The GOP is in denial that their leader is senile: The U.N. speech? And Quantico? Just his quirky verbal style! Dementia’s tough to peg in one whose norm is infantile. But they welcome the distraction, if only for a while, from that problematic topic: Jeffrey Epstein, pedophile.

Our mighty military hardware – revered and feared by nations all! – assembled in the capital, parading by the Mall. But the whole “Dear Leader” vibe really casts a pitiful pall. It screams: His daddy didn’t love him and his d*ck is really small.

I met @jennifertaub.com at my local rally!

Saturday we rally all over to sing: America will have No Kings! While Bone Spurs does his birthday thing, we peacefully proclaim: No Kings! While toadies line up to kiss his ring, We the People unite in cause: No Kings! While he rages and sulks amid golden bling, Patriots pledge: Forever No Kings!

Kristi Noem played a starring role in today’s ugly fascist theater. She said the feds will “liberate” L.A. from its elected leaders. When Senator Padilla spoke up he was downed and cuffed by her official beaters. This latest obscenity brings us closer to the edge on which our democracy teeters.

Yet another President in cognitive decline, the last was kind and dignified; this one is malign. Perfect useful idiot for evil Stephen Miller – jackboot captain of the SS Trump, hand upon the tiller. America’s imperiled by this awful puppet master as Donny lacks the marbles to run his own disaster.

Health policy is bonkers during Donald’s second term – maybe don’t appoint the guy whose brain was eaten by a worm? RFK wants kooks instead of experts, his baloney they’ll affirm. Quackery over science means more deaths from deadly germs.

He sees opportunity in claiming things calamitous: Violent lawless hellhole? That’s how he portrays Los Angeles! He tries to make it so by deploying troops to handle this. Mister “J6 was a lovefest” – really effing scandalous.

His Harvard vendetta may be simpler than it seems: he would never be admitted in his wildest dreams. And he’s so intimidated by people who are smart, that all things education he wants to tear apart. But his real target is Truth, aka Veritas, and destruction of that is his gain and our loss.

That freakin plane, the crypto grift – the corruption's the whole point. Real estate deals, Mar-a-Lago appeals – influence peddling all over the joint. Imagine, for a moment, that these were Democratic sins: Fox and MAGA would lose their sh*t! But for Trump, they're just more wins.

Republicans in Congress are selling us out – if we're not zillionaires, we don't have any clout. Fiscal prudence they claim, but the deficit they flout. Woe unto those in his party who express any doubt! Trumponomics requires adherence devout – so they're fully submissive to that big orange lout.

Free Market this, deregulated that – that’s where Republicans used to be at. Now they surrender all liberties to this daft autocrat. Threaten industry here, menace colleges there – this would long have been seen as wrong and unfair. But the GOP sold its soul to kiss Trump’s derrière.

Tell the guy in the White House it will save him some fights if he reads the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Freedom of Speech, the Press Religion and more – in defining America, these are our core. You’d think a President would know them by heart. Most of them do, but this one isn’t too smart.

100 days of tariff chaos 100 days of canceled grants 100 days of creepy V.P. JD Vance 100 days of Musk and DOGE 100 days of data breach 100 days of Presidential power overreach 100 days of DEI erasure 100 days of Signal chats 100 days of fighting measles with RFK’s tinfoil hats 🧵1/3

Will foreign tourists flock to spots across the USA while Trump treats their nations badly, claiming trade or NATO foul play? Some he wants to seize – to international dismay! Add risk of hassle at our border – get detained or turned away – and it’s likely most will seek some other summer holiday.

Their ethos is intimidation – they seek compliance by instilling fear. Arresting a judge raises the stakes and sends a message loud and clear. This is the opposite of democracy, and counter to all that we hold dear. Condemn this appalling thuggish act: We reject Trump’s fascist bullshit here!

International students are still imprisoned, punished for expressing their views. Part of Trump’s war on universities – federal funding they might lose. Civil liberties are under attack here, not least our cherished freedom of speech. We minimize this at our peril as he expands his lawless reach.

Things that one might do if they were in cahoots with Putin: * Ruin the economy – their own foot they’d be shootin’. * Plunder Fed departments, private data ripe for lootin’. * Treat allies with contempt, NATO common good disputin’. * Weaken Constitutional rights, autocratic substitutin’.

Keeping Pete Hegseth doesn’t make any sense: he threatens troop safety with his negligence. So lax with security – the risks are immense! Pentagon staff question his competence. He remains cuz his fealty to Trump is intense, but neither should manage our nation’s defense.

Sent to a foreign torture jail, due process is denied. Not just deported, but imprisoned – and mistakenly, besides. They said that he is in a gang and yet they may have lied. Bring him back, then make the case and let the courts decide. The Rule of Law is paramount and this disgrace must be decried!

Smart Presidents seek experts to give them good advice – the best and the brightest they endeavor to entice. The weak require toadies – yes men and bootlickers are nice. So Powell telling tariff truths could get the Fed Chair iced. If Trump dumps him for his honesty, we all will pay the price.

