Why is the DOJ deleting links to files they just uploaded? I wonder…
Maybe because they exposed DJT for who we all knew him to be despite MAGA bearing their head in the sand.
Those pages must’ve accidentally gotten into the upload. Someone’s getting fired today.

Why are we not talking more about Trump suing the IRS for $10 billion.

There is absolutely zero possibility that Trump use the word “heretofore”. No way. Who’s writing his ridiculously stupid tweets?

How can DHS, Fox News, and MAGA justify murder stating the victim was armed. Aren’t those the second amendment rights they demand? Isn’t gun control one of their issues? Don’t they advocate for the right to carry?
Hypocrisy at its finest.

Can police really just declare an “unlawful assembly” to force protestors out? Don’t like what they’re saying? Too bad. That’s what the first amendment affords them.

ICE tackling and handcuffing kids, going into an elementary school to steal children. Trump administration working hard to destroy families. They criticized the Biden administration saying they were losing kids, but then they go ahead and just steal them. Trump‘s hypocrisy at its finest.

Norm says federal officers “only use those chemical agents when there’s violence happening and perpetuating.”
That six month old strapped into her car seat must really have been giving them a run for their money.
Noem has no idea what’s happening, but continues to defend blindly.

De Santos condones vehicular manslaughter in a public statement. To suggest protesters are dragging people out of their cars and the only way to prevent this is to run them over, is beyond ridiculous.

DeSantis says protesters on roadways can be run over by drivers. Is that true?
“Can an individual who is just standing there and something breaks out be arrested? Is an individual able to run over a protester?”

Trump demands DEI at Harvard. 🤣
He’s just calling it something else. But demanding diversity of ideology and thought at an academic institution is DEI.
What a joke.

The Trump administration will freeze over $2 billion in federal funds because Harvard refused to comply with a list of demands. Harvard leaders believed saying no was worth the risk.

Not only did he use fuzzy math, his math had no logic at all. As he read his list, he stated the tariffs imposed by other countries when in fact, those were not at all the tariffs imposed by those countries. Just a ridiculous equation to justify his actions. Now we ALL get to pay.

Please stop saying that this is not what you voted for. This is exactly what you voted for. You were just hoping the worst of his propaganda wouldn’t come true when in reality it’s the best of his sales pitch that had no chance.

Requiring a passport or birth certificate to vote may seem simple, but 140m Americans don’t have a passport and 69m women don’t have a birth certificate matching their current last name. How is state issued drivers license or ID not acceptable??

The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens
The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.
