Hiring your friends to run a $200 million anti-immigrant ad campaign funded by taxpayer dollars is incredibly corrupt.

Don’t believe the myths. The ultra rich want people to hate the poor so we can’t see how badly we’re being screwed over.

Now what happens when people don't have food? They take it when they get desperate enough. Then Trump points to the "huge crimewave" and declares martial law. That is the end game and he will do anything to get there, including starving Americans.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.
…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.
…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.
The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

Dominion Voting Systems, the largest producer of voting machines, was acquired by Republican owned Liberty Vote. CEO/billionaire Scott Leiendecker is MAGA and an election denier. This is why Trump wanted to get rid of mail in voting so badly. No paper trails. America was nice while it lasted.

This is from 2013 when Obama was in office and Republicans, who had the majority in Congress, were complaining Democrats wouldn't "cooperate" with them. WHY WON'T YOU HELP US DESTROY THE ECONOMY AND THE AMERICAN DREAM? 2025: Lather, rinse, repeat.

"Just buy generics" they'll say. Except 45% of generic drugs are made in India. This will do nothing but kill off the most vulnerable.
Trump said the tariffs will go into effect on October 1, but the levy won’t apply to companies that have started building manufacturing plants in the U.S.

The hypocrisy from Trump's FCC Chair is staggering but unsurprising.
It should be clear by now that to MAGA, protecting freedom of speech was always secondary to wielding the power to punish anyone who questions this regime.
