Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera.
If this is his "peace" policy, I'd hate to see his war policy.

We're in the midst of a constitutional crisis.
The world's richest man is effectively orchestrating a coup.
At the very least, Senate Dems should not be confirming any of Trump’s nominees for any agency while this power grab continues.
Nothing should be "business as usual."

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Here's a clip from 2009, when President Obama spoke about the Continental Airlines crash -- the LAST time we had an airline crash with fatalities in America.
He didn't blame Bush.
He didn't blame Reagan.
He just consoled America.
A REAL Commander in Chief.

THIS IS A BLATANT LIE AND A DISGRACE TO THE MEMORIES OF THE VICTIMS.
While emergency responders are still recovering peoples' loved ones from the freezing water, Trump is using these families' pain for POLITICS by blaming their deaths on DEI.
A total failure of leadership.

Donald Trump is pardoning insurrectionists and renaming geographic landmarks to distract you from the fact he is literally about to freeze all federal assistance dollars.
He is flooding the zone to distract you. Don't let him!
