Doris Miller had no gunnery training. He was a mess attendant — that’s all the Navy let Black sailors be in 1941. When the bombs hit Pearl Harbor, he ran toward the guns anyway, dragged wounded men to safety, and fought back until he ran out of ammo.
He was the first Black American ever awarded the Navy Cross.
Donald Trump got four draft deferments and a “bone spurs” diagnosis nobody can find a doctor’s name attributed to. He has never worn the uniform, never taken fire, never done a single thing that required courage. Ever.
The Navy named a future carrier after Miller in 2020 — first ever named for an enlisted sailor, first for a Black American. Now they’re reportedly considering stripping his name off it to put Trump’s on instead.
A coward’s name, on a hero’s ship. That should make everyone sick.
Doris Miller was an American hero who ran toward danger. Donald Trump was a draft dodger who ran from service.
Replacing Miller’s name with Trump’s is an insult to a historic legacy of courage and sacrifice, all to feed one man’s ego.
A DRAFT DODGER WHO CALLED SOLDIERS SUCKERS AND LOSERS AND RECENTLY CALLED US SAILORS LIARS WANTS TO PUT HIS NAME ON AMERICAS NEW AIRCRAFT CARRIER INSTEAD OF THE BLACK NAVY HERO IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE NAMED AFTER 🙄 IM SO SICK AND TIRED OF THIS NIGHTMARE 🤦
RETWEET if you support @KristenhCNN after Donald Trump attacked her and telling her to be “QUIET”
Not one reporter in the Oval Office defended her!
They should be ashamed of themselves for not defending her.
Why is the U.S. giving Israel $3 billion a year for “infrastructure,” when remote locations on the Navajo Nation reservation lack basic running water and electricity?
Andy Beshear laid out what his recent executive order on Data centers would look like:
1. No energy rate increase on locals
2. Must be environmentally friendly
3. They must pay their fair share of taxes
4. Must receive local approval
Andy states that this must be a local decision rather than a government decision.
Your doctors went through 10+ years of medical school. Trump and RFKjr went through illicit drugs and their family’s money. Vaccines are safe. Stop listening to the anti-science crowd.
Warnock: I don’t know how you hold hands with your fellow legislators and say a long prayer and then vote to cut a trillion dollars out of Medicaid.
There ought to be a connection between what you say on Sunday and what you do on Monday.
This is massive by 🇺🇸 Abdul El-Sayed 🔥
🇺🇸Trump at 6:00 PM: "Abdul is a disaster. He hates Israel and loves Hamas."
🇺🇸Abdul at 7:00 PM: "I condemned Hamas on day one. Yes, they committed war crimes. But why can’t you say Israel committed genocide? You won’t, because you’re funding it with our tax dollars."🔥🔥
Abdul absolutely cooked Donald trump 👏
What a sad state our country is in when the Senate has to debate whether a President’s former personal lawyer—who has led the burying of the Epstein Files and promised to make Trump immune from tax crimes—should be our nation’s highest law enforcement officer.
A VP threatening to crack down on fraud all the while his president boss has IRS immunity and has lost his Capital One accounts because of money laundering. How is this real?
Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."
WHOA!!! Cory Booker unleashed absolute HELL on the Judiciary Committee floor as they voted to advance Todd Blanche to the Senate. 💥
No fluff, zero filter, just pure real-time accountability.
That's the fire we need. 🔥🍿
