The post from @realDonaldTrump claims that 24 Karat Gold was used in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room of the White House, impressing foreign leaders and others with its quality and beauty. It describes this as the "Best Oval Office ever" in terms of success and appearance, signed by "President DJT."
Utilities, groceries, health care premiums all going sky high, and he’s blabbering on like he’s Louis XIV in Versailles.

We do not have to keep living like this.
ICE released a video meant to sell cruelty as justice. It shows Hyundai workers chained at the wrists, belly, & ankles, marched like dangerous criminals.
Filming humiliation is disgraceful propaganda meant to instill more hatred & fear.
We must continue to expose their white nationalist agenda.
This is very accurate
The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him
The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses.
We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.
Giving a predator like Ghislain Maxwell a platform, moving her to a comfortable prison without receiving anything in return except to claim innocence and say you’re nice guy— when 100’s of children where victimized is a miscarriage of justice.
Epstein survivor—“…She also participated in the abuse…”
"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers
The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivors’ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them.
Including the ones in Congress and the perp in the Oval Office.
I like the rebrand.
Who voted for war with Venezuela?

This isn't going away like the Epstein files.
This is just sad. We’ve posted about this before. Now here is what is going down.
The rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial in Orlando (created to honor the 49 lives lost in the 2016 shooting) has now become the target of state enforcement.
Pope Leo XIV today offered his prayers for the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting victims and called for an end to the "pandemic of arms, large and small."
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

I was worried they were starting to get it. It doesn’t appear that will happen anytime soon though.
Again, Hegseth is justifying all of his stupid firings because he wants our warriors focused on fighting. Instead he has them working as mall cops, picking up garbage, searching for drugs, stopping cars in cities…
Weak!

I think there are at least 3 easily made impeachment cases with multiple instances under each heading
1. Impoundment
2. Illegal Firings
3. Violating court orders
There are also immigration abuses, but the most meaningful of those probably tuck in under 3.
At Cerro Pelon, the monarch sanctuary.
Who can blame them.

First, they came for John Bolton
And I did speak out
Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache,
I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.
On this date in 2021, the House honored the work of my mentor and friend, Congressman John Lewis by passing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to protect against discriminatory gerrymandering and other attacks on our democracy. Unfortunately, the Senate refused to act on it.
