Of the number of statements made by Trump that should warrant grave concern and rebuke, this one may be the most striking.
“I was saved by god to make America great again.”
The media and most politicians have entered an era of compliant darkness. We would be foolish to look to them for help.

Remember how Trump said ICE targets “violent criminals?”
Trump’s own DOJ now reports that ONLY 2.5% of the people ICE arrested in Chicago have any criminal history.
That means 97.5% have ZERO criminal record. They were targeted because they were of Latino ethnicity. This is what fascism looks like

It's a revealing moment...
J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.
The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

I want to see every no vote on record so these SOBs have to go home to their districts and look every parent of a teen and pre-teen girl in the face and realize that they voted to NOT protect their kids. And then I want to see the whole damn lot lose their seats in the midterms.

If Trump wags the dog in Venezuela it is going to do enormous damage to his already degraded brand here in the US. Zero support for this in the public. Will be seen for what it is - transparent attempt to rescue his flailing Presidency.
The US Navy destroyer USS Stockdale is now 50 km off the coast of Venezuela.

The same systems that enabled someone with Trump's character to be elected and the re-elected will ensure nothing changes within those systems.

If you are also a scientist, sure. If you aren't, like these guys, you should probably shut the fuck up and let the people whose opinions matter talk.

Trump knows that this is always a pathway for support from a certain segment of Americans - mostly men. The desire to “invest” and be an “entrepreneur.” Even without expertise, capital, or the resilience to endure failure.

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Considering the provable liability of associating oneself with the authoritarianistic Trump regime, and the general rancor and disappointment amongst democrats with their representatives, the next three cycles hopefully result in a much needed wholesale turnover of Congressional representatives.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
