Trump owns this. If he hadn’t pardoned this pedophile, children wouldn’t have been abused.

These criminals are dangerous. They’re not just a threat to our democracy—they’re a threat to the safety of our communities.

- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million

This is unprecedented.

Dear Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt:

You may not be aware of this, but it actually matters to the American public whether Donald Trump (1) has the intellect and temperament of a five-year old, (b) is a racist cretin, or (c) as seems most likely, both.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

Exactly.
If you still support Trump and his administration, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party.

I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion & humanity.

I judge you for your support of pedophilia, racism, treason & fascism.

So will others. So will history.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

FIFA should stop the World Cup Games from being held in the US. All games should be played in Canada and Mexico! We do not deserve the honor of hosting any games!
Boycott the World Cup

Not a foot should be set in that country until the madness stops

As angry as I am about the Trump administration's actions, I struggle (a LOT) with the reality that he's there only because a critical mass of my fellow citizens have (enthusiastically) nominated him three times for president and then a near-majority decided in 2024 that he was an acceptable option.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.

Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.

It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

NEWSOM: And that every time a windmill turns it costs $1,000. A lot of stuff stands out. None of this is normal. There's a deviancy of consciousness. He's graded off the curve.
