People who have been convicted in court for breaking laws are criminals and the WH is now full of them. People who violate and over step out Constitution, standards, and rule of law should be held liable in court. President’s & their cronies should be held to this standard.
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
Military in our streets; masked men kidnapping people randomly; immigrants held in inhumane captivity on American soil; uninformed maggots driving medical and health policy and for the nation - NO! None of this is normal!!! Dictators destroy world standing, economies, order & Constitutions!!
Let that sink in.
It makes zero sense that the most ignorant and uniformed part of our country is making up our nations medical policy…what could go wrong 😫
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
The crux of the dispute is whether he had the authority to issue his sweeping tariffs by invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. We explain why that is significant
Well since our economy is suffering under Trump’s tariffs, affecting both business stability and consumer prices - yay court of appeals!!! 🎉🥳

The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
1. DOGE fires park service staff all over the country. 2. Trump looks out his windows & says DC looks terrible. 3. Trump forces National Guard troops from multiple states to take time off from their regular jobs & leave their families to improve the views outside his windows. Did I get that right?
Then they need to pick up all the criminals and trash in this administration
Wasting tax dollars and wasting our military force. Crime has dropped in most blue states and cities. This political clown show is ignoring red states where crime is highest.

That is scientifically ignorant and of course inaccurate
Excellent question.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?

This pisses me off beyond belief!!!
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
One of the best auroral displays within the past year occurred right above my apartment in North Pole, Alaska. Look at the motion!
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
Co-deputy director of the FBI? Andrew Bailey's appointment is deeply unusual. But Trump appears to be rewarding Bailey's willingness to back legally dubious, moonshot cases in support of MAGA politics. “If Bailey can do this much damage in Missouri, imagine what he’ll do with federal power.”

There was a good reason fear & anxiety often surrounded ancient Roman profession medici et medicae in antiquity. But medicine in the modern era has saved 154 million lives with vaccines since 1974—predominantly children. RFK’s actions are even worse because the science is known & he still rejects it
THIS 👉🏾 What price are you willing to pay? “You’re letting masked men snatch girls’ parents off the streets.”
This country is LESS safe!!!
Screwing Americans is the goal. If that results in more deaths - they don’t seem to care.
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”

RFK Jr was not chosen to preside over US public health and science because he had any qualifications. He had a famous family name and Trump needed his endorsement and supporters. We saw it happen live in this call. That’s why we are here.

NEW: More than two decades after victims and families of the 9/11 attacks began trying to hold the Saudi government responsible for aiding the Qaida terrorists who carried out the plot, a judge has ruled that a lawsuit against the kingdom can go to trial.
You're not going to believe this but Susan Collins is "extremely alarmed"
Pearl clutching!!
Meiselas: It seems that the outcome that Republicans want is whatever the worst possible outcome could be. More disease, more deaths, more murders, a horrible economy. And let’s literally pick the worst people for each possible position at every level.
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day

It is a disgusting abuse of power and waste of tax payer money to put military on the streets of American cities. Our honorable soldiers are trained to protect our country from foreign enemies not stand bored on the streets due to a rouge President wanting to look tough. It is useless and wasteful
Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...

Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because it’s beeping. It’s quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.
Trump’s Indiana redistricting push shows his abject fear of midterm voters. The president and his allies claim he's very popular. Their increasingly desperate actions suggest otherwise.
FEMA has suspended over 20 workers who criticized the agency's new direction under Trump. These staff signed an open letter calling out Trump officials and funding cuts. In their letter they warned that another "national catastrophe" like Hurricane Katrina is possible. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Permission slips. Escorts out of the chamber. Manufactured division. Texas Rep. Ramon Romero Jr. explains how The Lone Star State became a testing ground for MAGA rule.
Let’s be clear, this administration does not care about finding fraud, they care about crippling Medicare. They don’t like govt assistance to the American people.
These efforts aren’t about finding fraud, they are about crippling Medicare. They don’t care about fraud, they want to stop paying for healthcare for Americans
Call it for what it is!! This DOJ is making every effort to cripple Medicare!!
I was surprised to see Gloria Gaynor on the list of Kennedy Honors because she's not, well, you know. But this explains it. She gave money to Ted Cruz, Mike Johnson, and Jim Jordan. meidasnews.com/news/exclusi...
Graham Platner: "Susan Collins has been in the Senate for almost 30 years... People know that she's a self-interested politician who has tried to play this charade for many years about how she tries to be a moderate... Everybody sees this for what it is."
Increasing his authoritarian power grab over DC in order to prevent elections. Funny how we keep hoping “Dems will win”, when the chances of any more elections keeps getting smaller.

Trump is jealous
It is so disgusting that people keep pretending we are not under authoritarian rule already! MAGA has destroyed law and order and our Constitution!

OMG! These people never signed up to collect trash! They are trained military for COMBAT missions or rescue missions. They should not be obeying unlawful orders. THERE IS NO EMERGENCY IN D.C. Go home now.
When picking up trash, they should start in the west wing.
Over paid garbage men doing Trumps’ garbage.
These guys should be home with their families.
Trump is wasting our tax dollars by putting unnecessary military on U.S. streets! This authoritarian move is anti American!
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

Gaza’s influencers—who have spent 22 months documenting the war online—matter all the more these days. Israel bars foreign journalists from working freely in Gaza, and hundreds of Palestinian reporters have been killed

Ok WHY is the media not making an issue out of this?? Imagine…IMAGINE if Joe Biden spent this much time on nonsense? CNN would ask why he’s talking about NBC as opposed to focusing in the economy etc etc.
This sounds like Herr Shitler is describing himself. Time for you to go, Grandpa. Now. PS: RELEASE THE EPSTEIN/TRUMP FILES on your way out !!
Wow, if there’s anyone “with the personality of an insecure child” … always with the projections. This was right after a few hours of a cabinet meeting in which his appointed incompetent sycophants took turns imitating North Korean advisors.
The more Corporations and politicians give in to this authoritarian President, the more he will grasp for power. Do not @NBC allow him to dictate control!!

Letter says this is not disciplinary or intended to be punitive. What?? Lunatic sadists are in charge of the entire gov. And what a wonderful time to send ppl home - right at the very peak of hurricane season!
I will agree that Obama, Trump, Biden, & now Trump again-all should have stopped supporting Netanyahu cause it was dead obvious he stopped listening to the United States. He manipulated U.S. politicians into supporting him due to our alliance with Israel. He has taken gross advantage of the alliance
So we all know that #trump is planning on rigging our elections from now on. Yet #democrats plan is to “beat him in elections”? Does anyone else see the problem here or am I the only sane person in the country? #Truth #liberals #elections #Politics
