#DOGE was never about reducing the size of government and always about letting their billionaire donor friends rip you off.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

We did this. Back in the 19th and early 20th century. They were called "insane asylums" and one of their key features was the idea that they would be entirely self-sustaining...meaning the "inmates" worked everything from janitorial to agriculture to domestic service for the medical staff.
RFK Jr said he wants to send folks who are taking antidepressants and ADHD medications to "wellness farms" in rural America where they will be forced to labor by growing organic food to "cure their addictions."

The farms will "reparent" them.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed.

Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly.

Yet another reason he must be rejected.

President Musk now has a body count, which will ultimately climb into the millions. This is a feature for him—he’s a white supremacist eugenicist. But, journalists need to EXPOSE that. Ask every Republican and Musk if they are pleased with killing people. All day, all night, 24/7/365.

The AP should stop covering Trump events. Instead send those White House reporters out into the field to report on the harms and repercussions of his policies.

The U.S. public never needed coverage of pseudo-events anyway.
Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“

The silence of most Republican members of Congress on the Trump tariffs tells you two things:

1. They know it is a terrible idea.

2. They are so afraid of Trump that they won’t say anything even though they know how much it is going to hurt their constituents and the country.

Reminder once more that the President has ZERO authority to reallocate funds already appropriated by Congress for a particular purpose.

And an unelected billionaire oligarch has even less than ZERO authority to hijack & reallocate funds.

This is a coup. A hostile takeover. A Constitutional crisis.

I’m so tired of this ‘mandate’ BS and ‘the American people said…’ nonsense.

Trump didn’t win a majority of the popular vote, and beat Harris by one of the smallest popular vote margins (1.5%) in US history. If you factor in turnout, he got the votes of less than 1 in 3 eligible voters in the US.
