THE MOST CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION IN US HISTORY
"Federal officials admitted the $7.5 BILLION in cuts from clean energy projects begun under Biden were “based solely” on whether states had voted for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in 2024"

Congratulations to Andrew Harnik for winning an award at last night's White House Correspondents' Dinner for this incredible photo that perfectly captures the Trump presidency

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

And the Republicans have no constructive agenda. Just project 2025 which destroys America.

[Annie @AnnieForTruth]

Of course they did. 🤬

[Sherrod Brown @SherrodBrown]

When I say “the system is rigged,” this is what I mean:

As Schwebel’s closes down operations, laying off 673 Ohio-based employees and withholding the pensions and benefits they’ve earned, the owners are cashing in.

Ohioans need a senator who will stand up to the CEOs and corporations screwing over hardworking Ohioans, not one that will give them tax breaks.

[Ohio Dems @OHDems]

Gov. Strickland speaks out against Vivek Ramaswamy's vile ads:

"They are among the most disgraceful and dishonest attacks I have ever seen in my life. They are not just dirty politics. They are complete lies, and Ohioans deserve better."

Now would be a good time to remind everyone of these Trump facts, because apparently some people still need the refresher.
Ladies & Gentlemen;
Please meet the President of the United States:
Flew on Epstein’s plane at least seven times. Just friends, I guess.
Pleaded the Fifth more than 400 times in a single deposition. Nothing says “innocent” like refusing to answer a single question about your own business.
34 felony convictions. A record most people would call disqualifying.
91 criminal charges.
Accused of sexual misconduct or assault by at least 26 women. But sure, tell me again how he’s a great guy.
6 corporate bankruptcies. The self proclaimed greatest businessman alive somehow keeps running out of money.
5 draft deferments. Funny how the toughest guy in the room never actually showed up for duty.
4 criminal indictments. Not two. Not three. Four.
2 impeachments. A club of exactly one president.
2 of his own companies convicted of criminal tax fraud. Convicted. Not accused. Convicted.
1 fake university shut down. 1 fake charity shut down.
Even his charity was a grift.
Paid 25 million dollars to settle the Trump University fraud lawsuit because scamming people who believed in you costs money eventually.
Ordered to pay 5 million dollars in the first E Jean Carroll sexual abuse verdict, then hit with 83.3 million more in the second.
A jury said it twice so nobody could pretend it was a fluke.
Ordered to pay 2 million dollars for looting his own so called charity.
Stealing from a charity with his own name on it.
Found liable for business fraud and originally slapped with a penalty topping 450 million dollars, later thrown out on appeal while the fraud finding itself stuck to him anyway.
First president in modern history to increase the deficit every single year of a full term. Fiscal responsibility, apparently, was always just a talking point.
Kept the debt to GDP ratio above 100 percent for his entire first term.
Presided over the largest single day point drop in Dow Jones history at the time. So much for the guy who claimed to be a genius with money.
Set the record for the longest government shutdown in US history in his first term at 35 days, then couldn’t resist beating his own miserable record in his second term with a 43 day shutdown, followed by yet another shutdown just months later. Encore nobody asked for.
Added roughly 2.25 trillion dollars to the national debt in his first year back in office alone, pushing the debt past 39 trillion dollars.
Somebody remind me who the party of fiscal discipline is again.
Pushed through the largest defense budget increase since World War Two while the debt kept climbing anyway.
Purged more than 300,000 federal employees in his first year back.
Efficient, if your goal is chaos.
Pardoned nearly 1,600 January 6 Capitol rioters on his very first day back in office, including Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy.
Law and order, except when it’s inconvenient.
At least 40 of those pardoned rioters have already been rearrested, charged, or sentenced for new crimes since walking free. Shocking absolutely nobody.
His family’s crypto ventures, including a meme coin and World Liberty Financial, pulled in more than 1.4 billion dollars in disclosed earnings while he sat in the Oval Office.
Draining the swamp was apparently code for filling his own pockets.
Sent the National Guard into American cities at a cost of nearly 500 million taxpayer dollars in 2025 alone.
His own tariffs are projected to cost the average American household more than 2,500 dollars this year.
You’re paying for this. Not China. You.
Now sitting at one of the lowest approval ratings of his second term, stuck in the high 30s while inflation and gas prices make everyday life harder.
None of this is a conspiracy theory, a rumor, or something you saw in a group chat.
It is the actual, documented record, sitting in plain sight for anyone willing to look.
So, the next time someone tells you to relax and give him a chance, ask them how many more indictments, judgments, and shutdown records he needs to rack up before that chance runs out. VIA~ Debrina Elkins

James Talarico: "Young people voted for Donald Trump because they thought he was gonna lower costs, end forever wars, release the Epstein files, put working people first by draining the swamp.

On all counts he has done the exact opposite. He has raised prices, started new forever wars, done his best to keep the Epstein files redacted and hidden, and he has made the swamp even bigger in D.C. And so people are feeling disillusioned."

[Acyn @Acyn]

Kelly: The military does not need more testosterone. It needs better leadership. And that starts with the secretary of defense. It also starts with the commander in chief.

He's the one that hired Pete hegseth, who is the most unqualified individual we've ever had in this position by far. They're firing the wrong people. Pete Hegseth is firing people because they're women and they're black. The President should fire Pete hegseth.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Here’s how Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" works:

The richest 1% get $1 trillion in tax breaks.

Working families get $1.1 trillion in cuts to SNAP, Medicaid and other healthcare programs.

Tens of thousands will go hungry so the wealthy can get another tax break. Shameful.

CNN: An investigation finds that Trump cuts created a "perfect storm" for a slowed response to the Cyclospora outbreak. More than half of states are reporting Cyclospora infections. A former federal lab official said the cuts led to 'the loss of specialized staff needed to identify the source of the outbreaks.'

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨DEVASTATING: Oversight Chair Robert Garcia just ripped Donald Trump’s bloated ego to pieces.

“The biggest vandal in Washington DC is the President of the United States.”

“He’s corrupt, he’s incompetent, he’s ripping off the taxpayer… all for his own vanity and narcissism.”

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

MAGA Republicans are terrified of women voting. So they’re pushing the SAVE America Act to choke our registration, demand papers many don’t have, and purge us from the rolls. They fear our power, our rage, our turnout. We will not be silenced. Call 202-224-3121
