Ronald Reagan: “You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman…But Anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American…This, I believe, is one of the most important sources of America's greatness.”🇺🇸
When the country finds out how many children Trump raped, along with the details, know that Republican lawmakers already knew about all of it, and worked overtime to help him get away with it.
Just got off the phone with my college roommate.
His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.
He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.
7 months later:
Savings: wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren’t their problem.
He told me he’s not the same person anymore.
Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn’t go away.
They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.
One diagnosis undid all of it in 7 months.
And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting a $30 million bonus this quarter.
I don’t know how people defend this system with a straight face.
I really don’t.
One billionaire family controls the bridge that carries 25% of all U.S.–Canada trade.
The good news? There's a brand new public bridge right next door (and Canada paid for the whole thing).
The bad news? Donald Trump won't let it open.
Here's the story:
For more than a decade, Michigan and Canada worked together to build a new public crossing right next to it — six lanes over the Detroit River, named for a Canadian-born Red Wings legend, built by thousands of union workers. Canada paid the entire bill. Michigan co-owns it. It's finished. It’s a shining example of international cooperation and collaboration, with a tremendous return for both sides: more jobs, faster trade, and lower costs.
So why isn't it open?
Because the Moroun family, who own the rival Ambassador Bridge just up the river, doesn’t want the competition. They spent years and tens of millions of dollars trying to stop any competing international crossing from being built or opening. They lost. So they went to the White House instead.
In January, Matthew Moroun gave $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. Then the billionaire called Trump's Commerce Secretary and, just hours later, Trump suddenly attacked the same publicly owned bridge he praised in his own first term and threatened to block it.
Then, the day before the June 12th ribbon-cutting, the opening was called off indefinitely.
It's corruption so flagrant it would be laughable if it weren't so damaging.
Trump is screwing over Michiganders for the interests of billionaires — holding a finished, publicly owned project hostage to protect one donor's toll booth.
So a finished bridge sits closed, Michiganders keep paying the higher tolls, cars and trucks cost more, and a billionaire family keeps its monopoly.
Mr. President: stop playing games. Open the damn bridge.
Lieu: Trump overpaid on a no-bid contract to a pool guy who was a total amateur and messed up the Reflecting Pool, and now Trump’s fragile ego has him trying to cover this up by saying someone did a 350-foot gash in the pool. This pool has 24/7 cameras on it. So we’re in a place where the president is just lying because he can’t handle that he totally screwed up the Reflecting Pool.
They never found a single Haitian immigrant eating cats and dogs.
They never identified the two pilots who were supposedly shot down and rescued.
They never produced the evidence that the 2020 election was stolen.
And they’re never going to find the Reflecting Pool slasher.
MAGA is a bunch of fucking idiots who will literally believe anything.
I saw a comment saying the U.S. is the only country in the World Cup without universal healthcare. And I was like nahhh no way that's accurate.
20 seconds on the world wide web later, THE UNITES STATES IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD CUP WITHOUT UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.
So the ballroom is a fiasco, the reflecting pool is a fiasco, the Iran war is a fiasco—the Trump administration is a fiasco.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The NYT bombshell confirms what we already know. It’s not conjecture. It’s not a fabrication. It’s not a “Hoax.” Donald trump is a child-raping pedophile & the entire republican party is engaged in the most massive coverup in history to prevent the world from realizing this fact.
VOTE: Mike Johnson can't cut Social Security if he's not the Speaker of the House. Vote against every-single-republican. As if your Social Security depended upon it.
SECONDS AFTER THE NEW EPSTEIN INFO CAME OUT DONALD TRUMP STARTED TO BOMB IRAN AGAIN 🤷
HE'S KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE TO COVER UP HIS INVOLVEMENT IN A PEDOPHILE RING 🤬
IMPEACH REMOVE AND LOCK UP ✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊���
We had press releases about this, we showed it all to you with their laid-out plan in Project 2025... people scoffed at us.
Well, here is Mike Johnson saying Republicans will cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security next year.
Good luck.
Mike Johnson, you little weasel.
You come for our social security, ALL of America is coming for you.
That is OUR money.
That is OUR future.
That is OUR safety net.
Don't you fucking touch it.

IMAGINE THE OUTRAGE IF A FEMALE PRESIDENT DEMOLISHED THE WHITE HOUSE, CRASHED THE ECONOMY AND STARTED A WAR WITH NO END IN SIGHT, AND HER ONLY CONCERN WAS BUILDING A BALLROOM/BUNKER AND PUTTING HER NAME ON EVERYTHING 🤷
When people say "I'd do anything for my child," everyone praises them, but when a parent risks crossing a border to save their child from war, poverty, or danger, suddenly they're treated like criminals.
It's WILD, Kevin Hassett was asked about Americans delinquent on their credit card bills because they're paying for necessities, and his concern ISN'T for Americans: "It's OK, no threat to the credit card companies."
TONE. DEAF.
The sitting president of the United States sent lawyers from our department of justice to make sure our former Attorney General didn’t answer any questions about his potential involvement in a child sex trafficking ring.
But sure, nothing to see here, right?
