If you're the Qatari royal family worth $335 billion, Trump gives you an Air Force facility in Idaho.
If you're the President of Argentina, Trump gives you a $20 billion bailout.
If you're an American whose health care premiums are about to double? Tough luck.
Donald Trump and Russ Vought of Project 2025 are using this shutdown to inflict as much pain as they can.
They're withholding federal money that has already been approved by Congress to target and punish American communities.
This is illegal.
Today's the day: Your taxpayer dollars are now being used to fix up a “free” plane Qatar “gifted” to Donald Trump.
Up to $1 BILLION going to a plane that Trump's planning on keeping after he leaves office.
So much for getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse.
The President of the United States threatens to withhold federal funding from an American city if that city elects a mayor he doesn’t like. Utterly wrong. Utterly anti-democratic. An abuse of his powers of office. And not one Republican will say a thing. Do not normalize this.
@GLBC_Cleveland When will these hit the grocery stores? I’ve been checking for two weeks and no sign of them anywhere. Specifically looking for the Vibacious variety pack.
Those of you who don't know what authoritarianism looks like...this is it. All the gaslighting about previous presidents "what about...!!! Is bullshit. I've been talking about the slide towards NOW for 30+ years. Those earlier concerns were nothing. Now we are HERE.
For 30+ years conservatives told me they stood ready to oppose anyone who would endanger the Constitution. We will soon see whether they meant that or if there was an asterisk next to it that clarified: "only if that person is from a side of the political spectrum I don't like".
As we said in the last Common Sense (and as anyone paying attention already knows) POTUS' move in Los Angeles is designed to provoke. He WANTS the federally-controlled show of force & he wants the confrontation (hence the careful use of key words "insurrection" and "rebellion"...
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Lindsey Graham just blamed Donald Trump for the border security legislation not passing. Retweet so all Americans see this and know Donald Trump is to blame for any border security related problems
Dear Democrats:
Many Americans (myself included) will be voting Democrat for the first time in our lives this November.
We’re not doing this because we agree with Democrats on policy; we’re doing it because we understand the need to stop Trump from destroying our Constitution.
If you see us non-Democrat Kamala supporters on Twitter espousing beliefs you disagree with, like on taxes or guns or whatever, try to let it go. Don’t be jerks. Don’t disparage and argue, expecting us to toe the Democrat line, because we won’t. We’re not Democrats. Being hostile to us will backfire and endanger our alliance.
We’ve made common cause with you in this election because our democracy faces an existential threat. We agree Trump is dangerous and we want to work with you to defeat him. Let’s be grateful for this mutual cooperation.
We can go back to arguing and being opponents after November. Until then, we have a country to save.
Someone who says “I hate Donald Trump passionately,” and calls Trump a “demonic force,” and confesses that “he can’t wait to be able to ignore Trump,” and then goes on his show night after night and sings Trump’s praises is a fundamentally dishonest person, is a fraud.
We grieve for those lost and pray for those wounded in Louisville, the 146th mass shooting in our nation this year.
We need leaders with the courage to act. We can't fall for a false choice between upholding the 2nd Amendment and saving lives. We can do both.
“'Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation' was removed from a library at Vero Beach High School after the conservative group Moms for Liberty raised an objection. The school’s principal agreed with the objection, and the book was removed last month.”
