The last 13% had better start paying attention, because it's not going to get any better any time soon and unless the felon makes a deal with Iran, it's going to get much worse #USDemocracy thehill.com/business/per...

One week after Trump started his war, he stated his objectives on Truth Social.

How weird!

Can’t wait to watch all the people who criticized the JCPOA and excoriated Obama for “pallets of cash” try to sanewash Trump giving Iran even more cash for a worse deal than the JCPOA.

Reminder that Trump cut your health care, food assistance, and emergency preparedness programs because they cost Americans "too much." So where does the $1 billion White House ballroom fall?

Fox News poll shows declining support across core voter groups, including Trump's Republican base. Just 29 percent of voters approved of Trump’s handling of the economy, while 71 percent disapproved, with just 30 percent of rural Americans approving and 70 percent disapproving.

Wut

This is how he has abused women and girls for decades. Creepy, invasive, and without permission.

Trump: “Hello, Greenland!”

"Fuck all of you. I'm protected. You are all fucked." He's a psychopath.

I keep telling y’all, he’s never leaving. The symbolism here is crazy work! A glowing golden shield protecting the White House like a king’s palace. Satellites, missiles, crosses, heavenly light from the sky, all centered around one man who sees himself as the seat of devine power.

The income gap is about to get insane and the govt is doing nothing about it

This is a real AI-generated video just posted by both Trump and the White House online.

Trump rushes back to White House. - Weekend golf plans scrapped. - Top officials cancel holiday plans. - 'US preparing new strikes against Iran' - CBS. - Iran's army READY for 'enemy foolishness' — Tasnim.

We are very far off the cliff, folks. @CBS should be avoided entirely. Shame on them.

Say goodbye to Stephen Colbert and then say goodbye to CBS. A network that loses Colbert loses its cultural relevance. Period. Please repost if you agree! #StephenColbert #Colbert #CBS

Yes, that's Gov. Tim Walz on Alien Super Show. Walz: "I'm not running again, so the guardrails are off. I asked and said, 'Can I go on shows where I can say, "fuck those guys"?'" You've come to the right place, governor. New episode drops this weekend.

BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard has resigned as the Director of National Intelligence. Her resignation is the latest in a pattern of female cabinet members being forced out https://www.contrariannews.org/p/women-are-the-first-to-go

Farewell, Tulsi Gabbard. You didn't stop any regime change wars, but at least you pretended you would.

I guess Tulsi didn't want to be a part of the Cuban invasion. Or the Iranian reinvasion. Maybe it's Greenland. Mexico? Colombia?

Trump and Gabbard claim she's leaving due to her husband's health, but Reuters reports "the ​White House ‌forced her to ⁠resign"

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tulsi Gabbard resigns as Trump’s national intelligence director
