We may not agree on every policy, but we now must be totally unified in a fight against our common enemies: authoritarianism, unchecked executive power and unprecedented corruption by self-serving Billionaires.
The President's Surrender is Pathetic and Weak.
Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Instead of Defending a country against a murderous autocrat, Trump wants to exploit Ukraine's vulnerability to rob them at gunpoint. Shameful! Slava Ukraini!

Very concerning!
EXCLUSIVE: Candidates for national security roles in the new administration have been posed loyalty questions, such as: Was Jan. 6 an inside job, and Was the 2020 presidential election stolen? They were asked to give straight "yes" or "no" answers. Here's our story.

"blatantly unconstitutional" - we're disgusted that Republicans have abdicated their fidelity to the Constitution in fealty to a cult. They are cowards.
“Ignore the media headlines reporting that these moves ‘raise questions’ or ‘push the boundary.’ It’s an anticonstitutional lawbreaking spree.”

Focus! The real story is the attack on our Constitution and the Rule of Law. Billionaires are curb-stomping Federal Agencies and looting the Government.
I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza.
But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

Hello?? Can the Democrats interrupt their friendly, thoughtful committee meetings and act like they want to defend the rule of law, checks & balances, the Federal workforce and our damn democracy???
The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Good Lord, wake up, people! Where is everyone?

As Conservatives, we never thought we would agree with Bernie Sanders, but we're facing a rapid growth of authoritarianism and corruption. Meanwhile, good governance, free enterprise and competitive markets are under attack.
Bernie Sanders: "We are living in an unprecedented moment in American history. We are looking at a rapid growth of oligarchy. We are looking at a rapid growth of authoritarianism. And I fear we're looking at a rapid growth of kleptocracy as well."

The Felon's puppet master has taken control of our Government's payments. Where's Congress? Where's the rule of law? This is illegal
So the world's richest man spends a fortune backing Trump and is given the go-ahead to...
-Run an "efficiency" agency despite having billions in govt contracts
-Replace civil servants with his own cronies
-Gain access to sensitive Treasury payment systems
See the problem?
