“Where is Vader today?”
“He’s paying the Rebel Alliance $300 billion dollars after defeating them completely, every day for the last four months, sir.”

Hot take: No professional sports team should ever receive a single cent of public taxpayer money to build a stadium. If a team can afford a billion-dollar roster, they can afford their own real estate. Why are we still subsidizing billionaires?

Another great example of why this man isn’t fit to be president. The amount of disrespect he has for people and the office is really something.

Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview

Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.

Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.

Welker: Do you have evidence?

Trump: All I have to do is look.

Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow

Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.

It seems there is an entirely different set of rules for Republicans and Democrats.

Under any other president, this would be Scandal of the Year. Under Trump, it is merely the Scandal of the Hour.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Pete Hegseth—who never ranked higher than Major—is once again ignoring Generals' recommendations and denying merit-based promotions.

For all his bluster about bringing meritocracy back to our military, this unqualified SecDef keeps doing the opposite.

An insult to our troops.

“If we stop measuring climate change, there is no climate crisis”

“If we erase January 6th, it didn’t happen”

“If we don’t release certain inflation data, there’s no inflation”

“If we don’t measure food insecurity, no one’s hungry”

“If we delete research on right-wing violence, there’s no right-wing violence”

“If we stop Covid testing, we’ll have fewer cases”

The Trump administration is hiding data so you can’t truly see how corrupt and incompetent they are.

If you turned on the TV in another country and saw the leader's daughter-in-law giving him a softball interview on a major "news" channel, you would rightfully assume that country is a tinpot dictatorship.

Workers are now taking home the smallest percent of America's economic output since records began in 1947.

At the same time corporate profits are now at the highest point since 1950.

Good luck to our boys tennis athletes Eli Chavez, Dale Larson, Maddox Lundeen, & Derek Przybyla as they compete in the IHSA Tennis State Finals!

The Trump economy in a nutshell:

Corporate profits soar as workers’ incomes stay flat.

George Washington declined to be featured on currency when he was living, fearing it would be reminiscent of a monarch.

Congress in 1866 passed the Thayer amendment, which stated "no portrait or likeness of any living person shall be engraved or placed upon any of the bonds, securities, notes, or postal currency of the United States."

[Ken Martin @kenmartin73]

The most corrupt administration in history, and it’s not even close.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Donald Trump Jr takes a financial stake in a company…

3 months later, the Pentagon gives it $620 million…

after Trump’s White House told them to…

And the company’s valuation rose from
$200 million to $2 billion as a result.

This is corruption.

It might be hard to see from this picture today of the White House, but Donald Trump is very focused on lowering costs.

Breaking News: The Justice Dept. is said to have opened an investigation into E. Jean Carroll, who had accused Donald Trump of rape. In her civil case against him, a jury had found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll. https://t.co/DW2BiHgkfM

Breaking news: Trump administration officials have pressed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring the president’s portrait, in what would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years. https://t.co/S8sqdKSB7i

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
