If we could get every Dem, and any others who are currently leaning away from Trump, to yell, RABBIT, RABBIT, RABBIT, first thing upon waking on November 1, we could turn this boat around.

Trump spent his first four years as president clueless. During the next four years, he was able to see the opportunities he should have acted on. For the next few years, he plans to grift as much as he can fit into his tiny fists. We need to look out for each other, since no one else will.

The details keep coming out. We keep learning how Pete Hegseth put lives at risk. But Trump is still too weak to fire him.

@nytimes.com Please stop with this nonsense. An innocent man is imprisoned in El Salvador. SCOTUS told the government to bring him back. Trump refused. This is a got dam constitutional crisis and innocent lives are at stake. Grow some spine, Gray Lady!!!
NYT: "The White House scoffed at the prospect of returning a Maryland man who had been mistakenly deported, despite court orders urging it to pursue his return."
I'd like to draw your attention to the word "urging." Courts don't "urge." That's not how courts work, NYT. Stop laundering his fascism.
