Very disturbing

Warning!! Pete H is about to cut top 20 per of military services.

People are worried that Pete Hegseth is about to clear out top 20% military generals and positions of leadership so Trump can use the military to overturn the midterms.

Is that something you're concerned about?

NEW: As diesel prices hit record highs, Georgia GOP gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson admitted in court that the “America First Refining” oil refinery he co-owns with MAGA figures including Donald Trump Jr. is set to send its fuel to India, per AJC.

Pathological liars just can’t stop lying.

Trump: “I’m the only president that donated his salary. They pay me $550,000 a year.”

The presidential salary is $400,000. JFK and Hoover donated their salaries and didn’t rob the country blind.

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.

Sound efficient?

Pathetic...
El Magnífico Y Dorado Jefe Trump has a political philosophy that can be summarized using just two letters that I will let you supply.

Foreign aid from USA reduced by 56.5% from 2024 to 2025, down to 0.1% of GDP.

Foreign aid given as a share of national income
Official development assistance (ODA) divided by gross national income. From 2018, the official reporting method switched from net to grant-equivalent amounts.

Kinda weird you blocked me after I posted some facts...when your profile says "*If you block me after I educate YOU & prove YOU wrong using truth, fact, proof, evidence & reality….YOU are the problem!"

I didn't block you. Just responded to your challenges.

As an 🇺🇸 citizen, it is very bizarre to see POTUS honoring leaders of China, Russia, and Israel while bullying and insulting our allies. Are they soon to be our former allies?
I feel like Trump sets us up for isolationism and disaster by aligning us with people we cannot trust.

Another Trump sycophant in a position to do great harm to the health of Americans.
Fewer kids are getting the measles vaccine compared to just a few years ago. Instead of working to combat vaccine hesitancy, Trump is fanning the flames, and his nominee to lead the FDA is silent.

I'm not a fan of "patriotism", but let's see Ukraine push Russia back to its borders, returning ALL land siezed from Ukraine!
Zelenskyy: "For first time in Russia’s history, we now hear that its oil industry is running on fumes. Our target is Russia’s ability to finance this war, to drag it out, to make it more brutal & destructive. Russia’s finances & Russia’s production are what must be stopped if Putin is to be stopped”

More breaking the laws by trump today. He is completely lawless.
I don't have time to write more, but ICE is working to remove people to third countries in violation of D.V.D. v. DHS. I've been up since 5:20 A.M. working with two other attorneys to prevent our client from being shipped out. If you rep someone at risk of third country removal, check on them NOW
BREAKING: The plane appearing to have been scheduled to fly third-country nationals to 3 African countries today—before an appeals court prohibited it last night—has taken off, landed at Gitmo (Somalis in ICE camp there) and is now in San Juan, a common refueling stop for ICE flights to Africa.
