Truth.

This is fascism.

EPSTEIN SHUTDOWN

How bad are tariffs going? I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business. UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me. That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯

US Treasurer Brandon Beach has confirmed this is happening. This is what Republicans are working on as the government is shut down.

Meiselas: So if this 17 trillion he keeps talking about exists, what account is it in? Did he steal the 17 trillion? Subramanyam: I’d love to see his math on that. I’d love to know why it’s not being returned to the American people if that’s the case.

The Trump administration just announced they are considering putting Donald Trump on U.S. currency alongside the Founding Fathers.

In speeches, Vought spoke of “demoralizing federal workers to the point that they don’t want to do their jobs.” “.. we want them to not want to go .. because they are.. viewed as the villains,” he said. “We want to put them in trauma.” from 2024: @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/vide...

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

🗣️EPSTEIN SHUTDOWN🗣️

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

TRUMP “MARIE ANTOINETTE” SAYS, “NO HEALTH CARE FOR YOU PEASANTS, BUT A BALLROOM FOR THE QUEEN!”

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

Priorities.

Ronald Reagan–appointed U.S. District Judge William Young: “ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence… To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed, masked secret police.”

Trump summoned the top American military officers stationed around the world to VA to tell them that the enemy they should be primarily concerned with now is American citizens.

Perfect

Imagine you're a career military general being summoned for a pentagon strategy lecture by a former game show host and a former weekend talk show host.

Pritzker: “ICE is running around the Loop harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States. Now, ICE is making it commonplace.”

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Another way of looking at it

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

The Oval Office looks utterly grotesque, like a flatulent leprous bordello madam in an early 19th c. Parisian alleyway

In my fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, we were required to memorize this, “The True Gentleman.” Back then it was just a thing we did, but now it hits differently, and is needed in today’s men

It might become the largest GoFundMe account in history….. #bluesky

Mockler: I said Donald Trump created this environment over the past decade. You sat here and said, I need to take responsibility. I'm a 22-year-old youtuber. You hold me to a higher standard than the President

Put billboards in farm country with Trump grinning in his golden oval office that say THEY/THEM ARE FOR YOU! TRUMP’S FOR HIM/HIS.

Washington's hottest new club has everything: Cabinet secretaries, a new stone patio, meals from the White House kitchen and even a playlist curated by President Donald Trump.

🧑‍🌾 ICYMI — “When are you gonna stand up for us instead of kissing Trump’s ass for these trade deals?” A MISSOURI FARMER to repmarkalford (R) about Trump’s policies raising prices and crushing farmers. (H/T @corybooker )

Why is MAGA Mike so afraid to swear in Congresswoman-elect Grijalva? Worried about that Epstein discharge petition, Mike?

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Newsmax’s words, not mine.

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

So unifying

While 🇺🇸 farms go under…

The Pentagon is implementing new guidelines that will require journalists to sign a pledge and agree to report only approved and officially released information.

Disney has lost nearly $4 Billion in three days from combined stock price collapse and cancelled subscriptions.

Charlie Kirk wanted the Epstein files released. He told people to “vote Trump to release the list.” Why won’t Trump honor Kirk’s wishes?
