Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

Thanks to the Republican Party, the economy is being driven by two groups of people:
1. people who flunked economics in college, and
2. people who didn’t take economics in college.

When you hear that a Christian youth director was charged with 60 counts of criminal sexual conduct and child sexual abuse, do you even have to be told it was a Trump supporter?

No matter how many times Republicans say otherwise, there is *no way* they can pay for their tax cuts for the rich without gutting healthcare and food assistance for the poor — along with other programs that millions of people rely on.
Don't believe their lies for a second.

"Trump was so certain that every other world leader would capitulate because he has such a distorted perception of how people act, in that he is surrounded by the most groveling, sycophantic, obsequious hangers-on with their mouths latched onto his ass."

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.
It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained.
And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.

The Trump administration wants to shut down all of Social Security over a ruling blocking 11 DOGE workers from sticking their fingers in your private data.
11 DOGE workers. 73 million Americans.
This is illegal. If it happens, will force millions of seniors into poverty.
