Pete called this out on Kimmel too. ⬇️
Trump is happy to hand out a pardon to the convicted ex-President of Honduras, $20 billion to Argentina, and favors to whoever will give him Venezuelan oil.
But if you're just a regular American, Trump has nothing for you.
Q: "Trump…said the U.S. is going to run Venezuela. Under what legal authority?"
Rubio: *doesn't answer*
Q: " Let me ask the question again, what is the legal authority for the United States to be running Venezuela?"
Rubio: *doesn't answer*
When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?
I went to the Senate floor to lay out for my colleagues the stunning story of brazen, open corruption during the first 6 weeks of the Trump presidency.
I think it's a story everyone needs to know.
1/ So a🧵with the highlights from the speech.
Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."
The Mexican President, American President and Canadian Prime Minister signing the USMCA trade deal in 2019. Donald Trump said this week that tariffs on Canada will have to be instituted because this trade deal was “signed by a previous administration and leader who was a fool”.
In RFK Jr.’s first statement since becoming HHS Secretary, he applauded Trump dismantling USAID, calling it “a sinister propagator of totalitarianism and war across the globe.”
His uncle, President John F. Kennedy, created USAID 64 years ago.
What a disgrace to his family.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” -Theodore Roosevelt
Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."
🚨NEW: Former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger slams Trump for abandoning Ukraine: “You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit.”
RETWEET if you stand with @Kinzinger against Donald Trump!
Only an idiot would think we should eliminate:
- Emergency response in natural disasters
- Education and healthcare for disabled children
- Clean air and water programs
- Gang crime investigations
- Monitoring of nursing home abuse
- Nuclear reactor regulation
- Cancer research
Finnish journalist @MikkoMarttinen2 has a much simpler explanation for Trump's recent speeches:
"Trump, 78, is the most dim-witted president of modern US history, and old age has made him even dumber."
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jasmine Crockett exposes near $1 billion in new contracts for Musk in just 2 weeks: "This is nothing more than a money grab. He's not out there trying to save money for the American people, he's lining his pockets."
SAY IT LOUDER! Senator and educator from Hawaii Brian Schatz has hit the nail on the head! It’s never been about the price of eggs or gas; it’s about how Americans are being gaslit!
While “Trump and his billionaire friends are ripping us off,” too many are blind to the real issue. Time to wake up and hold the powerful accountable!
No FEMA, IRS, NIH, CDC or FDA.
No infrastructure.
No public education.
No environmental protections.
No workplace safety.
No veterans affairs.
No co-equal branches.
No transparency.
No oversight.
They’re not planning on actually governing. They never were.
The plan is to rule.
