Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime - they are simply trying to find one.

He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President.

He hates that I consistently call him out. He is simply the most corrupt President in American history.

We have nothing to hide. 

Mr. President, come after me. I am not going anywhere. 

The country is watching.

Many Americans today have mixed opinions about Barack Obama. Some admire him, others criticize him. But for those of us who come from outside, the reality is often different.
Believe it or not, no American president has ever left such a strong impression around the world as Barack Obama. He embodied hope, respect, intelligence, and dialogue. He represented a powerful image of America: open, inspiring, and close to the people.
For many of us, Obama was not just a president; he was a symbol. A symbol that everything is possible, that social background, skin color, or personal history should never be limits.
He restored confidence to millions of young people around the world. He spoke to the world with dignity, calm, and responsibility. He knew how to unite instead of divide.
No matter the internal political debates, internationally, Barack Obama will forever remain one of the most respected, loved, and admired American presidents.
His legacy goes beyond borders. And his name will remain engraved in history.

After ICE agents ate lunch at a Minnesota Mexican restaurant, they went back and arrested three of the restaurant's employees.

I don’t know that you can reform that kind of cruelty.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

True American 🇺🇸Patriot!!!

Bruce Springsteen isn't holding back-this is his warning to America.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

In one of the most pathetic and humiliating moments in history, Trump just received the new inaugural FIFA Peace Prize.

They literally invented a “peace prize” to keep him happy after he didn’t receive the actual Nobel Peace Prize. Beyond parody

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: HOLY SH*T — ROBERT DE NIRO JUST WENT NUCLEAR ON LIVE TV AND DROPPED THE MOST BRUTAL TRUTH BOMB ABOUT TRUMP WE’VE HEARD YET

“This man is an alien… he wants to HURT this country… there’s something deeply psychological in him where he gets off on causing pain.”

Doubling down on Newsom's "An INVASIVE SPECIES!!!" comment!

De Niro didn’t hold back:
- Called Trump’s cabinet picks “sociopaths and enablers”
- Branded Stephen Miller a straight-up “NAZI”
- Warned America: “DO NOT get used to this… this is REAL danger”
- Praised NY AG Letitia James as an American HERO for fighting Trump in court

He’s 100% right. This isn’t politics anymore — it’s a malignant, vindictive wannabe dictator surrounded by the worst people on earth getting ready to burn our democracy to the ground for revenge and profit.

The same people who spent years screaming “F*ck your feelings” are now crying because a legendary actor told the truth on morning television.

Sorry snowflakes — when you elect a psychopath who brags about terminating the Constitution, you don’t get to whine when real patriots sound the alarm.

Watch every second of De Niro’s righteous rage below and share if you’re with Bobby D:

We will NEVER normalize fascism. Not today. Not ever. 🇺🇸

WE MADE IT — AND WE’RE NOT BACKING DOWN.

The Indiana Pacers took a tough loss in Game 3 — but the fire isn’t out. The fight is still alive. And Game 4 is our moment to bounce back and protect the city.

Turn up the official anthem of the playoffs — “We Made It” by Cash Tank —

Wow wtf is he doing

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump on Liz Cheney: "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

.@KamalaHarris will be a president for all Americans. She actually cares about making your lives better. Donald Trump only thinks about himself.

I want you to remember this: if someone doesn’t respect you, they should not represent you. That’s not what you need in your life. And we don’t need Donald Trump leading our country for another four years.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

“Soooo you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chained to other human bodies for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs and traditions, picked up the English language as best they could while working free of charge from sunup to sundown as they watched babies sold from out of their arms and women raped by ruthless slave owners.

Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind, braved the Underground Railroad, survived the Civil War to enter into sharecropping... Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced the burning crosses of the KKK, everted their eyes at the black bodies swinging from ropes hung on trees... Fought in World Wars as soldiers to return to America as boys, marched in Birmingham, hosed in Selma, jailed in Wilmington, assassinated in Memphis, segregated in the South, ghettoed in the North, ignored in history books, stereotyped in Hollywood... and in spite of it all someone in your family line endured every era to make sure you would get here and you receive one rejection, face one obstacle, lose one friend, get overlooked, and you want to quit? How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down!

Give this to your young people who don’t know their history and want to get weak!

It is NOT in our DNA to quit!”
