The irony in it is that Donald Trump received a record-high percentage of the Hispanic or Latino vote for a Republican candidate.

They [I did not] elected a buffoon, a nincompoop.
MAGA Mike Johnson should be asked to defend this.
Could he have fallen from the stairs after his too many drinks?
Remember this👇🏾 Last July, Donald Trump at a campaign trail told listeners if they vote for him, "in four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote." Are you still surprised about what you’ve seeing? www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
Agreed. Trump is merely the avatar of Republican machinations, a party devoid of ideas but desperate for power and position.
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.

I spoke with @perrybaconjr.bsky.social about why we need candidates who will fight for a government that does more for working people, not less. It's not a radical concept.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
It appears we’ve lost our most important freedom - the right to freely speak. But it’s not too late, we can retake it. All it takes is a collective fight back NOW. Next year might be too late. We didn’t elect a dictator!
Right, but at the same time, he’s methodically installing a dictatorial regime, one that silence opposition and make institutions answerable to him. He’s proving to be above the law, and most importantly, installing himself as president for life. This, in my opinion, is his mode of operation.

It will be unwise for Ghislaine Maxwell who is desperate for presidential pardon to implicate Trump. A tenable testimony is one that comes from the victims, or the record of files, which is why it behaves on the DoJ to release the files.
No, it wasn’t “a Democrat hoax”. Conspiracy about Epstein was peddled by MAGA movement ostensibly to shame Democratic Party leaning personalities whom they thought were on his client list, but instead of quelling it, Trump used it to gain more support by promising to release the files.

In my view it’s Mitch McConnell.
Racial profiling by ICE targeting Hispanic looking citizens has become rampant. Election time, Republicans often curried Hispanic votes by alleging that Democrats are socialists. With Hispanic populations as victims of ICE arrests, will Hispanics know who’s on their side? youtu.be/GRfHP1yEwNs?...
So, FBI raid on Bolton home is it a payback or Trump’s inspired?
When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave the answer America keeps failing to learn.
How much longer before this quack loses her license?
Here we go! The Republican party that was screaming ‘weaponization’ when Trump was justifiably facing criminal charges for his misdeeds is now targeting Trump’s perceived enemy. Buckle up. This no doubt is just the start.
Newsom: We can’t do things the way we’ve done. Let’s disabuse ourselves of that. The Democratic Party needs to assert itself. We need to be strong again. Strength matters. People want conviction. They want character. They want a sense of intention and purpose…
What sense is there to say Trump, a felon, who instigated an insurrection against a government he presided over, freed convicted Insurrectionists on assumption of office, and wants a criminal that breached voting system freed, be viewed as e”embrtough on crime mantra”? apnews.com/article/trum...

Well, I see it differently. He told American voters repeatedly that he’d impose new trade tariffs, but they chose him as against having a Black woman president. So, let’s call it what it is. Thanks to ignorant, racist, misogynist voters.
They’re being disingenuous. See the slight grin on Patel’s face, and how rapidly he blinks? Shows how unserious they are.
💯. This exactly is what many Russian supporters in the Republican fold, including JD Vance don’t seem to grasp.
Trump is weaponizing law enforcement against Black female political officials who won’t do his bidding. He’s accusing them of what he himself is guilty of: financial fraud. Textbook racist, sexual projection.
What has his manner of speaking got to with his temperament and devious actions? These present and former leaders are known to speak softly but to what end: Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud (Saudi Arabia), Muammar Gaddafi(Libya), Milošević (Serbia), Idi Amin (Uganda), and Saddam Hussein(Iraq).
For Paul Weiss and Kirkland & Ellis, there’ll be a day of reckoning. Hope it’s sooner than later.
It might be time for the public to take on this man before it’s too late. He has grown wings, and the guide rails have all collapsed. Dictators push the envelopes one-at-time, testing the waters, to see if they’d be stopped. American public, time to rise up against dictatorship is NOW!

His [Trump] “has measure” will eventually boomerang on him. He’s already acting as a dictator, with powers over and above every territory and jurisdiction.
Our rights are under attack. Trump is making good his promise to terrorize us.
When they go low, we go lower

Let JD Vance explain how this is right. In a majority-minority state of Texas, Blacks and non-white Hispanic population is significantly larger (52.2%) than non-Hispanic white (39.8%), but Texas has more white representation in Congress as a result of redistricting.
Some American voted for Donald Trump under the advertised notion that he has a better understanding of the economy. Pure malarkey!

