this guy launched a coup from his country club but you’re not allowed to work from home
Trump is posting a bunch of photos without captions, presumably of him watching the Maduro kidnapping.
Is this the inside of a SCIF at Mar-a-Lago or did they just toss up some pipe and drape?

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.”
Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

Even people who hated Maduro and wanted him gone are not going to be grateful to have a leader imposed by Donald Trump instead. When the new president declared that Venezuela will never be a colony, they will not be his slaves, I bet that resonated with EVERYONE.

I've been reading about H. Pylori. The ER did blood work. That's a routine test for H. Pylori and the ER doctor, and then my doctor yesterday, said that my blood and urine didn't indicate infection. And the VA blood report didn't. Scratching head.

Like the demolition of the White House’s East Wing.
Trump did the same thing with the Bonwit-Teller friezes.
He just does it and then it’s too late.

North Korea has fired ballistic missiles into the sea off its east coast again which, at this point, feels less like breaking news and more like a grimly predictable ritual.

And bring back the Tax Rates of the 1950's when America led the world in Education, Industry and medicine. Corporations and the rich paid 30% of Fed Govt back then. Now, they pay less than 7% and now u pay the rest. #TaxtheRich
-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence
These are the foundations of real freedom.
