People can’t afford health insurance, inflation is through the roof, gas prices are soaring and immigrant children are locked in prison camps, but sure let’s do motorcycle flips on the lawn of the WH to celebrate an egotistical president‘s birthday.

This is a HEAVY quote here that many people need to hear

“If you disappear on a guy when he makes a mistake, I’m not so sure that’s a genuine relationship you built”

Let this sink in

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.

Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.

In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.

CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”

In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.

But censorship always backfires.

Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

REMINDER: “your energy bill within 12 months will be cut in half. I’ll have your energy bill down within 12 months, throughout the country."

It's been 13 months.
Electricity is UP over 11%.

Promise everything.
Deliver NOTHING.

🚨 NEW: Candace Owens says the Turning Point USA “halftime show” was staged weeks before the Super Bowl in Georgia with a paid audience ($250 each), multiple retakes per song, and guests told a “bigger than Kid Rock” performer was coming.

Astroturfed hype.

Jack Smith: "President Trump was charged because the evidence established that he willfully broke the law -- the very laws he took an oath to uphold. Grand juries in 2 separate districts reached this conclusion based on his actions. Rather than accept his defeat in the 2020, President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power. After leaving office in January 2021, President Trump illegally kept classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago social club and repeatedly tried to obstruct justice to conceal his continued retention of those documents. Highly sensitive national security information was held in a ballroom and bathroom."

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Listen to British member of Parliament Ed Davey completely tear Trump apart, calling him, the "most corrupt president America has ever seen" and "an international gangster":

"President Trump is acting like an international gangster, threatened to trample over the sovereignty of an ally, threatening the end of NATO altogether, and now threatening to hit our country and seven European allies with outrageous damaging tariffs unless he gets his hands on Greenland. This is an incredibly grave moment for the United Kingdom, Europe, and the world. He is a bully. The most corrupt president, the United States has ever seen. So there are only two ways to get him to back down: bribing him with a new jet, perhaps, or a few billion in his crypto account."

Bernice King: “The recent claim by President Trump that the 1964 Civil Rights Act harmed white Americans is just wrong and it’s dangerous. It re-writes history in a way that fuels fear and resentment. My father and so many leaders of the movement did not risk their lives to divide this nation. They did so because America was denying millions basic rights. The right to work, the right to vote, to live where they please, to move through society with dignity. The Civil Rights Act did not give black people special treatment. It made discrimination illegal. The same discrimination you’re trying to turn around and use.”

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.

[P a u l ◉ @SkylineReport]

An ICE prosecutor in Dallas, James Rodden, who was previously exposed for running a white-supremacist X account praising Hitler and calling America a “White nation,” is quietly back in immigration court. After the Texas Observer revealed his online activity last year, he was pulled from court schedules and Congress demanded an investigation. Immigration and Customs Enforcement promised a review within 120 days. That deadline blew past with zero public outcome.

Now Rodden has resurfaced at the prosecutor’s table, badge on, no explanation given. ICE refuses to comment. The account is still active, just locked. Bottom line: a government lawyer who openly promotes racist ideology appears to be prosecuting immigrants again, with no transparency, no accountability, and no evidence that ICE ever did what it claimed it would do.

Same system. Same silence. Same bullshit.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Read the whole thing, but here’s the gist: There was “proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the President of the United States committed crimes to overturn the results an American election and to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.”

Trump should be in jail. Happy New Year.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Lol, the truth hurts. @AGPamBondi was glazing Trump again with another lying sycophantic tweet, but the chart she attached stopped in Oct 2024, thus showing the great work done by Joe Biden. She later deleted her tweet.

Here is the screenshot of her deleted tweet.

.@SarahAMatthews1: "Trump saying that the Epstein files will hurt his friends flies in the face of everything that his movement has stood for. When he says that he would drain the swamp, that was a lie...He's protecting the perpetrators of this horrific abuse."

Jessica: You have the healthcare executive… orchestrated the largest fraud scheme in U.S. History, commuted by Trump… Trump University which had to pay $25 million settlement because it was a scam. Don't say this is a liberal problem if you don't want to look under the hood of your own car.

[Turnbull @cturnbull1968]

If you’re angry about the Minnesota day care fraud, the case below will really upset you.

Philip Esformes ran a massive nursing-home fraud scheme, bribing doctors to funnel patients and billing Medicare for unnecessary services for $1.2B.

He was pardoned by Trump in 2020.

[Maine @TheMaineWonk]

1962: JFK warns against lawless defiance. "If this country should ever reach the point where any man or group of men... can defy the commands of our court... then indeed the American experiment has failed."

2025: 63 years later, Trump is the embodiment of that warning.

[anyone_want_chips @anyonewantchips]

Barack Obama delayed refinancing his home during his term to avoid any appearance of profiting off the presidency. Trump is selling pardons for up to $6M a piece - because profiting off the presidency is all he cares about.
