Trump’s USDA is threatening to withhold food stamp funding for 20 Democrat-controlled states if they don’t share recipients’ sensitive personal data.

Yes: Trump is weaponizing hunger against millions of Americans, including children, to score cheap political points.

The cruelty is endless.

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.

Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.

Pure, mindless, barbarism.

#CharlieKirk #GOP hypocrites
Regarding Trump's posts calling for Dems to be murdered (for pointing out a legal right no less) funny the same people bleating about Charlie Kirk 3 months ago and "turning down the violent rhetoric" are suddenly silent on the president calling for violence against his political enemies.

#Hate has no place in our nation. Those supporting and encouraging it must be called out.
Let us be clear: The Swastika and nooses are hate symbols. Period. Beyond disgusting that the Trump administration is changing policy to say otherwise.

Look, these people voted for Trump to brutalize people, and in particular me, my kid, and my family. They got what they wanted. Big FAFO energy.

I feel the same amount of sympathy for a factory owner regretting voting for Hitler after the 8th Air Force flattened his factory.

Trump would only do this if:

a. He thinks he has it blocked in the Senate

b. He thinks he can withhold everything as part of an "ongoing investigation"

c. They're already altered / redacted the contents of the evidence enough to hide anything REALLY incriminating

I remember a time (not too long ago) that we had the collective moral decency to agree, that if a politician spoke this way to a female reporter, that would be the end of their political career.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Designating Saudi Arabia a major non-NATO ally gives significant military benefits. Doing so moments after dismissing Khashoggi’s murder—and attacking the journalist and network who asked about it—shows how far Trump is willing to go to elevate those U.S. intelligence has tied to murder.
Trump: "Tonight I'm pleased to announce that we're taking our military cooperation to even greater heights by formally designating Saudi Arabia as a major non-NATO ally."
