Jasmine Crockett nailed it! She explains EXACTLY why MAGA is going after DEI.

" They don't want any more Kamala Harris's. They don't want any more Jasmine Crockett's. But I got news for them. I don't care what they do. We will fight to the end to make sure that we get our due."

Trump stood next to convicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and said Palestinians should leave their homes. It's clear now - the US and Israeli government must be abolished by revolution, then we must go to Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, China, North Korea, everywhere else, til no governments remain.

This is absolutely terrifying. #HostileTakeover #AmericaHasFallen
Nothing screams democracy like having a secret squad of company men pull off a hostile takeover of America's Social Security and tax information in the dead of night.

Do something @schumer.senate.gov I'm starting to lose confidence in the democratic party right now, this CANNOT be happening in the United States. Who is the leader of the democratic party currently? WE can only call so many times, #KenMartin the majority is Republican they will turn it back to 1913
Congress must take action to restore the rule of law.

They need to do something, because I'm losing hope, faith, confidence - whatever you may call it, towards the democratic party right now. Hell, right about now Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, and John Lewis hell even Quincy Jones doesn't sound too bad anymore does it? LoL all jokes aside. Buckle up.

OMG. “We have offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system,” Mr. Bukele wrote on X, saying his government was willing to take in convicted criminals, INCLUDING U.S. citizens, for a fee." 😱😱 Who's to say democratic leaders aren't placed there when ready.

Here's what USAID does, and why the new administration is targeting it.
What Is USAID, and Why Do Trump and Musk Want to Close It?
The agency’s funding accounts for a tiny portion of the federal budget, but its structure may have made it an easy target for Trump-era cost-cutting.
