People are missing the point. It is not that the phrase Trump insisted be on new passports confirms that he doesn't know what a passport is. It's that for a year not one person who works for him was willing to tell him so. They will remain cowards when he declares martial law.

"I contemplate with reverence that act of the American people which declared their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church & State." -- Thomas Jefferson wapo.st/43YNcR4

Getting rid of well-respected high ranking members of the military in order to install loyalists is what you do when you are planning to do the wrong thing and want to make sure the military complies with your orders.

The "protection program" is no secret Seen the list of convicted criminals pardoned Seen the list of investigations shut down We know Johnson is press secretary for a criminal conspiracy, working for a mob boss We can't WAIT for legitimate investigations, indictments, convictions & incarcerations

JD Vance and MAGA are celebrating how Donald Trump has destroyed the morality of our nation. It will be decades before America finds its decency again.

Hahaha 🤭😅🤣

📌Trump and his hideous regime bought in White South Africans by the boatful, and are sending Haitians into the sea. But if you really want to understand the depth of the decay in the GOP consider Amy Coney Barrett, who adopted two Haitian children aligned with Alito in the SC's revolting decision.

🧵🧵🧵 Take this quiz: Which of these quotes are Republicans talking about Somali immigrants and which are Nazis talking about Jews? 1/ They’re “garbage. These are people who do nothing but complain.” 2/ “Public pests … vermin … leeches.” 3/ “They’re all crooks.” 4/ They’re “criminal-minded people.”

Admiral (ret.) William H. McRaven: "In recent months, President Trump, upon advice from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, has relieved or forced the retirement of some of the finest officers that have ever served this nation." {gift link} www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

No one assimilates less into what America is in 2026 than white men like the one below. These are the ones who won’t eat food originating in nonwhite cultures, whine if whites aren’t the leads in a film or nonwhites appear in commercials, and use terms like “assimilation” without understanding them.

Vance dismisses Watergate scandal, says ‘deep state’ went after Nixon - The Washington Post. Vance seems remarkably ignorant of history. Republicans ended Nixon’s presidency and they have never before been called the “deep state.”

Friends, they’re not even trying to hide their voter suppression. ⬇️

Crazy how Republicans are just openly pro corruption now.

Mikey babe, as a lawyer, please explain to this ole lawyer exactly how a soccer player will inject “Sharia Law” into the American legal system? No wonder Mike Johnson couldn’t get accreditation for a law school

It takes 1.28 seconds for a message to reach us from the Moon. It takes as little as 35 minutes from Jupiter. It takes as little as 4.5 hours from Pluto. It takes at least 6-12 months from NYT reporters, plus $35 for the book containing it.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

Clearest proof we've seen that he thinks refugees claiming political asylum were refugees from an actual insane asylum. The leader of the United States is dumber than dirt but there's an entire cult enabling him and a corporate media too cowardly to call them out.

Today's vocabulary word is "kleptocracy."

The President’s son-in-law is helping shape U.S. Middle East policy amid a war in Iran while simultaneously raising billions from Middle Eastern governments for his private equity firm. This is a massive corruption scandal that deserves far more attention than it’s getting.

So his top-notch non-compete repair contractors just happened to not put any thought into security in poorly lit areas? That issue was too complex for them? And many people are saying, grown men with tears in their eyes, that they should also have the contract to refurbish Air Qatari 1...

Trump’s Reflecting Pool fiasco is no longer just a laughing matter Trump’s desperate attempts to blame “vandals” deserve mockery, but arrests over the weekend are another abuse of federal power.

Major media apparently have decided it's not news that the most powerful person in the world is out of his fucking mind.

One failure among - uhhhhh - MANY...

Steaks! Casinos! Universities! So many failures, bankruptcies and grifts - so little time...

Who would do such a thing? The vandal-in-chief would do such a thing.

Trump shut down a criminal investigation into clemency granted to a convicted fraudster. David Gentile ran a $1.6 billion scheme that defrauded thousands of mom-and-pop investors. Trump freed him after less than two weeks in prison and spared his illicit gains. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/21/u...

Trump calls himself “sick, deranged”

Maybe we tell the DOJ that the Epstein co-conspirators vandalized the reflecting pool and they might finally arrest someone.

It's difficult to avoid the dark humor it provokes - but it is actually so pathetically, idiotically and NEEDLESSLY tragic.

Real peoples lives are being destroyed as we’re all forced to live in the alternate reality of a decaying pedophilic narcissist…

If they deserve arrest for "damaging public property" by barely touching anything: DT should be in solitary for life Dana White should get at least 20 years w/o parole

Yes, idiotic and laughable. Still, deploying the military in service of the Leader’s pet projects is also a marker of authoritarianism.

And here is the CENTCOM report that lists 1,700 targets truck in first 72 hours, which also corroborates. If Grok was used for 2,000 in the first 96 hours, then it had to be the technology that was responsible for the strike on the school. Let's stop talking about algae, this is a scandal.

ANY other President would have been removed, disgraced, and castigated.

Imagine, if you would, a world in which that is true. Then shouldn't the headline be: "Trump Spends $Millions on the Pool, but Provided Totally Inadequate Security Measures" (Maybe he should have had a ballroom built over the pool???)

CNN Headline: "President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance both virtually signed the agreement" 1) "virtually" - So they both used autopen? I thought that doesn't count? 2) So DT and JD won't be attacking each other? Too bad...
