It’s the most destructive and weak American foreign policy in history:
- Surrendering to Taliban
- Surrendering to Iran
- Bending knee to Russia
- Bending knee to China
- Attacking NATO & weakening alliances
- Pretending to end 8 wars & world thinking you lost the 1 you started
The Trump DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases in the first six months of Trump's second term — abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases, according to an analysis by ProPublica. https://t.co/VQx91zzkZ8
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
Trump didn’t fire Kristi Noem because she failed to respond to the floods in Texas which claimed the lives of at least 100 people.
He didn’t fire her because Americans were murdered by her rabid masked goons.
He didn’t fire her for posing for photos in front of human beings in cages like they were livestock.
He didn’t fire her for racially profiling Latinos, African-Americans, Arab Americans and Asian Americans.
He didn’t fire her because she was arresting legal permanent residents and US citizens and detaining them illegally.
He didn’t fire her because she was keeping children in fetid, rancid concentration camps without access to clean water, fresh food or medical care.
He didn’t fire her for turning our cities into militarized war zones.
He fired her because she made him “look bad.”
That was the red line.
None of the other things were.
Hours before SOTU, the public is learning that DOJ appears to have withheld and removed Epstein-file records tied to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor.
This is a Watergate-level scandal unfolding in real time.
They want us to understand that if you record what they are doing, you can be beaten, arrested or killed.
The United States government under Donald Trump wants us to be afraid of documenting their actions.
But tell me again how it’s the “libs” who are coming for your freedoms.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
George Orwell, 1984
Five years ago today, our nation and our democracy experienced one of its darkest days. A violent mob incited by President Trump ransacked the Capitol to stop the certification of a free and fair election. Brave police officers were beaten, crushed, bear sprayed, and maced while defending our democracy. The halls of Congress were desecrated, and the certification of the election was delayed.
As tragic as that day was, equally so have been the events that followed. Later that night, with blood still staining the Capitol grounds, many of the President’s allies still voted against certifying the election. And in the past year, the President and his allies in Congress have intensified their effort to obliterate the memory of that day and rewrite history to falsely portray a violent, anti-democratic insurrection as a patriotic expression of love.
The President’s first day back in the Oval Office was punctuated by his decision to pardon or grant clemency to every single insurrectionist who violently attacked the Capitol, including those who beat and gouged police officers. Since then, he has placed fellow election deniers into key administration roles, and his Justice Department has fired or demoted the prosecutors and investigators who were doing their jobs by holding violent attackers accountable.
The insurrection and attack on the U.S. Capitol were among the most dangerous threats to the rule of law in America since our nation’s founding. And the effort to condone that violence has only magnified the danger. We must never allow the truth of what happened five years ago today to be forgotten or rewritten, and must remain ever vigilant against efforts to undermine the principle at the heart of our democracy — that every vote counts.
Trump is *why* the Founding Fathers created a gov’t with 3 branches & checks & balances. The submissiveness of congressional Republicans to Trump is why we’re here. That’s why the 2026 midterm elections are so important.
“Donald Trump has destroyed the White House to demonstrate to the whole world that he can do what he wants, whenever he wants, to whatever, or whomever he wants.”
