Donald Trump was going to take money out of grandma's Social Security check for decades-old student loans. We sounded the alarm. And he backed down—at least for now. We’re keeping up the fight.

Donald Trump sued me for racketeering, I won and did not back down. Donald Trump tried to have me investigated, I did not back down. Donald Trump named me in executive orders, I did not back down. If your lawyers are so afraid that they are cutting deals with Trump, you have the wrong lawyers.
Idiocracy undersold it
With this awful terror attack in Colorado, Congress needs to ask how many federal resources have been pulled from counterterrorism to deport Hispanics?
The G.O.P. tax-and-spending bill would add trillions to the deficit during a period of relative economic strength. That could make it harder for the government to come to the rescue during the next crisis. My latest with @colbylsmith.bsky.social. #EconSky www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/b...
In Missouri they don’t
I didn’t know about this
💔
Sen. Rafael Edward Cruz, who uses the preferred name Ted, has introduced a bill to limit the use of preferred names and pronouns. Hypocrite Ted has no shame and no conscience. He just toes the line for his owners. And by owners, I am not referring to his constituents.
That’s only a decision that the person and their doctor (together) can make
He hates being called Peewee German - so please don't repost this
Wow, this one Fox actually covered. But let’s see whether this gets any run on their network instead of just the website.
How can anyone who follows Jesus’s teachings let children go hungry?

I propose we take away Joni Ernst's taxpayer-funded health insurance. Then let's see her be a bitch to people who don't want to die sooner than they have to. Make this shit viral.
Disgusting that so many people support the convicted felon and won’t speak out against his hateful actions and speech
In a healthy information environment, this would be front-page news.
I miss journalists, Trump staged an assassination attempt that a five year-old could figure out was fake and NYT’s thinks we need Ezra Klein interviewing Jake Tapper. The failure of MSM wasn’t in covering Biden’s age it was in ignoring Trump’s crimes for the last forty years.
We tried to warn you. Project 2025.
Imna just leave this right here....
Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.
This is insane!
Is it too much to ask for an IRS Commissioner who understands the law?
So Homeland Security doesn’t like ICE being called the modern gestapo… cuz the truth hurts!
He’s got private golf resorts, personal jets, and towers with his name on them and yet he’s still begging oil despots for a luxury plane instead of helping people working two jobs who can’t make rent.
Ukraine is ranked the 75th most corrupt country, so it's nowhere near one of the most corrupt countries. But as someone who wrote a book on it I can tell you two things: Kremlin propaganda is focused on overstating corruption in Ukraine, and much corruption in Ukraine is orchestrated by the Kremlin.
It’s past time to impeach and remove him
Thank you
She is as horrible as tfg
NEW:Trump’s DC attorney nominee Ed Martin is apologizing, saying he didn’t know about the alleged Nazi sympathizer views of a Capitol rioter he repeatedly praised. But audio saved by CNN’s KFile shows Martin discussed those views on his podcast — undercutting his claims. www.cnn.com/2025/04/28/p...
Pritzker: And we have a president who claims to love America but hates our military so much that can’t be bothered to delay his golf game to greet the bodies of four fallen U.S. soldiers.
Some employees at the National Institutes of Health say federal funding cuts at the agency have slowed or halted some work on childhood cancer therapies, dementia, and stroke. An NIH insider, who asked us to conceal his identity due to his concern over reprisal, spoke about the impact of the cuts.
Pritzker: As a Ukrainian American Jew who built a holocaust museum… let me say this to Donald Trump: Stop tearing down the constitution in the name of my ancestors. Do not claim that your authoritarian power grabs are about combatting anti-semitism.
A nonprofit watchdog group on Monday broadened a lawsuit it filed last month against several top national security officials in the Trump administration, asking a federal judge to force them to preserve all messages they have sent as part of their official business on Signal.
At the WH Easter egg hunt, Hegseth this morning pathetically blames the media for what his own appointees disclosed about his latest scandals.
Bad for school kids, bad for farmers, and sure as hell won’t “make America healthy again.”

