Another example of corporate media’s protection of Trump. An honest headline would have been ‘Trump Escalates Weaponization of Justice Department’

Trump’s lies about “rigged elections” have to be wearing very thin, even for republicans, right? It must be harder for his supporters to keep believing that only those elections they lose are the ones that are rigged. This is where Trump goes full on voter suppression;Dems have to keep fighting back

Thinking about this - Trump, Mr ‘ I’m so rich, I’m so powerful, I can do anything I want as president’ - is fighting tooth and nail to deny SNAP benefits to families. This regime is a horror show. Let’s send a resounding message in 2026 and vote out these un-American creeps.

Could a federal judge swear in congresswoman-elect Grijalva now, without waiting for the lawsuit to be heard? Or is this the democrats once again trying to “follow rules”? I don’t see the downside of going outside Congress to swear in a duly elected representative.

Hold that pose Hegstheth, you’ll need it in prison once you’re held accountable for murder, which you will be.

In a better world, corporations, universities, the media and an electorate that valued pulling together for all Americans - where disaster aid wasn’t meted out based on who voted for Trump - would rise together and defeat this sick, corrupt anti-American regime.

WoooHooo, the “free-marketers” win. While accepting $20-40B in government bailout from the USA. Disgraceful, unabashed hypocrisy there and here.

We can’t let republicans gain the narrative that No Kings rallies are “hate America” rallies. What they are doing to this country by empowering a vicious dictator wannabe is truly hateful and anti-American.

Leavitt says Trump paying troops with money authorized by Congress for other purposes is “creative.” It’s illegal and more evidence that he thinks he’s a king. Congress is supposed to represent the people and control where our tax dollars are spent. This regime doesn’t care about any of that.

She is a disgraceful, smug empty shell of a person. I hope when her current job ends she never works again (Fox, OAN notwithstanding), and if she’s broken any laws she’s held accountable.

These racist homophobic texts and chats from young republicans are not ‘kids making jokes’ as Vance spins it. These young creeps are emboldened to say and act on what they really believe by the perceived popularity of this detestable regime. It’s a predictable evolution that needs to be reversed now

Must be the frustration taking over the moment, but I want the democrat who runs for president in 2028 to pledge to immediately jail Trump, Miller, Bondi and Noem until federal courts, SCOTUS and/or Congress sorts out and holds them accountable for the crimes they’ve committed against our Country.

Here we go again. Trump and his MAGA cabinet engage in the most vicious actions against people, get called out for it, and it’s the“rhetoric” of those calling it out that’s causing some real and some invented violence.

Love watching MAGA lose its mind over Bad Bunny - one of the most popular recording artists in the US and globally. Of course he’s a sensible choice for the halftime show based on his streaming and concert ticket sale numbers. MAGA just can’t get past its racist anger and ICE deportation cruelty.

So tired of low info people buying into ‘it’s the Dems fault’ for the shutdown. One side is fighting for the majority of Americans and one is protecting corporate wealth and misusing power. Not that complicated.

It’s infuriating listening to Hegseth hysterically scream like a hopped up frat boy about problem DEI promotions and hires. This from arguably the most unqualified SecDef ever, a white Christian nationalist Trump sycophant for whom merit was never a consideration in his appointment.

Just like in every other Trump speech or tweet, he confesses or projects something ugly. Today in front of hundreds of top military officials he railed against “the enemy from within.” The primary enemy from within, trying to overthrow democracy, was the low energy draft dodger at the lecturn.
September 30, 2025 at 8:55 PM
So sick of the corrupt criminal-in-chief in the White House bloviating every day about how ‘dems want crime’ and how tough on crime he is. MAGA continues to ignore the hypocrisy of rhe convicted felon trying to sell himself as crime fighter. Ridiculous.

AG John Mitchell went to prison for his role in Nixon’s Watergate cover up. AG Bondi’s actions must be closely monitored, Trump won’t think twice about leading her down that path. if she crosses the line, she must be held accountable - we used to do that in this country.
