Trump told you he’d run America like a business.

He is.

It’s called asset stripping. You go in, sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, & walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag.

Venture capitalist politics.

Look if you think it’s fine for Trump to corruptly get a red card revoked (or “suspended”) bc FIFA is already corrupt, maybe you understand the MAGA mindset better than you think. “All politicians are corrupt so it’s ok for Trump to be corrupt” is a very common maga rationalization

This is point blank a desecration of the White House!

Trump is using the South Lawn prime location to set up for the UFC fight, which is illegal to do.

The White House is NOT his damn house! 🤬

The GOP is working on a reconciliation bill that could give ICE and Border Patrol up to $140 billion more to fund concentration camps and militarized deployments to US cities. It’s vital that Republicans hear from constituents now.
Tell Your Republican Members of Congress: Not One Penny More for ICE Brutality
Email your Republican Members of Congress and urge them to vote NO on any budget reconciliation bill that will shovel more taxpayer dollars to ICE and Border Patrol.

If Democratic candidates don’t use Republicans in Congress forcing taxpayers to pay a billion dollars for Trump’s ballroom against them bigly in the midterms it will be political malpractice.

Even Republicans don't support Trump's Big, Ugly, Bloated War budget.

$1.5 TRILLION for war while he cuts investments here at home? Absolutely not.

I'm tearing up his budget to write a new one that actually invests in America and our families.

A room full of the most powerful people in politics and media presumed they were being attacked by an active shooter. They dove under tables and texted loved ones. They feared for their lives. And somehow, not a damn thing will be done by them to push for gun reform tomorrow morning. America.

“In his manifesto, he wrote 'I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist & traitor to coat my hands with his crimes...’”

and still, they threw him out

Orban Falls: a Huge Win For Accountability and a Big Loss for MAGA

Orban, who was described as "Trump before Trump," falls after a massive, organized resistance to his corrupt, authoritarian 16-year rule. What does this mean for MAGA & global right-wing movements?

When Trump needed the conspiracy-theorizing masses of Alex Jones in his coalition, he was fine with Jones' Sandy Hook denial. Now that Alex Jones has shown disloyalty to *him,* suddenly Trump professes to care about it.

This gets at MAGA's deepest perversities.

I think not enough people understand that the pushback against renewables and EV's is money.

Without getting too in the weeds: renewables cannot ever be as profitable as oil and gas.

EV's don't make as much money as gas guzzlers.

That's it. That's all you really need to know.
