Trumpism:

1. Manufacture an excuse to attack and threaten your opponent
2. Deny everything
3. Declare victory regardless of what actually happens

While this gives the appearance of power and success, at some point reality reveals the chaos and destruction it causes.

Wake up America!

This story of an Iraq Veteran that was recently fired from her VA job helping other veterans just breaks my heart.

Stand up, push back, say something. Give the Truth a voice.

We are in unchartered waters.

Our (WA) members of Congress have asked constituents to email rather than call when commenting on issues to keep the phones open for urgent calls from constituents that have lost their jobs due to the vicious and unconstitutional DOGE cuts.

Resolve is growing.

I'm struck with how President Trump has really never solved anything. No infrastructure plan, no education plan, no healthcare plan. No public services.
Name one action he has taken that didn't involve hurting others, tearing something down, or destroying a public good.
Really. Name one.

Dear Republicans
90% of businesses fail from a hostile takeover:
-loss of momentum from chaos
-failing to retain talent
-failure to address cultural differences
-Acquier Superiority: believing you know more than others

You good with that 10% survival chance for us?

Your Country

Dear America,
We all need to learn what this word means.

Grade: Failing

Republicans give the rich tax breaks. They don't pay for the tax breaks, they just put it on the National Credit Card. Between Bush and Trump, the Republicans DOUBLED the national debt. In a few days they will do it again while trying to blame the debt on other people. Just look at the facts.

And so here we are. In just one week this President has already committed 3 illegal acts: changing who can become citizens, impounding money that Congress already approved, and illegally removing 15 Inspector Generals that are protected by law.
Congress is apparently ok with that.
I'm not.

"Without Fear or Favor" is how Democracies are supposed to work.
Dictatorships on the other hand, rely on fear and favor. How strange our country does not see what is happening as this President punishes his enemies and rewards those loyal only to him.

Most voters blamed Biden for the Cost of Living increase. The press rarely shows us the big picture. This chart does.

Our country deserves respectful governance. This is Republican cruelty designed to create fear and chaos.
This is just plain wrong.
