I loved President Obama. He was a great president. and ethical leader. But he wasn’t perfect.
He didn’t need to be. I wasn’t looking for a savior. I was looking for a competent chief executive who would empower the citizens he served.
That’s the difference between leadership and idol worship.

In December 2018, Epstein wrote about Trump: “I am the one able to take him down.”
Eight months later, Epstein was found dead in a prison run by the Trump administration.
Weird coincidence.

SNAP benefits are about to expire for millions.
Health insurance costs are about to skyrocket for millions.
Food prices are rising.
The government has been shut down for 25 days.
What is Trump focused on?
Tearing down a section of the White House to make way for a billionaire-funded ballroom.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill includes a $39B annual business tax break for millionaires.
For that same amount, we could extend the expiring ACA tax credits for a year — and still have $7B left over.

Those are LITERALLY the words Adolf Hitler used to describe Jews in Nazi Germany. Literally the same words.

As public health federal workers we support a shut down as a negotiating tool to keep Americans on their health insurance.
We are prepping to go without pay. We are readying our documents in case Vought uses a shut down to illegally fires us.
Dems, hold the line.

This government shut down is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throwing 15 million people off their health care.
We can't allow that to happen.

62,700 people have died in the Gaza War as of July 2025. 1,983 were Israelis. 80% were civilians. Several hundred were aid workers and journalists. 74,000 were killed in Nagasaki by the end of 1945 due to the atomic bomb dropped on the city. To put things into perspective.

"The president is stealing $1 billion from taxpayers to fund the renovation of a 'free' luxury 747 extorted from Qatar that may not fly before he is out of office and which he has said he gets to keep after he leaves" another all-time classic of this genre

EPA employees signed a letter criticizing their boss for not fulfilling the mission of environmental protection. They were immediately placed on administrative leave. James Baratta talked to EPA employees about this retaliation and the gutting of EPA actions:

These tariffs aren’t about the American people, they’re about President Trump. The result? A $2,800 tax on every family. Inflation is up, grocery costs are up, and while Trump pushes his personal agenda, American families are the roadkill.

I know this isn't useful but man is it wild how it's apparently just legal now for the president to blatantly enrich himself off of his office. Like not even a vague whiff of a possibility that there might be consequences. It's just allowed now, for this one guy.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.
While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.
End this oligarchy.
