In 2024, we warned of the darkness of a future Trump dictatorship. Jailing leaders of American cities, disappearing dissenters, and using military force to harm Americans. That future is on our doorstep.
But we can stop it. Don't be afraid to exercise your power and tell Trump enough is enough.

For the democrats saying “we can’t let the govt shut down” you’ve already lost. It’s not on you.
Republicans control everything, didn’t come to you for anything except your vote. Where else can you force changes? You can’t… you’re a willing participant in Republican majority

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States.
If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does.
Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

Of course Trump will screw over Ukraine. Of course he’ll sell out Ukraine. Trump is working for & negotiating on behalf of Putin. That’s always been the case.
It’s up to the rest of the free world to tell Trump & Putin to go fuck themselves. It’s up to the rest of the free world to defend Ukraine.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

1) It said only 500 employees had been placed on leave. Actual number was 2,140.
2) Said only future contracts were stopped. Existing contracts were also stopped.

The paper straw is actually a perfect metaphor for some of the policies and institutions democrats embrace.
Feels good for the base, but deeply unpopular, doesn’t actually fix the problem while also somehow being worse than what it replaces