If we’re removing criminals shouldn’t the convicted orange felon be on the list??
I'm not religious, but there's something profound about Pope Francis, in his final days, standing up to our administration's cruelty. His moral clarity serves as a reminder that higher principles still guide us, even when leadership falters.
We're about to find out where John Roberts wants to end up in history books. And if history books are still gonna be a thing.
The Trump administration is set to cancel tens of millions of dollars in grants to scientists studying environmental hazards faced by children in rural America, among other health issues, according to internal emails written by senior officials at the EPA.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe, vulnerable, and alone. But when we find ourselves surrounded by courageous people and brave institutions, we can more easily find courage inside ourselves. This is the beauty of solidarity.
Hegseth must go! Using his personal phone to share classified strike plans with his wife and brother.
Yet another security breach that put American troops and lives at risk. Pete Hegseth has no business serving as Defense Secretary. Donald Trump must fire him.
Please know that we aren’t all trumpers here. Many of us are totally appalled and disgusted by him and his minions.
Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson, a conservative Reagan appointee, wrote a blistering opinion accusing the Trump administration of failing to give a man wrongly deported to El Salvador any semblance of due process.
Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.
What is to stop anyone Trump doesn't like being spirited from the US to a foreign death camp? Nacht und Nebel.
This isn't a democracy. But this is a five-alarm fire for us, the people.
No criminal charges were filed against Mohsen Mahdawi And apparently the Trump administration has asserted no legal basis to deport him-other than Marco Rubio’s say so If this doesn’t scare you Remember-they’re trying to revoke birthright citizenship So they can deport ANYONE they wish
Among the Declaration of Independence’s grievances against the Crown was “transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences.”
I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote. www.instagram.com/reel/DIcQFxt...
Wow
AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?” I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter
More of this please
If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.
Sanders: He now wants to take away CBS’s license because they did a story that criticized him. Oh my word, CBS criticized him! Oh, let’s drive them out of business, how terrible… If you can’t take criticism, get out of the political process. This is a democracy
Sanders: A woman is walking down the street, a car stops, and these guys — in plain clothes and masks — grab her, throw her into the car, and take off. That happened in Vermont today. That’s the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships, not in a democracy.
AOC: It’s bone-chilling. Every day, there’s something new. And today, we saw Trump express openness to sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons without due process. It’s anti-American.
AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.
He’s a convicted felon and a known liar. Hold him accountable!!
100%. His own family said he wasn’t qualified or mentally stable enough for this
They’re trying to negatively impact our lives anyway they can
JUST IN: President Trump is authorizing the military to occupy and take jurisdiction over public land along the southern border.
Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.
Scoop: DOGE now controls how grant opportunities get posted across government. DOGE engineer removed users’ permissions to post to Grants-dot-gov without telling them. Now requests flow thru DOGE-controlled mailbox. with @carolynyjohnson.bsky.social + @hannahnatanson.bsky.social
Political appointees within the Department of the Navy's leadership picked a list of books on antiracism, sexuality and gender to ban from the U.S. Naval Academy's library while keeping many favorites of white supremacists, like Mein Kampf and The Camp of the Saints www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...
Will tfg ever have real consequences for his actions, lies, and incompetence???
If one doesn’t understand this, one could easily see all this as anodyne (as in, “Oh, if she wanted to help Trump with her vote, she would’ve voted in Texas, not Hawaii!”) That’s a misunderstanding of why this is a scandal. For _political reasons_ of _great import_, Gabbard committed voter fraud.
Perhaps media should look at possible motivations here? Gabbard isn’t a _real_ Texan—and the Texas GOP doesn’t need her—so her residency declaration there (likely a fraud) was to save money. The reason she needs to remain a _Hawaii_ voter is Trump and the GOP think she can flip a Senate seat there.
I needed to hear this today

A growing number of conservatives are challenging President Donald Trump’s wide-reaching tariffs on allies and adversaries alike, with some questioning whether he has the authority to implement them.
The Trump administration has removed environmental protections covering more than half of the land managed by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the president’s aim to significantly bolster the U.S. logging industry.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk: get your hands off our Social Security.
Our local Columbus, Ohio news didn't cover it at all, NBC evening news was shamefully brief and off-hand.
Media being compliant or fragmented: When truth becomes subjective, or platforms act as echo chambers, public accountability erodes. Or go silent we are in trouble.
Keep Reposting
I'm glad modern Socrates with great punchlines didn't have to live to see today.
Donald Trump’s executive order on history, which takes particular issue with the Smithsonian, aims to rewrite the darker parts of America’s past.
Correct
This is why quality education and critical thinking are so crucial!!!
That’s is awful!! If we don’t learn from history we are doomed to repeat it!
Trump and Musk wants to reach into our pockets and steal our earned Social Security. What do we say to that? HELL NO! - @socialsecurityworks.org President Nancy Altman
Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"
WHAT THE F**K!
