Hegseth will be the next Secretary of Defense, with Vance breaking a 50-50 tie.

Hegseth will betray this country.

That is what he was nominated to do.

BOOM! Bishop Mariann Budde has responded to her critics who told her to apologize to Donald Trump.

“I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.”

Smash that repost if you agree she owes Trump ZERO apologies!! 🦋

Trump ordered the National Institutes of Health to cancel their review panels on cancer research.

If you or someone you know has cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or one of many countless illnesses that needs a cure — this could have devastating effects.

Big Oil spent ~$100 million to boost Trump in 2024.

This fell short of the $1 billion he asked for, but it's already paying dividends.

Trump loaded his cabinet with Big Oil lackeys, withdrew from the Paris Agreement, and moved to expand drilling in Alaska.

Follow the money.

Our governors present the model for how Democrats can compete and win in the toughest states in the country.

@andybeshearky.bsky.social is a great example of that. Let's take lessons from his success in Kentucky. I’m ready to expand the map and win together.

Sam has meeting with Trump.
Trump praises Sam.
Elon gets jealous.
Elon says Sam is scamming Trump.
Elon post things Sam said in past about Trump.
MAGA attacks Sam.

MAGA Christians are getting some really bad second-hand news from me and minsters like Reverend Budde that blows up the story they've spent a long time telling themselves and depend on to justify the harm they do to so many people.

Amazon workers in Quebec unionized last year.

This week, Amazon closed its warehouse operations in Quebec.

Amazon denied the closures were related to unionization, but it has a track record of crushing unions in America.

Union busting is disgusting — and a global problem.

Unions had gained a foothold in one of the company’s warehouses in the province, though Amazon would not say if there was a connection.
