How dismal it is to see present-day Americans yearning for the very orthodoxy that their country was founded to escape. ~ Christopher Hitchens

Trump just stole $1.8B. He’s going to give it to his business, his kids, and people like Flynn, Eastman, Giuliani, and the Oath Keepers. He’s doing this without court approval or Congress. This is a crime, but there’s no one to prosecute it because the DoJ is in on it.

When you die, God won't ask about the two men down the street who got married, about the girl who had an abortion, the atheist that lives on the corner, or the woman who feels more comfortable as a man. He WILL ask you how you loved those people as he called you to do. And many of you didn't.

I miss having a President of the United States.

Probably should be a bigger deal that the Trump Administration used taxpayer dollars to host a Christian Nationalist event in the nation's capital, but, nah. www.washingtonpost.com/religion/202...

“Wow, you’re really not feeling our pain, you are adding to our pain, and on top of that, you don’t care about our pain. That could lead to political problems for him…” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/u...

First they name you unnatural. Then dangerous. Then terrorist. Power always rehearses the same script before it sharpens the knife. A trans person existing is not violence. A government teaching people to fear them is. I 100% support my trans family 🏳️‍⚧️ Page 7: www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u... .

Imagine being 16 months into your presidency and you have the audacity to blame your predecessor for your own incompetence and failures.

This always amazes me. In a very reprehensible way...how these men went from making these statements to complicit enablers. They could have and should have been better.

Elon Musk is tripping his ass off in China.

I rarely say “major breaking” and rarely put out these video hits, but this is pretty major.

The rush to silence Black voters ahead of the 2026 election is stone cold racism. It's Jim Crow 2.0.

And said he doesn't care about Americans finances. Feels like Trump is Satan and we are living in his hell.

I'm tired of going backwards.

Do your neighbors know that there taxpayer dollars are being used to pay for torture & #ICELawlessness? Do they care? Maybe, and maybe not. Ask them. Ask them how they would feel if they're family.Members were treated this way. Do let Trump's immigration horror story be ignored! Please Share!🧵

Obama: empathy. Biden: empathy. Clinton: empathy. Trump: “Not even a little bit.” There it is, folks. Four words that perfectly explain every tariff, every layoff, every empty grocery shelf. He told us exactly who he was. We just had to listen. #momsky #voterizer #sheshed

It’s just as Kamala Harris predicted, the orange felon has destroyed the economy and has gone to war with Iran.

Roslyn Carter once said Ronald Reagan, "makes people comfortable with their prejudices." Trump didn't create MAGA, he just brought it out from under its white sheet and put a red hat on it.

The most difficult thing about being human right now is knowing we already have the intelligence and resources to end hunger for every child in the world, fight climate change, and get everyone healthcare, but greed and billionaires keep millions suffering instead.

It quite literally couldn’t be clearer that this man does not care about you. “Not even a little bit” — his words, not mine. Working families are struggling to pay for groceries, keep the lights on, and fill up their gas tanks…and he couldn’t care less. You deserve better.
