Everyone associated with the Trump administration is a lying asshole, they're corrupt to the core & deserve to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law

Trump said Peru is quite deadly, and most people don’t know this, but 30k die every year from viper attacks.

The actual figure is 10.

30,000 and….10. So close.

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about Don Jr receiving a massive loan for his startup from the Pentagon. I guess when there’s so much corruption some things fly under the radar?

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

A 66-year-old competitive runner.

Six broken ribs.

He won’t be able to run his marathon anymore and all because ICE didn’t like how fast he moved his car.

This isn’t about “immigration enforcement” anymore.

It’s about unchecked power and the normalization of state violence.👇

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Remember that ceasefire everyone praised Trump for securing between Israel & Gaza?

Netanyahu just massacred 104 Palestinian civilians, including 46 children, on the mere accusation that Hamas handed over the 'wrong' corpse

HE MASSACRED 46 CHILDREN & I doubt you've heard one media outlet mention it

It's not "budgetary Twister," it's willfully violating Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 of the Constitution.

Just because President Trump chooses to ignore Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 does not mean that the NYT should pretend Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 does not exist.

It’s outrageous they’re killing innocent people, but we also need to stress, every time, that it would not really matter even it were absolutely certain that they were drug traffickers. Murdering criminals is still, you know, murder.
The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone.

The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.

Today, the MAGA cult leader Donald Trump posted an AI generated video of him smearing feces on peaceful protestors.