Power corrupts. He’s emboldened, but it’s our responsibility to let him know he’s holding the power in trust. The. ultimate power belongs to ‘we the people’.
He no longer hides his bigotry. His hood and mask are off, but is foolishness and ignorance are also in full display.
It’s all about priority. It’s Republicans idea of fighting ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’. Hypocrisy.
Democrats have a fight in their hands, and they better wake up to resist Trump’s actions NOW.
One major agent not mentioned in this scenario is Fox News. When you add the outfit to the equation, the destabilization and or erosion of democracy is complete.

Someone argued that they’re afraid of losing their job. To which I said, they’ve lost the job by their reporting - appeasing dictatorship.
Jake Tapper (officialjtapper.bsky.social) is oblivious of this claim, otherwise, he would’ve written a book on it.
Not surprising, coming from ketchup laced hamburger diets, and indiscriminate sexual appetite. How does Melania cope, we might ask?

I’ve lived through 13 presidential administrations begging with Dwight Eisenhower, and I’m convinced no U.S. president is more stupid than Donald J. Trump. By the way, in contrast to George W. Bush, take a look at this 👇🏿and see what I meant youtu.be/-JOQwlo5wj4?...
The cost in human lives will be staggering. I remain sad, because I can’t fathom how we brought this on our society.
In societies where certification is required for journalism practitioners, Doocy would have long lost his license.
Consider This: Trump’s making effort to bring back the ‘hanging chart with his attempt to end machine voting. Scared of losing 2026 midterm elections, Trump wants to outlaw absentee (mail-n) balloting, a system that has been in use since the U.S. civil war era.
This dude has it. We got some generational talent in the party.
Too late. If they had listened, we wouldn’t be where we are now.
Falsehood has generally become right-wing news stock-in-trade. It’s how they keep their listeners and viewers, and generate income.
Will this stop them from peddling lies and bigotry? I doubt it will. Fox News paid Dominion Voting Systems $787.5 million to settle a defamation lawsuit, but Fox has not desist. Instead, it got worse. Alex Jones has faced significant financial losses, but hasn’t relent in spreading falsehoods.
GOP, the party of Law & Oder is loving it.
Trump has always been a biased editor with prejudiced notions.
🔥 “If I’m willing to drive three hours to come here and talk, I’m gonna ask you to get off your phone and listen to what I have to say.”
Make this go viral.
Mic drop.
Congress members are quiet, pretending they’re not aware scenes like this are happening across the country. If this was happening in third world country, the ‘mighty’ United States will be indignant and threaten reprisals. This is sad. Really sad!
Immersion in nature could be richly relaxing and rewarding. It helps to appreciate nature.
Considering that was a deal Trump gave a score of 10/10. Incredible indeed. Trump will do anything to stay in the good books of Putin. Rhetorically speaking, why should anyone trust the two habitual liars.
They can have Trump.
Apparently two habitual and professional liars met in Alaska to work out a wonky deal on Ukraine, and one invited President Zelensky to come sign to it for the sake of winning a Nobel Peace prize he doesn’t deserve. Let’s ask Marco Rubio: can the Leopard change its spots?
What has this country become? Yet we have representatives in Congress that are sitting quiet, more concerned of their political position, and unmindful of government violence against citizens!
More than an insult. It was a sellout. Trump was throwing a stone to catch three birds: distract from Epstein scandal; get Nobel peace attention; and curry Putin’s favor.
European leaders skillfully offered to join Zelensky at his White House meeting on Monday to prevent the Ukrainian president from being railroaded a second time by Trump. apnews.com/article/euro...
“Putin would eat you for lunch.” And today, that’s exactly what he did.

"At around 9 a.m. on Friday, three guests at Hotel Captain Cook, a four-star hotel located 20 minutes from the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage where leaders from the U.S. and Russia convened, found the documents left behind in one of the hotel's public printers." 🤡

Yeah, we get it. The “bullshit you get down with” is racial redistricting in a half decade.
Wrong! He’s not seeking to be crowned, only he’s nudging us to wake up and resist dictatorship before it becomes too late.

U.S. votes trusted Trump on the economy, a man who had filed for business bankruptcy four times: the Trump Taj Mahal in 1991, Trump Plaza Hotel in 1992, Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts in 2004 and Trump Entertainment Resorts in 2009. Each time, the bankruptcy was a Chapter 11 filing.
