Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.)
Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart.

The GOP enacted civil service reform.
The GOP will destroy civil service reform.
The GOP is NOT the same party that it was. Keep this in mind when they claim Lincoln as their own

Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.

The orange felon insults yet another female reporter by calling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins “stupid and nasty” after she inquired about the price of his trashy dictator ballroom after it increased by another $100M.

The Trump regime just got CAUGHT in a massive LIE — and they finally ADMITTED it.
After weeks of screaming “fake news,” the White House just CONFIRMED that the second U.S. strike in Venezuela DID happen… and it was authorized by Pete Hegseth himself — Trump’s handpicked warmonger.

She says they are about to hire their 10,000th ICE goon - with a budget bigger than most military budgets. Your money.

Trump ends the marathon cabinet ego-stroking session with a viciously racist rant about Somalians in Minnesota and Rep. Omar
He calls them “garbage”, “we don’t want them in our country”, Somalia “Stinks”, they “contribute nothing”, and “88% of Somalians get welfare” (a lie🤥 )

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Reporter: You said that that second strike was in full accordance with the law of armed conflict but the Navy's own manual of law of war says that specifically firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime that's forbidden under U.S. Law and the law of armed conflict…

Yep, killing us to have more money from SS, Medicaid and Medicare to give wealthy friends more tax breaks.
Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.
