The trump cuts in NOAA NIOSH NIH CDC NPS hurt a lot of families and only actually save a relatively small amount of money. To really save you need to go after big fish like defense. But that’s getting more $. It’s almost like the point isn’t to save money it’s to hurt people, oh
America 250 was going to be like a World Fair that would have attracted millions of people.
But Trump stole the money, denied permits, & renamed it Freedom 250 so he could make it all about himself & Republicans.
Trump stole America's Birthday from you! 🤬
All over the beautiful DC mall are random barriers and fences so tall you can’t see over them. It’s hard to get around and it’s ugly. Nothing says “freedom 250” like miles and miles of hideous fences and barriers and soldiers. I guess that’s what Trump likes…
Trump was actually 17-18 in this photo. His parents sent him to a military boarding school for behavioral issues & bullying. Now he uses the photo to pretend he was in the military.
How do you fuck up the 250th this badly?
It’s such an easy win. An average Summer day on the Mall is a hundred times more full. You have to work to make it this empty.
This regime is such a bizarre tragicomedy.
Attention ABC and CBS: This is how you handle it when a fascist is pushing you around. You don’t cave in, fire people, cancel shows, and give him loads of cash to make him leave you alone. You fucking fight back.
The Buttigiegs have experienced a nightmare that should never have happened at all.
I hope whoever is responsible is found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. https://t.co/mFaGCzZYJB
This is the food court at Trump’s “Great American State Fair.” There’s nowhere to sit or eat here or anywhere in the entire fair. Families are literally sitting on the dirty ground to eat lunch.
It’s a fucking Trump rally with $25 pretzels, no tables to eat at, empty exhibits, public baptisms (not kidding), 4th tier musicians and a broken Ferris wheel. You should’ve left it nonpartisan. #ETTD
What the BBC did. They played clips of Trump out of chronological order. He complained. They apologised. That should have been it. But he sued them for $10 billion.
So the BBC is going to fully litigate all of Trump's actions surrounding the attack on the Capitol.
Excellent.
Just a reminder that Rep Lauren Underwood is the beating heart of the Democratic party. She’s ushered 19 bills into law; she consistently wins in a swing district; she’s a leader on maternal health, particularly for Black women; and she has one of the strongest constituent-service operations in Congress.
And she’s not even 40 years old…
