Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney: "President Trump claims that Canada isn't a real country. He wants to break us so America can own us. We will not let that happen. We're over the shock of the betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons"

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

And yet half the country think he's their best choice as CEO of the country?
His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

The Trump administration has deported a 10-year-old girl to Mexico who is a US citizen and is recovering from brain cancer.

Her family was on their way to an emergency medical checkup when they were detained.

Trump keeps spreading lies about Social Security.

What he isn't telling you is that he's actively trying to dismantle it — firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering regional offices.

Why? To pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Want to know what a federal funding freeze does? It takes money from families that just lost their home in a wildfire. It takes resources away from vets. It leaves 72M Americans without access to healthcare. Trump, Elon, & their billionaire buddies laugh their way to the bank while Americans suffer.

We passed a bill in committee yesterday that felonizes elected officials if they vote against Trump’s immigration policy. Let that sink in. Duly elected officials will go to jail- will have a criminal record- if they do not vote for and support Trump’s policies.
