@MarySmi20473069 @LongTimeHistory NO ONE can randomly walk into a place a business and start asking for Identification. That is illegal. Making up that we think we see someone, is still not a legal justification. ICE was breaking the law by going into a private business PERIOD.

SICKENING: AOC Just showed off the Georgia drinking water from Meta's AI Data Centers. Thank you @AOC:

"This is the current drinking water in Morgan County, Georgia. Right after a data center was constructed, the metadata center was constructed, the only difference between the clean water and this was that data center. I have another one as well. So this wasn't just one well, these wasn't just one family's situation. This is what the drinking water now looks like next to that data center. And I think both of us can agree that neither one of these things are drinkable. These families now have to ship, in a rural area, have to ship water to their house in order to cook and bathe themselves."

BREAKING: Trump whines to Hannity he can’t brag about profiting off the Iran war because of “the little man with the $4 gasoline”!

In a rare moment of self-awareness, Donald Trump admitted to Sean Hannity that he’s holding back from openly celebrating huge profits from the Iran War, because Americans are getting crushed by $4-a-gallon-and-rising gas.

Trump complained:

“I don’t want to say we’re making a fortune … because if I say it, they’re going to say, ‘He forgets about the little man with the $4 gasoline.’”

And who exactly is "we" making a fortune?

We'll venture a guess and say it's Trump's billionaire buddies in the defense and oil industries who are cleaning up on government contracts, and will be happy to throw a sliver in campaign contributions and contracts to firms where his family members are "special advisors."

But he’s bummed he can’t openly brag about it because working the country full of suckers and losers are suffering at the pump as a direct result of his foreign policy disasters.

The condescension of referring to struggling, hard working Americans as “the little man” is just breathtaking.

Trump is so out of touch that he’s complaining about not being able to gloat publicly about war profits, which is what he so wants to do but is being told by his handlers to keep his fat yap shut.

The “little man” he mocks is exactly who’s getting hurt by his tariffs, wars, and failures of leadership. Instead of trying to lower costs for working families, Trump is upset that their pain is stopping him from doing his victory dance on television.

The man is literally worried about not getting a “win” out of the stupid war while families are choosing between filling up their tank and filling up their fridge. To him, it's annoying PR problem, not a real crisis hurting millions of his constituents.

The “little man with the $4 gasoline” – that’s you and us, folks – deserves a president who actually cares about their struggles, not a total douchebag who sees them as an inconvenience to his bragging rights.
If you’re disgusted by Trump’s total detachment from the lives of working Americans, like and share this post.

We had this conversation in a public hearing a week ago and you said it would take “years” to replenish some of these stockpiles. That’s not classified, it’s a quote from you. This war is coming at a serious cost and you and the president still haven’t explained to the American people what the goal is.

SHOULDNT IT BE A BIGGER STORY THAT THE US PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY SOLD A NONE EXISTENT PHONE AND IS NOW TELLING EVERYONE THAT PAID FOR IT THAT THERE IS NO PHONE AND NO REFUND 🙄
THE US PRESIDENT IS RUNNING HIS CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION FROM INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE AND IT IS A HORRIFIC LOOK FOR AMERICA 🤷

California’s wealth tax would cost Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang $8 Billion.

His response was simple: “I don’t mind paying taxes.”

“Once a year we get a bill, we pay it, and it’s big. I never once thought about it.

We love this country. That’s our way of giving back.”

Carrying a fetus to bury a baby is Texas’ motto.

At 20 weeks Kylie Beaton’s fetus was diagnosed with alobar holoprosencephaly, where the two hemispheres of the brain don’t properly divide. Babies with this diagnosis are often stillborn or die soon after birth.

Since Kylie wasn’t severely ill and because the fetus had a heartbeat Texas forced her to carry the fetus to term.

Kylie and her husband tried to have an abortion out of state. However, the fetus’s head was enlarged due to its condition, and the only clinic that would perform the abortion charged up to $15,000.00.

Kylie gave birth to Grant. The baby cried constantly and wouldn’t eat. It couldn’t be held upright as that would put too much pressure on his head.

For four days Kylie watched Grant suffer, then she watched him die.

Trump is happy he delivered the blow to Roe.

Republicans don’t care one bit that Grant suffered. Cried in agony. They don’t care that Kylie and her husband will never recover from this ordeal.

Republicans care about power and control.

@yarnell13170 @DemocraticWins None. Over the many many years of checking the number of non citizens registered to vote has been .01%. And there are no records of any of them voting. Even the Right Wing groups who are desperately trying to find non citizens voting are coming up empty handed. So NONE, period.

Are you experiencing high gas prices and grocery prices?

Are you having trouble paying your bills?

If so, the President just made fun of you and thinks your concerns about affordability are “bullshit.”

November is coming.

I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna be nicer about this. Neocon boomers are mortgaging my generations future by amassing trillions in debt, turning America into a pariah on the global stage, and getting our troops killed for another failing war.

I have to watch these neocons lie about the state of this war on TV every single day. Then, the moment I push back and assertively ask, “hey, what’s the actual goal here?” I have a legion of neocon boomers telling me I should know my place. Or I should wait my turn to talk with the grown ups.

Fuck that, genuinely.

I’m not claiming to have all of the answers or be all knowing. But young people deserve a seat at the table to fight for our interests as well. 95% of media is made up of boomers in suits who created these problems, and being nicer isn’t going to fix them.

Not for a storm — but to redraw maps so he can ERASE a historically Black district.

BREAKING: Fox News just reported that Pete Hegseth fired United States Secretary of the Navy John Phelan because Phelan would not ignore a federal judge's orders!

"Hegseth and Phelan reportedly butted heads when Phelan refused to ignore a recent federal judge’s ruling that said punishing Senator Mark Kelly for making a video which he reminded military officers of their constitutional duty to not to not follow illegal orders would violate his First Amendment rights."
