the indefensible Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, President Trump and VP JD Vance are no longer welcome in the Pentagon because of a new “No Beardos, No Weirdos” rule. And Hegseth himself is being forced out of his role because the military is now merit-based.

Trump didn't kill enough people when he spread COVID; shot fishermen; let Israel demolish Gaza; let Russia invade Ukraine; demolished USAID, invaded Venezuela, and bombed Iranian kids. He wants to enable death at scale by allowing AI bots to go rogue. This administration's policies kill people.

President Trump’s Personal Attorney General Todd Blanch went on ABC This Week w/ George Stephanopoulos and said: AI? No worries! We can arrest criminals who use AI for crimes. Hey Todd — rogue AI agents ARE the criminals committing the crimes! You and your laz-AI-ffaire boss ain’t protecting us.

MAGA: The 2nd amendment means absolutely, pure gun rights — even if it weekly mass murder of our kids in schools, and elderly in churches. Also MAGA: The 1st Amendment means freedom of press. Unless they report on Trump’s awful policies and behavior. Then they’re banned from the White House.

Trump uses many tactics to rig elections. This June, he tried to intimidate #nonprofits that help folks vote. His FBI did a phony raid on the Ohio Organizing Collaborative - searching the office, grilling staff & volunteers at home, seizing electronics. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/06/12/f...

FBI searches offices of Ohio voting-rights group • Ohio Capital Journal

The FBI on Thursday searched the offices of an Ohio voting-rights organization. Two congresswomen called it harassment.

Who rigs elections? Trump. Why? He only keeps power by cheating. Why? Because he turned the US into a swamp filled w/ Putin-style invasions of nations & ICE invasions of our homeland; suicidal soldiers; rogue AI; pedophile protectionism; lettuce diarrhea; and $6 gas. www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme...

Supreme Court again blocks Missouri's new congressional map drawn to give Republicans an edge

The Supreme Court said in an unsigned decision that ordering Missouri to restore its 2025 map "would usher in electoral chaos."

Where is the waste and fraud? Voting by Mail and Medicaid? Or White House Ballroom, Kennedy Center, Reflecting Pool, UFC in WH law, foreign “gift” of Air Force One, Trump family crypto business? You tell me.

Let’s build a massive (temporary) monument to Mr. Trump in the middle of Washington. Thank him for his service. And move on with the business of this country: keeping Americans safe, healthy, with access to the American Dream, eggs at a decent price, clean air and water, liberty and justice for all.

Mr. Trump can’t keep his pie hole closed long enough to silently honor those killed on 9/11 in NYC — a rule since 2012. So he’ll go to the Pentagon, where his yes-men will allow him to spew nonsense. We need merit-based hiring for White House & cabinet. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/u...

Trump Plans to Mark 9/11 at the Pentagon, Not Ground Zero

President Trump originally intended to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Sept. 11 with remarks at ground zero, but the memorial’s organizers do not allow speeches. Mr. Trump changed his plans.

Some joke about Trump dying or being killed. But we shouldn’t be as immoral & bloodthirsty as Trump. We should push him out of the White House with the power of politics: Flip the House & Senate. Stop him from illegally running again. And banish Trump, his lackies & party w/ Red, White & Blue Waves.

President Trump distracts America from his Epstein Files pedophile scandal by illegally invading sovereign countries with Putin-like tactics. He distracts from his boondoggle wars by launching trade wars. He distracts from the cost of his tariffs by threatening to rename Lake Ontario….

This NY Post hit piece, & Fox News report it cites, stink of bias. Both are owned by same immigrant. Should author be fired? Paper shuttered? Owner deported? No: Freedom of Speech & Press! Yet they use these freedoms to attack these freedoms. Pathetic. nypost.com/2026/07/29/u...

Ex-Dem staffers, DEI leaders take over Smithsonian leadership amid political chaos

Trump is much more like Putin than Democratic Socialists are like Communists. In fact, U.S. Democratic Socialists were adamantly opposed to Soviet Communism — because it was a dictatorship, not a democracy. Hence the name Democratic Socialists.

Trump is yawning instead of leading. Instead of signing a bill to bring down the cost of housing, he dismissed it “a yawn“. So what does he care about? The SCAM AMERICA Act, which would help him rig elections & cling to power. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Trump will let bipartisan housing bill become law without signing in protest over GOP voter ID law

Trump had 10 days until the Friday deadline to sign the bill, issue a veto, or allow the measure to take effect without his signature.

How do we (nonprofit leaders & orgs) make so much noise about the Trump Admin’s War on Nonprofits that the mainstream media & politicians can’t ignore us anymore? And we build some political capital for our workforce & our sector! Specific, concrete ideas welcome.

Today’s @nytimes.com quotes Trump comparing his dick—I mean deal with Iran—to that of President Obama’s. “You know what Iranians did? They laughed at Obama, and they said ‘He’s a stupid son of a bitch.’” Now replace the word ‘Obama’ with ‘Trump’ in that sentence to learn what Don truly feels.

The administration is trying to weaponize federal funding by forcing grantees to Pledge Allegiance to the Trump Flag instead of Old Glory. We urge you to oppose the proposed regulations. Submit your public comments by July 13. Get info & tools from National Council of Nonprofits: bit.ly/49V2byF

Trump lied that he didn’t know his BFF. He lied that he didn’t know Epstein raped & pimped our kids. To distract us from his Pedo-Files, he used the men & women of our military to invade sovereign nations. And he Forever lies each & every Forever day by Forever saying his Forever War is over.

Trump is right: the fighting in Iran is NOT A WAR. It’s an invasion. a Trump™️ Invasion. An illegal, aggressive, unnecessary, deadly, costly invasion. Iran may be captured by an evil dictatorship, but it’s still a sovereign nation. And it’s full of innocent civilians. www.cfr.org/articles/gui...

Since returning to office, Trump has steadily expanded his use of military force abroad. Many of his actions mirror those of previous administrations, but diverge from the president’s past opposition ...
