Fellow Democrats—feel that chest-tightening rage at a red hat? That’s chronic anger hurting you.
Raises blood pressure, weakens immunity. Steals sleep, poisons friendships, turns family dinners into war zones.
You’re raging at half the country—and it’s hollowing you.

Your irony overlooks Dems' shutdown filibuster over ACA subsidies—costing $90B, 43 days of chaos, $15B/week GDP hit, 42M SNAP losses. Bipartisan blame, but they prolonged Trump's policy pain. No one's blameless.
The irony of the American economy being dictated by the whims of Donald Trump is that he'll have no one else to blame when it all crumbles.
This will be his undoing.

Trump did cut off his grandnephew's med fund for seizures in retaliation for an inheritance lawsuit. But it was his nephew (not brother) asking, & the fund was already set up. Cruel either way.
Let's remember that the orange conman was just as cruel to his own family when his brother asked him to set up a medical fund for his son who had been diagnosed with a debilitating disease after he stole his family's inheritance of course.

Trump's "Golden Age": tariffs spark manufacturing boom, energy independence slashes prices, ironclad borders, America First restores global respect. Jan '25 inaugural: "The golden age begins right now!" MAGA blueprint for prosperity over chaos. #MAGA #GoldenAge #Trump2025 #AmericaFirst
Josh Hawley says Trump can’t be bought. That is bullshit! He loves flattery and gold baubles. He wants to bring back the Gilded Age, the 1870s to the 1900s, known for its rapid industrial growth, wealth inequality, and political corruption. We are there.
Fight back!

Trump plans real relief: $2K tariff rebate checks to families, portable mortgages to unlock housing without rate hikes Deregulating energy/food for affordability; school choice/vouchers. Merit-based immigration & fair policies/dignity; extending tax cuts. More progress ahead!
Voters want elected officials to lower the cost of living, treat people with dignity & strengthen public schools, not seize power for themselves. Those who won focused on what Americans need—a life they can afford, opportunity to get ahead & a real voice in our democracy. www.aft.org/column/affor...

Hey, shutdown ended Nov 12—gov’s back, paychecks flowing. Same day: 20k+ Epstein files dropped. Dems got 218 sigs for more (some GOP too). No pedo cover-up—just wild spin!
Reminder: Republicans are more concerned with protecting pedophiles than protecting the American people.
Day 30 of the shutdown and the pedophile protection party only cares about ensuring the Epstein files are not released.

MAGA: Tariffs = leverage for deals, minimal pass-through. Now: Exemptions on beef/coffee slash prices via wins. Policy evolves—voters win. Not flip-flop, just results. Cult? Try facts.
Several months ago MAGA were defending the orange felon by saying tariffs won’t ever increase prices and now they’re defending him by saying he’ll decrease prices by removing tariffs. Yes, it’s an idiot death cult.

Baseless: Trump condemned neo-Nazis repeatedly. Epstein emails allege ties, not pedophilia—no charges.. Corruption unproven GOP honors voter mandate, not "ignoring" Constitution. Sour grapes.
It’s kinda wild the President is openly corrupt, Nazi sympathizing, and very likely a pedophile—and most Republicans in Congress are still willing to ignore the Constitution whenever he asks.

My bad. Exactly why should parents keep their children away from Trump?
That’s YOUR cognitive leap, buddy. I certainly didn’t mention pedophilia.

No proof Trump’s a pedophile—zero. Just another baseless smear in a long line. Accusers spreading lies like this shouldn’t vote. Facts matter. #TrumpTruth

JEC report is cumulative over 10 months, not monthly. Inflation's 3% (down from Biden's 9%), with global/tariff factors. Day 1 was bold talk—fixes take time. Dems' era: +$28K family costs. #Facts
According to a new analysis by Democrats on the Joint Economic Committee, the average American family has paid more than $700 in higher costs per month since Trump took office.
Remember when Trump said he would end inflation on "day one"?

It's descriptive, yes—but not morally neutral. When one racial group votes 80-90% for a party while others split, it signals deep polarization. The South's GOP dominance reflects policy alignment on guns, taxes, & culture, not just "white supremacy." Ignoring that nuance is the real insanity.
It is absolutely insane that "the GOP regularly wins supermajorities in the Deep South because white southerners reliably vote for the GOP at a rate outstripping any other demographic" is consistently taken as morally normative, instead of a simple descriptive statement.

No, ICE isn’t kidnapping kids for anyone. They enforce laws passed by Congress, separating families only when required by policy or safety—never for a “pedo President.” False accusations fuel hate; facts protect kids. #RuleOfLaw
To be quite honest.
I don’t think ICE should be kidnapping children for a p€do President.
Do you?!?!?!?

People want to believe that the GOP’s electoral success in red states is the result of dirty tricks and gerrymandering instead of the sincerely held beliefs of a majority of the population because a mechanical issue is easier to fix than wrestling with how to make people not believe what they do.

ICE agents are sworn federal officers enforcing immigration laws. Labeling them "thugs" ignores their duty & risks. Due process for all, including them. Justice means facts, not vengeance. #RuleOfLaw
Stop calling them ICE agents. They’re not actual law enforcement. They are thugs-for-hire recruited from the Proud Boys, J6ers, and others. They are violent predators given the freedom to run wild against the people they have demonized. Every one of them must be brought to justice when this is over.

Seen enough Epstein memes to say: Trump wasn't his buddy. Banned him from Mar-a-Lago after spotting underage creepiness—no island, no crimes.
Meme's nonsense. Put Bill Clinton (26 Lolita flights, dodging Qs) or Prince Andrew (settled abuse suit, stripped titles) sprinting instead.
Facts > fiction.

Calling Trump a "king" is illogical: US presidents are elected, term-limited, & checked by Congress/courts—unlike hereditary monarchs w/absolute power.
Trump's secure borders curb fentanyl deaths (100k+/yr), protect jobs (millions displaced), & enforce laws—illegal entry isn't a right.
