Elon Musk and DJT took away 44% of the world's humanitarian aid to Sudan by gutting USAID.

For fucks sake, stop telling me both parties are the same and there's no point in voting. It's so obviously untrue. Millions are dying bc of the Holocaust Musk began. The fascists must be stopped.
Tr*mp + Musk cut off 44% of the world's humanitarian aid for Sudan. Now it's a full-blown famine

California’s Gov. Newsom says, Democrats can play that game and beat you!! Democrats need to return the favor!!

This is how we ban partisan gerrymandering!!

-Lebanon
-Syria
-not to mention us (USS Liberty)

No QUESTION that oval office debacle was a setup. They ambushed Zelensky, trump spoke to Putin 2 days prior and there was a Russian state media person PLANTED in the oval office to livestream back to Russia. WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?! Whole administration needs to be arrested!

The US government has now gutted all of the tools created to fight kleptocracy. It's going to be up to other democracies to save their political and financial systems from anonymous flows of cash.

Stop being friends with fascists.
If you saw them take food out of the mouths of starving children overseas, would you stop being their friend? If so, stop being their friend, because their support for Trump is taking food out of the mouths of starving children overseas.

About the pardons, herein lies the problem:

This man had two children in prison for their crimes on January 6, and not only does he refuse to blame Trump—he worships him and says he’d die for him. And this isn’t a one-off.

They will do anything for Trump and nothing will make them see the light.

Trump and his sycophants are loudly proclaiming that Trump has a mandate granted by the voters and, therefore, everyone should give him everything he wants. Pump the brakes. Let's do some math and take a look at the numbers.

Mandate? More Americans Voted Against Trump Than Voted For Trump ...It's Math
Mathematically, Trump doesn't have a mandate, more than half of the voters rejected him

@cnn.com Scott Jennings still being employed as an honest opinion is why I can't watch anymore. That's not honest journalism. He rants and raves as a biased and untruthful gop plant. He's a misplaced fox celebrity. When you fire him I may come back but I doubt it now.
