Marjorie Taylor Greene: 'Trump texted me that if my son gets killed, I deserve it because I was a traitor to him. I'd probably get put in jail if I released the texts. That's our president'
MAGA was never about America. It was about one man's ego - and everyone who crosses him learns the hard way
Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."

We’ve all seen the video. An ICE officer shot Renee Good as she tried to drive away—then agents rendered no aid and left the scene.

The pregnant woman that was knocked down and dragged by ICE by handcuffs in the snow after she pleaded with them to stop because she was pregnant lost her baby! She’s one of at least three we know of! 🤬
I am deeply alarmed by reports that the Trump administration plans to pull funding for freight safety and dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). NCAR is a global leader in earth systems science, and its work is essential to protecting lives, strengthening our economy, and helping communities prepare for extreme weather and climate impacts.
DO NOT SKIP. IT’S A SIGN ✨
