It’s not illegal to criticize the president.

This isn’t your signal to criticize him less, it’s to criticize him more for statements like this.

He can’t single all of us out.
Trump at the DOJ: "I believe that CNN and MSNDC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat Party. And in my opinion, they are really corrupt and they are illegal. What they do is illegal."

2) the Trump purge of CDC is getting deep… systematic dismantling of public health.

Oh no that’s horrible. I sure hope no one else sends fake reports to DEIAtruth@opm.gov.
The Trump administration’s anti-DEI snitching plan is getting flooded with fake reports after it tried to strong-arm federal workers into ratting out their colleagues.
Trump Wants Snitches to Report on DEI. There’s Just One Problem.

One in clean energy and one in cancer research.

Anyone you know feeling negative financial impacts already?
