trump is a national disgrace, unfit for any office because he’s a traitor and a convicted felon.
HERO vs ZERO
I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

DOGE is not a govt efficiency project. Firing 1 in 4 fed employees would cut govt spending by 1%. DOGE is a political control project. Firing and terrorizing public employees is a means to weakening state regulation & strengthening a personalist presidency donmoynihan.substack.com/p/doge-misma...

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad?
We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

Make the Trump Administration, Elon Musk, and his “DOGE” bros prove that they are in compliance with the existing federal court orders.
Put some teeth on these court orders.
Non-compliance=contempt of court

Thanks for nothin trump, and maga. Don’t forget buyers remorse, it really sucks!
As a Kansan, I’m usually embarrassed by our politics, so it’s amazing to see our Republican congress speaking out against the fuhrer and his goons.
$566M in US grown food is rotting in warehouses around the world.
If USAID isn’t purchasing that food, who will these farmers sell their crops to?
