2025: NOW WITH MORE "Actively trying to oppose our orange idiot leader!' 🤮
Trump swung the pendulum hard in his direction. Now it's swinging back the other way HARD. C'mon America, Let's use this momentum to push this country into the modern age.

Tax billionaires, put some environmental regulations back in place, and let's start treating humans like humans again.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

It is beyond stupid to me that Tesla is now going "hurry up and buy a Tesla before the credit runs out!" when the reason the tax credit is disappearing is that the CEO of Tesla helped a big orange idiot take office.

Elon Musk will never do the one thing he has to do to restore Tesla's brand image: admit he was wrong in supporting Trump, apologize, and devote himself to solving climate change like he promised at the start of Tesla.
July 25, 2025 at 4:55 AM
If people at Tesla really thought Elon Musk coming back to devote full time to Tesla was going to save them from Musk destroying his image by allying himself with the fossil fuel industry supported Trump... They're delusional.

For every federal $ spent, ENERGY STAR saves consumers $350 -- but the Trump Administration wants to get rid of it. To quote Sen. Whitehouse, “It's yet another giveaway to polluters and a raw deal for working families.”

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

Utter failure of our media, our institutions, and our people.
He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution.

Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.”

Translation: No.

Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

President Trump has signed an executive order aimed at making it easier for companies to mine the deep seafloor.

This involves giant machines vacuuming up nodules with metals, creating plumes of sediment.

Scientists say it could have devastating effects on ecosystems and the fishing industry. ⬇️

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been sitting in a Salvadoran prison for over a month because the Trump Admin made a mistake.

Now, the Admin is defying SCOTUS & refusing to bring him back.

If we allow Trump to violate Kilmar's rights, none of our rights are safe.

Kilmar is all of us.
BREAKING

The President of El Salvador says he will not be releasing Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

“How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?”

The Supreme Court recently ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his return.

(Abrego-Garcia was never convicted of terrorism)
