Donald Trump cannot cancel the 2026 elections. But he can make it very difficult for them to be free and fair. His executive order is aimed at doing just that.
Here is my promise: We are going to sue to stop him and we will win.

Trump saves billionaires while Americans die. Your tax money is bailing out Tesla instead of you.

Dear MAGA,
The reason the judges, ALL of them, are ruling against you is that the courts don’t operate in your fantasy world- they operate in the real world and everything Trump and Elon are doing is illegalAF.
If you hate our laws & Constitution, you hate America.

Hey journalists:
No. Trump is not "pushing the limits of executive power." He is ripping our Constitution to shreds and he and Musk are committing illegal acts daily.
Find your balls (apparently hiding in some other orifice of yours) and report this accurately.

Seen on my news and academic feeds today:
"This is highly illegal!"
"Where are the courts?"
"Someone needs to arrest him/them!"
"The military needs to oust them!"
"WHERE ARE THE DEMS?"
This is the denial stage of grief. None of the above institutions are coming to save us.
We are all we've got.

There is no such fucking thing as being “too woman” to pilot a helicopter, “too gay” to land a plane or “too black” to be an air traffic controller.
There is however, such a thing as being too hateful, too stupid & too sociopathic to be president.
And we call that Donald Trump.

About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.

Footage from last year is now resurfacing of Trump promising to “end inflation” starting on “day one.”
— Egg prices are up.
— Gas prices are up.
— He is promising tariffs that will raise prices even more.
