The orange convicted felon has fired the Chair of the Kennedy Center and will dismiss the board as he installs himself as the new chair. He says he will dictate the institution’s art and culture and says it must reflect his choices.

Hitler took control of the Arts too.

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?

There is a coup of our government playing out in real time by Trump, Musk and the regime. Only the judicial branch is slowing them - that is not okay, or enough! We need to all be awake and engaged. We need new Senate leadership!

Open message to Elon Musk:

Rumors are swirling that you’re spending $40 million on Super Bowl ads targeting USAID. If there were truly fraud, wouldn’t you not need to spend millions trying to convince people?

Two twin real estate brothers named Alon and Oren Alexander who worked with both Crimestress Ivanka and her criminal slumlord Jared Kushner have been charged with raping 60 women. Both are prominent MAGA supporters.

Of course, not at all surprised.

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

Good for Mahomes to correct a lie. But it's too late. As the saying goes, "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes." Trump thrives on these situations.

Yesterday elected Democrats were blocked from entering a fourth federal agency building. This to me is literally the definition of a coup unfolding.

I am urging you all to pay attention, call your two Senators and Representative, especially if they are Republicans!

THIS IS EXACTLY right
"Regardless of Trump’s distractions, Democrats should constantly remind voters: 'We were promised 2019 prices out of the gate. That was the whole point. Where the hell are they? I just see Republicans gearing up to cut taxes for the wealthy, take health care from millions, and raise costs.'"

What happens after you ask Trump to ‘have mercy’? Threats, praise and hope.
It had been 12 days since the Episcopal bishop of Washington pleaded with President Donald Trump to “have mercy” on immigrants, LGBTQ children and others.

The best part about the orange felon folding under pressure to Canada and Mexico in just 48 hours is that both of our neighbors promised him things that were already promised under President Biden and was already going to happen. Art of the dumbass failed businessman.

For all we know, Musk could be selling any inside information from the US federal government or US citizens’ private info to China in exchange for enriching himself. Trump has left zero checks and balances to protect our country. This cannot stand!
