With armed militia now on American streets because of Dump, the 2A is no longer worth the paper it is written on. Dump has done more to invalidate the 2A than any gun safety activist ever has.

That said, I STILL HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT EPSTEIN AND NOBODY ELSE SHOULD.

One thing that EVERYONE should know by now is Republican/MAGA doublespeak - meaning that whatever they claim, the truth is the exact opposite.

Trump says he’s going to allow 600,000 students from China to come to the US because he has a great relationship with President Xi and it’s very important to allow them to study here.

Which is the opposite of what they’ve been saying for months.

The student newspaper.
This fell. To the student. Newspaper.
Stanford University’s student-run newspaper sued two senior Trump administration officials Wednesday, challenging Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s ability to revoke student visas and deem an individual deportable based on the content of their speech.

Where I come from, we call this Medicare fraud.

(Where I come from = public health sector health systems specialist - the job I had before Trump ousted me during his first term. Part of my job was to seek and destroy rich people that would overcharge the VA for medical devices.)
Trump delayed the rollout of a Biden rule that sought to prevent abusive Medicare pricing practices from private companies — after Trump PAC MAGA Inc. received a $5 million donation from one such company that stood to lose out on billions in earnings due to the rule. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/u...

Did the tourism industry get drunk and impulsively lay off all their lobbyists? Maybe all the foreign tourism bigwigs died of Covid? Why is there no pushback against the destruction of a $200 billion industry?
The State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to enter the United States, a move that may make the process unaffordable for many.

Our veterans deserve reproductive care.
The Trump administration just effectively banned abortion care for veterans — in all cases except life endangerment. They have continued attacking access to reproductive care for service members, veterans, and their families.

Everyone should have the freedom to get the abortion care they need.

People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary.

Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

Not to mention those of us on SSI are legally not allowed to have more than $2k in any savings or checking COMBINED. So we cannot save money even if we had any to save in the first place.

Shit’s feeling real dire and bleak right now.
They're saying you should "start saving up" to be without payments in a month or two. Soo anywhere from one to two paychecks.

On Social Security.

Curious as to what alternate reality these folks live in, 'cause they sure aren't familiar with Planet Earth.
