Trump's latest budget is the culmination of 40 years of increasing social control in America.
Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private contractors, like the drone manufacturers Trump's sons are now major investors in.
All of this is absurd.

If Dems retake either house, they must launch an investigation into this. There's no easier way to highlight the corruption of this era and to establish that Dems are committed to fighting it.
Pretty sure @wyden.senate.gov and Maxine Waters would be the chairs to do it.

To me, he just sounds like another bro, trying to be controversial from the left.
All “according to Trump”. As posted on Truth Social. And just when we hear the military picks and chooses what to tell the president re military efforts.
“Since the attempt on his life, Trump has show [sic] no interest in investigating what really happened. He never mentions it, it’s as if it never happened, except when he tells us, he took a bullet for us.” trib.al/lQLk7Xb
Trump continues to crater. New NBC poll has his approval down to 37-63, which is 26 points underwater.
Crucially, 50% disapprove *strongly.* Has any other president had half the country strongly disapproving?

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/
If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

Missouri's murder rate is 73% HIGHER than California’s.
No amount of right-wing spinning can change reality: our state is investing in prevention, enforcement, and is holding criminals accountable.
The U.S. Senator from Missouri should fix his own failed policies before lecturing us.
We should be learning from other countries...
Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.
DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.
DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.
My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.
DOJ is now 0-5.
My firm is 5-0.
Lesson: When we fight we win.
The entire GOP are corrupt traitors who have betrayed America
Donald Trump is an idiot... who has no business being president. Because... he's not even doing the role well at all. He's floundering. The economy is hurting. Inflation is high. Gas prices are through the roof, at new levels... all because he waged a war that wasn't even needed. No dire problems.
ICE is not about immigration.
ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets.
Abolish ICE.
“Like living two lives at once” - perfect!!
Same.
One of the best books I’ve ever read. Can’t believe it took me so long to get to it.
This is all happening because Republicans refused to hold Trump accountable for Jan 6. And now the “Sec of War” is comparing Trump to Jesus. Well done, GOP.
Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United.
Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%.
Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit.
But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...
The only reason Trump’s average approval is hovering at 38% is because Republicans are riding him until the wheels fall off.
Independents, on the other hand, have jumped ship.
Nation cuts off nose to spite face.
Drop in immigrant tax filings may cost government billions as IRS shares data with ICE www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Trump was a failed businessman, who merely played a canny real estate mogul on TV. ..in the real world there are no editors to wipe away his errors and make sense of his babbling and real-world disasters will be much more consequential than bankrupt casinos. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Mike Levin: It should be a much bigger story that JD Vance flew to Hungary, stood on a campaign stage, and told voters to return a head of government widely documented for human rights abuses and democratic backsliding. Then, after his candidate lost, Vance said what had happened during the Hungarian campaign was “one of the worst examples of foreign election interference that I’ve ever seen or ever even read about.” Was he describing himself?
It's reverse Robin Hood.
