Donald J Trump on Truth Social, March 23, 2025 11:56 AM

I just watched our GREAT Republican Congressman from North Carolina, CHUCK EDWARDS, hold a Town Hall in Asheville. He was a total gentleman, but the room was “littered” with Radical Left Lunatics, mostly Democrats, and all they did was scream, shout and use filthy language. They were largely paid agitators, with fake signs and slogans, and were only there to make TROUBLE! Chuck put up with it, and was WONDERFUL! Remember, BIDEN AND HIS FEMA DID NOTHING FOR NORTH CAROLINA and the terrible hurricane which did so much damage. As soon as I got to office, we worked miracles, with ZERO HELP FROM THE DEMS. WE HAVE BEEN PRAISED FOR THE JOB THAT WE DID, AND THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN SCORNED. Also remember, you have a Democrat Governor who is supposed to be doing the work that Chuck, and other Republicans, are doing. Don’t let infiltrated Town Halls fool you. It the only thing the Dems know how to do. Great Job Chuck!!!

"FEMA resumes door-to-door visits in North Carolina after threats tied to disinformation" spread by right-wing militia.

Maybe wait until Congressional hearings before pointing fingers? "Federal funding... is about $9 billion of a $110 billion package approved in Dec."

While it's fun to watch Tesla stock take a nose dive, keep in mind that Elon doesn't give a shit. He's about to make billions in government contracts and kickbacks.

In list form it reads:

1. Acknowledge Reality & Refuse to
Normalize It
Denial is how genocides continue. Keep learning, speaking out, and resisting any pressure to downplay the situation.

2. Find Ways to Take Action
Even if you're just one person, collective action starts somewhere: Amplify the truth
- Support affected communities - Resist in tangible ways

3. Protect Your Mental & Emotional WellBeing
Guilt, anger, and despair are natural, but you can't help anyone if you burn out.
Take breaks from doom-scrolling. Connect with like-minded people. Seek therapy or community support if you're struggling.

4. Remember That Silence Is Complicity Every voice, every act of defiance, every refusal to look away matters. History remembers those who spoke up-and those who didn't.

Heavy question.

How do you live with yourself when your government is committing a genocide?

The answer made me cry. It's hard to know everything is wrong when it appears you're doing everything right.

But I dried my tears and tried my best to do good today.

Trump’s “detention camps” are concentration camps and his “mass deportations” are ethnic cleansing. Stop using the language of the perpetrator and say it how it really is. Speak truth with your chest. #3E #EndAutogenocide #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy

Short-staffed Navy hospital in Washington moves more than 700 patients off base for medical care The internal medicine clinic at the Navy’s third largest base in the United States is now staffed with one doctor for 2,200 patients, forcing officials to move one-third of the backlog of cases to med...

Right up the road from me. This hospital has historically been plagued with staff shortages. And the local health care system is already overburdened. This could create a crisis.

Judges aren't kidding around.

Federal judge not only just blocked Trump administration's attempt to cut NIH's funding of indirect costs (emergency motion for TRO was earlier today).

The judge has also imposed a reporting requirement to ensure compliance.⬇️
