1. He didn’t have the authority to change the name of The Dept of Defense, and he doesn’t have the authority to change the name of the Kennedy Center.

2. More importantly, he needs to be removed from office. He’s mentally unfit to be president, and he’s a clear & present danger to this country.

Trump and Republicans claim they want to "protect children."

But they've rolled back child labor laws and environmental protections, blocked gun safety reform, and spread lies about vaccines that save children from deadly diseases.

Hello?

My son has an incurable, lifelong skin cancer syndrome (NBCCS).
This week, he had ANOTHER mystery lump biopsy w/stitches, and regularly has benign jaw tumors removed (26), along with permanent teeth (25).

Like millions of Americans, we’re ALL walking preexisting conditions.

2026 is coming. 🗳️👇🏽

Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

Trump's big announcement last night is that he's taking money from our military and then putting his name on it. That's not a dividend.

This is like wrapping somebody's stuff and gifting it back to them for Christmas.

Everything this president does is a con.

Trump’s 19-Minute Meltdown Wasn’t a Speech. It Was a Dementia Filled Desperate Nervous Breakdown.
The president didn’t address the nation — he berated it, lied to it, and begged it to absolve him while visibly unraveling on live television.