Between his tariffs and his tantrums, the world no longer trusts us. We aren’t reliable partners in trade, defense, or justice. Chaos is not a strategy, and cruelty isn’t strong. Will Republicans in Congress right this ruinous wrong?

He’s flushing the economy down his golden toilet. We were riding record market highs and he had to go and spoil it. A real Chief Exec would see this mess and zero in on problem solving. But it’s clear he doesn’t give a damn: he spent the weekend golfing.

We showed up in droves in cities and towns. We held signs and sang songs: no kings and no clowns! We were pissed, yet peaceful – our feet and hearts pound. Democracy matters and we will not back down.

Republicans in Congress will let him ruin everything. They’ll torpedo our alliances to please the orange King. They’ll ravage the economy to court the Putinista wing. They’ll make us ill and dumb and cruel – that’s how they kiss the ring. They’ve chosen to enable the Bizarre-a-Lago ding-a-ling.

Still true... 🙄

SignalGate proves beyond any doubt: security measures they’re willing to flout. If they’ll risk having war plans bandied about, you think they care if our personal data gets out? Reckless destruction – their ethos devout. History will judge the full scale of fallout.

Our national security officials used group texting to plan an attack, showing stunning disregard for the potential to be hacked. A journalist was present – they added him by mistake! Dangerous fools are the result when expertise you do forsake.

Detentions and deportations with zero protocol – folks with legal status caught up in this zealous trawl. Letting ends justify means could lead to our downfall. Remember our Pledge: “…with liberty and justice for all.”

Trump tramples on the Constitution in pursuit of power and persecution. He’s made servile the House and Senate majority; now he’s testing Judicial branch authority. Every ethic and norm he does erase – Would our founders recognize this place?

He spurns our NATO allies, sucks up to the bad guys – proving Putin plays him like a fiddle. His dysfunction multiplies as Legislative power dies – no more checks and balance, just lickspittle. We are weakened in the world’s eyes as many come to recognize: American democracy is brittle.

Canada and Greenland to be annexed? His malign intent we must reject. Attacks on media and lawful protest? Free speech he wants to be oppressed. The treachery of DOGE’s data breach? On that alone they should impeach. He defies our values and our Constitution But Republicans fear his retribution.

To make America stupid you’d slash science and the Dept. of Ed. To make America shameful help for vets and the poor you would shred. To make America vulnerable you’d bash our allies and back Putin instead. To make America great you need a leader with integrity and brains – not an amoral knucklehead.

There is no disguising just how destabilizing has been Trump’s big tariff reveal. Prices are rising, GDP growth capsizing; the stock market’s sucking for real. But is this surprising? He thinks bankruptcy filings are part of the art of the deal.

Musk and Trump could not possibly be sending a clearer signal that the Tesla protests are working than this pathetic stunt today.

Massive cuts for shock effect – no regard to consequences. Skilled people doing vital work slashed like meaningless expenses. How will we support our veterans? Our science? Our national parks? They are trampling America’s greatness to appease our oligarchs.

Trump’s decimation of our government should be cause for high alarm. The result is not “efficiency” if it causes drastic harm. That’s like trying to lose a little weight by cutting off your arm. Indulging this insanity, Thune and Johnson drown in smarm.

The ruling GOP elite ignore our Constitution. Separate branches of government were meant for power distribution. Their surrender of the legislature demeans that institution. Will the judicial arm aid or end this dictator delusion?

What he says and what is true Are very different things – Despite the repetition By sycophantic underlings. Eventually reality May become as clear as day. But how much misery and damage Will he inflict along the way?

You don’t need to be a PhD To know tariffs make goods cost more. They impact international trade And the local grocery store. Those with tons of money May find this easy to ignore, But things will be worse for regular folks – Especially the poor.

Republicans in Congress Recognize the wrongs. But they can’t speak truth to power, Fearing MAGA’s angry throngs. Those who dare to cross The Don Need security and flak jackets. To keep their seats, they’ve sold their souls to a protection racket.

Did you know that military veterans Are a big part of the federal workforce? No kidding – about 30 percent: Go ahead and check the source. SO MANY vets are getting shafted As Trump’s trolls slash jobs without remorse. While millions in taxpayer cash Fund another round at his golf course.

For waste, fraud and abuse They let Musk and DOGE loose – We thought their goal was to eliminate it. But now this big FAA stink With billions for Starlink – Was the real plan to perpetrate it?

If Monday’s UN votes were not enough, That outrage in the Oval sure called our bluff: Trump sides with Russia and scorns Ukraine. Europe grieves, Moscow pops champagne.

Our mighty nation, long held so high in the world’s esteem Demolished that today – it was Putin’s wildest dream. Trump and Vance against Zelenskyy – depraved in the extreme. Stunning damage wrought in the early weeks of this regime.

USAID fights poverty and disease, And not just because we’re nice. Desperate places are vulnerable To being bought for the right price. If we don’t help them others may – It’s a risk to roll those dice. “Soft power” is real power – Massive cuts flout wise advice.

Fed workforce slashed with more to come By Trump and Musk and Vought. To the things that serve the people best They’ve given not a thought. They have no regard for expertise Or functions that are critical. This has zip to do with fraud or waste – It’s all spite and feuds political.
