The U.S. Constitution explicitly places sovereignty not in a divinity, but in “We, the People.”
This un-American attack on religious freedom must be stopped.

While Oklahomans struggle with housing and healthcare, their Republican legislators passed a resolution declaring "Christ is King."
It solves nothing. It helps no one.
Democrats used their time to point that out. (There's video.)

Is planting trees 'DEI'? Trump administration cuts nationwide tree-planting effort

Yes, because he's incompetent
Trump promised MAGA he'd lower prices, "take other countries' jobs," and put America first.
LIES, LIES, LIES!
Prices are soaring, he's taking our U.S. jobs (by the MILLIONS), the stock market is crashing, and he's sticking it to AMERICAN families in every way possible!
The #SOTU is criminal. 🤬

My sister's neighbor is a research Dr. that works for the VA and Univ of Ark Med Sciences. He's getting cut from the VA due to DOGE. He's spent years developing mice to use in dementia studies and they will be lost to science. Cutting first and asking questions later is horrible mismanagement.

To the rest of the world outside of the USA, Trump won the election with 49.8% of votes cast. He was not the choice of the majority of Americans. His behavior is not representative of the majority.

Let's be unambiguous here. Russia clearly invaded Ukraine and should withdraw immediately to pre-invasion borders.

This is telling. Trump won't condemn an authoritarian aggressor because he wants to be an authoritarian himself.
