Remember Reagan first called it "trickle down" economics in the 1980's. If the rich get richer, it will trickle down to the rest of us. Well the rich have sure gotten richer but to do so, the middle class willingly handed them our tax dollars. Moral of the story: never trust a conservative.

When their healthcare is gone, they can’t afford housing or groceries and their children are dying because of diseases that vaccines eradicated, will maga believe they were fooled? Trump is a criminal and a conman who has a cold hateful heart.

Republicans are conservatives. This is what conservatives have done to any country where they have been allowed to amass power. It goes back centuries. They destroy all that is good. It’s who they are. But… they will lose in the end. They always do.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.
It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.
The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

It's always baffled me why Trump says at his rallies "One year ago America was dying and I saved it." Now I know. It's because Miller told him since he stopped immigration, he's saving the country. It's something Trump's addled, dementiafied brain remembers. Facts show otherwise but well, Trump.
Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety.
We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read:

Conservatives thruout history have been the bad guys. The list is endless. The Crusades, Spanish Inquisition, Dark Ages, Salem Witch trials, the Civil War, Jim Crow, slavery, Fascism, Mussolini, Hitler, Putin. All conservatives or conservative movements. Yes, they have always been the bad guys.

This is so true but when you tell people the facts, their eyes glaze over.
Americans want to be able to afford to buy a home, but private equity firms are gobbling up entire neighborhoods, pricing families out, and the GOP and Trump instead blame immigrants for this.
The real villains are the billionaires turning homes into profit machines.

By the way, the real drug traffickers aren’t on the boats. Those are just mules getting paid a few bucks. Trump doesn’t go after the real kingpins, he either leaves them alone or pardons them.

Congress could've passed HR 815 which would have solved the border problem and added new agents under Biden. But you Republicans killed the bill to give Trump the immigration issue he wanted. You caused the problem and now you're trying to shift the blame and cause needless harm. You are pathetic.

Any reporter who would think of asking that question is not allowed into press briefings. Only his sycophants. If a reporter has asked a tough question in the past, they likely have been banned. Since nearly 90% (estimation) of US media is owned by right wing billionaires, there's that too.
Not to mention, Trump *pardoned* the convicted cocaine trafficking kingpin, the former president of Honduras, responsible for trafficking 400 tonnes of cocaine into the US.

Make that make sense. 🤔
Has any reporter asked him to square that contradiction?

What was Honduras ex-president convicted of and why has Trump pardoned him?
Juan Orlando Hernández, once called the key figure in a drug trafficking scheme that flooded America with cocaine, walked free after the pardon.

I've known Mark personally for 15 years. He's man of character and devotion to his wife and to the American constitution. He is 1000X times the man Hegseth dreams of being. No contest here. Mark has piloted the space shuttle multiple times. Hegseth has space between his ears. Lots of empty space.

So, who are they going to follow? Former members of the military like astronaut Sen. Mark Kelly or a five time draft dodger like Trump? My money is on Kelly.
