Donald Trump claims America is not being treated fairly by NATO. Nothing could be further from the truth. Trump + his administration has brought this all on themselves. The American people will have to pay the price. Every time Trump doesn't get his way he ALWAYS claims he's being treated unfairly.

Something that should be motivating squeamish congressional Democrats is that if people don't see help coming, this kind of resistance is going to escalate pretty drastically
Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.

“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power.

Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror.

Grow a spine and vote no.

This is why we need an entirely new government. They are all complicit in the corruption.

Sherrill: "We see a POTUS illegally usurping power. He's unconstitutionally enacted a tariff regime to make billions for himself while everyone else's costs go higher. Here we demand people in public service actually serve the public instead of extorting money to benefit themselves & their cronies."

What’s happening in Minneapolis may soon be happening in your city.

What are you prepared to risk to counter ICE’s bullying and brutality?

This is a personal question that I wish I didn't have to ask — but it's something we must grapple with right now.

The 15 richest people in America saw their collective wealth jump nearly $1 trillion during Trump's year back in office.

Many of them were standing alongside Trump at his inauguration one year ago today.

How are you doing?

Jones to Hannity: Shame on you. Your children will be ashamed of where you stand. I’m going to pray for you. Tell Trump to put down the pardon pen and pick up a mirror if he wants to go after criminals.

Given that Trump is ridiculous, it is worth pointing out that anyone who flatters or admires him also comes across as an idiot.

Trump claims he’s cracking down on fraud in Minnesota — while pardoning actual fraudsters.

Over half of his 88 individual pardons have been for white collar crimes, including money laundering, bank fraud, and wire fraud.

It’s all part of his pay-to-pardon scheme.

Love is not all
anxious butterflies—
a beloved held
in opaque outline,
where vague edges
form the source
of wild desire

rather, it is
a detailed painting,
with everything
etched in—
a complete person,
in full colour

held dear
for exactly
who they are.

Trump just spoke about Renee Good and spent most of his economy of words on how sad it is that her dad was... a huge Trump fan. Not that his child is dead. Not that she was killed by the federal government. That he's a Trump fan.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.
Trump: "They're paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree by Somalians. They've taken it. Somalians. A lot of very low IQ people."

A sad reminder that so much of the media has succumbed to both-sides coverage. They are afraid of Trump and are paralyzed by the new challenges we face.
