The President of the United States PUBLICLY pressuring the Attorney General go after his political enemies. And an entire political party, and half the country, will yawn & look the other way. Sure, blame Trump for democracy & the rule of law slipping away. But so, so many others deserve blame too.

Trump administration has ended federal government's annual report on hunger in America‼️
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the termination of the Household Food Security Reports, introduced in 1990s to track food insecurity & help inform food assistance programs‼️

Trump's politicization of our military is dangerous and a betrayal of the Americans who signed up to serve their country.

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying.

We ALL need to step up for the first amendment.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.

ABC is going to interview Trump on his first 100 days in office. Boycott this show. ABC wants to let him spew lies for 2 hours. I highly doubt that they'll dispute any of his rantings, since they caved in his lawsuit against Stephanopoulos. More fascist propaganda for his MAGA minions to devour.
