Under Donald Trump’s fiscal year 2027 budget proposal, defense spending would increase by $1.5 trillion while billions are removed from programs tied to trust and treaty responsibilities to tribal nations.
These cuts disregard Native communities and violate the federal government’s fiduciary duty.
In a Tuesday Truth Social Post, Donald Trump threatened that “a whole civilization will die tonight” as the deadline for reaching a ceasefire with Iran draws near.
That alone should be a reason to invoke the 25th Amendment.
Saudi Arabia has closed the Bahrain Causeway, fearing Iranian attacks. It has been increasingly mentioned as a potential target, especially if Donald Trump carries out his threat to strike Iran’s bridges.
Decimating civilian infrastructure like bridges is wrong, no matter the regime.
I am very excited to announce that I am launching my own independent political journalism brand on Substack! Feel free to subscribe:
A U.S. Army staff sergeant and his wife arrived at his Louisiana base last week to start their life together as newlyweds. But within hours, ICE agents came onto the base and detained his wife, who had been brought to the U.S. as a toddler.
This is so vile. This is what a police state looks like.
In a Truth Social post, Donald Trump threatened strikes on Iran’s power plants and bridges if the Strait of Hormuz isn’t reopened to ships by Tuesday, warning Iran will be “living in hell.”
He’s threatening to commit war crimes.
He’s probably at Walter Reed for his 20th “extremely hard cognitive test” and an urgent dementia infusion.
Donald Trump proposed increasing defense spending to $1.5 trillion in his 2027 budget, which would be the largest request in decades.
The MAGA agenda: more money for endless war in the Middle East, none for the average American.
In a letter to the American people, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian questioned whether “America First” is truly a priority for the U.S. government. He argued that the conflict with Iran does not benefit the United States.
He sounds way more Presidential than Trump.
The average price of gas in the U.S. climbed above $4 per gallon on Tuesday for the first time since August 2022. This is the largest increase ever recorded.
Trump slashes prices the same way he ends wars.
The Trump administration has sued Minnesota and its school athletics governing body over the state’s policy allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls’ sports.
This is a blatant violation of federalist principles to sue Minnesota for upholding its own 30-year-old anti-discrimination laws.
As states have moved ahead to pass dozens of laws to regulate AI, guidelines designed to protect children - state lawmakers, including Republicans, are facing resistance from the White House.
They care more about benefiting Big Tech billionaires than letting states decide how to keep children safe.
Welp. Todd chose to be a Trump sycophant to further his fascist regime. I have only 3 words: #ETTD #FAFO #Karma
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons has been hospitalized at least twice for stress-related issues.
Sounds like he’d have a lot less stress if he tried being a better person.
Victoria Barton, a FEMA external affairs official, told lawmakers that the Disaster Relief Fund is “rapidly depleting.” FEMA can continue its disaster response and recovery efforts as long as the fund still has money.
Republicans are effectively holding the country’s disaster response hostage.
James Talarico said he forgives Pete Hegseth’s pastor for praying for his death. He responded to remarks from Brooks Potteiger, Hegseth’s closest spiritual adviser, who said, “We want him crucified with Christ.”
No hate like "MAGA Christian love.” Christian nationalism is nazism with Bible quotes.
Trump cant even win his own district!
L O S E R
Democrats have flipped a Florida legislative district that includes Mar-a-Lago! Emily Gregory, a first-time candidate with a background in public health, won the special election to claim a seat previously held by a Republican.
Donald Trump will now be represented by a Democrat!
Germany’s President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, called the Iran war a “disastrous mistake” that violates international law and warned it could fracture Germany’s relationship with the United States.
This conflict is an unnecessary threat to global stability, not a legitimate security measure.
Delta Air Lines announced that it will suspend special services for members of Congress due to the impact of the partial government shutdown on air travel across the country.
All Air Lines should be doing this. If they represent us, they should live like us.
According to Palm Beach County records, Donald Trump submitted a mail-in ballot for an upcoming Florida special election, even as he continues to publicly criticize it as fraudulent.
It’s about what benefits him most. Trump can’t win without cheating.
The NAACP President condemned Donald Trump’s deployment of ICE agents to airports, and criticized his allies for blocking a proposal to fund TSA agents.
The GOP won’t fund the people who are trained to do the job, but they’ll send a paramilitary alternative who aren’t even trained to replace them.

Zohran Mamdani has launched the “Pothole Blitz” after heavy snow and freezing temperatures damaged roads across the city. The effort focuses on sending DOT crews across the five boroughs to repair thousands of potholes.
Zohran is getting things done and fixing New York City for the average person!
the GOP sure has a fetish about peoples "parts"
A proposed Tennessee law could make transgender residents' private medical records public. Earlier this week, Republicans in the state House of Representatives voted to advance House Bill 754.
Being cruel towards a group of people who just want to be left alone and exist in peace.
An immigration judge has denied the asylum claim for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos.
This is disgusting. A country that does this to a child is anything but great.
The Pentagon is requesting $200 billion in additional funds for the Iran war.
Disgraceful. Deny this appropriation. America wants things like fully funded universal healthcare, child care, and SNAP benefits, not an endless war.
If there’s one thing Trump doesn’t care about at all, it’s consent.
