Under Trump and full Republican control, the Pentagon just told all U.S. military bases to prepare to be fully fortified for 90 days under the FORTRESS plan, but they didn’t tell the American people anything!
And they did this one week before the midterms.
Pretty much freaking everyone out because fortifying the military bases to operate independently with no connection to the outside world with the entire grid shut down seems like there will be no help for the American people.
Like nothing.
So basically that’s like saying, “You’re on your own.”
And these people actually want you to vote for them.
And why is everyone freaking out? Oh only because Trump has been basically saying he’s restarting the war with Iran that no one wants after midterms and now the Pentagon is fortifying U.S. bases.
You want people to vote for you?
Try instilling trust with the American people that you will ensure their safety, security, and prosperity.
Not sending the message that they are on their own to starve, freeze, or eat each other while you wage world war 3.
The fact that the head of the Ku Klux Klan can casually do an interview without being arraigned by the FBI for Hate Crimes and Domestic Terrorism is truly a slap in the face to all people of color in America
American military police tried to impose a colour bar on an English village in 1943.
The village's three pubs responded by putting up signs reading: BLACK TROOPS ONLY. Bamber Bridge, Lancashire.
Black American soldiers were stationed there and the locals liked them. When the US Army asked the village to segregate its pubs, the publicans complied in the most English way available — by barring the white Americans instead.
On the night of 24 June 1943, white American MPs came to arrest a Black soldier at Ye Olde Hob Inn for a uniform infraction. British civilians and British soldiers in the pub intervened and told them to leave him alone.
It escalated into a night of shooting between Black GIs and American MPs. One Black soldier, William Crossland, was killed.
Dozens were court-martialed. British witnesses testified about the MPs' conduct, and sentences were reduced. The US Army quietly reorganised how MPs were deployed in the area.
An English village looked at American segregation, understood it immediately, and refused to host it.
The pub is still there. The sign is part of local legend.
Karoline Leavitt is getting glowing reviews of her performance as press secretary when she dodged, attacked, and obfuscated for the most part. A few examples of the lies we heard: claiming the US spent $50M on condoms for Gaza, calling the Epstein files a 'hoax,' denying war plans were shared with Jeffrey Goldberg over Signal, branding Abrego Garcia a gang member with zero evidence, and insisting America is more affordable under Trump.
That's not a press secretary doing her job well. That's demeaning the press and calling the public insane for noticing the gaslighting.
$900 million for White House vanity projects? Approved.
$1 trillion tax cut for the 1%? Approved.
$1 trillion for war with Iran? Approved.
Lower grocery, housing or gas prices? Sorry, you're on your own.
Money for billionaires. Money for war. Nothing for working people.
What a nightmare. By implementing the tariffs illegally, and now having to unwind them, the Trump administration created over $100 billion of profit for corporations selling foreign products, at the expense of American consumers.
Your refund: $0.00
Apple’s profit: $2.2 billion
Netanyahu: I need $12 billion
Trump: Approved
Elon Musk: SpaceX needs $4.16 billion
Trump: Approved
Jeff Bezos: Amazon needs $17.5 billion
Trump: Approved
Top 1%: We need a $1 trillion tax cut
Trump: Approved
Average Joe: My wife has cancer. Can we get Medicaid?
Trump: Denied
MAGA cult members, remember when Trump personally awarded Dr. Anthony Fauci a Presidential Commendation for his work on Operation Warp Speed and the COVID vaccine?
Trump apparently didn’t.
When Megyn Kelly asked him about it, he claimed he had no idea who gave Fauci the award. Kaitlan Collins pulled the receipt: Trump himself issued it on January 19, 2021—his final full day in office.
Thanks, Kaitlan Collins. The internet never forgets, even when Trump does.
Screw your witch hunts — release the files!
Sen. Rand Paul is trying to use Fauci’s diary as evidence for his conspiracy theory. But all it really shows is that Fauci and other public health experts debated COVID’s origins before taking action — aka, they were doing science.
