Hey I'm tired of this happening also

Did you know? The word “trumpery” appeared in the 15th century with the meanings “deceit” or “fraud”. 100 years later, it was being applied to objects of little or no value. Then in the 1900’s, it came to mean “showy but worthless”. — Today, it is equated with “fascist shit”.

Sure. Tell Grandma to just head on over to X to sign up for her benefits.

There are still quite a few scientists in the US who think that they can weather the storm. Some of them voted for this administration to run the country and its scientific enterprise.
Some do not get how policy works, some are racists, most do not understand how today is rooted in US history.

State tells employees to report on one another for ‘anti-Christian bias’ “It’s very ‘Handmaid’s Tale’-esque,” one official said.

The Trump admin has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new EO on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

I can't seem to settle either.

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime.

Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed.

I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

Trump’s Horrifying Removal of Man in “Error” Takes an Even Darker Turn The Trump administration could allow Kilmar Abrego Garcia back into the U.S. and try to deport him through proper channels. So why won’t it even do that?

Don't overlook this: Trump is leaving Abrego Garcia to rot in a foreign gulag even though the admin can always bring him back and *retry him for deportation in a lawful way.* That they won't do this shows their case against him is nonsense.

To acquire a birth certificate you can't do it online or by phone. I had to send by US mail a notarized request to the county of birth. It cost $. It took at least a month. Millions will be unaware or unprepared for the process or be unable to take care of it in time to vote. Call senators.

Trump administration overrode Social Security staff to list immigrants as dead A senior executive who objected was marched out of his office and put on leave, while earlier warnings about the agency’s deaths database were ignored.

Earlier this year, employees began to fear bad actors, could target people for punishment by declaring them dead: “Anybody granted the appropriate permissions within Social Security could mark someone as dead, employees had realized, without having to prove their demise in any way” wapo.st/3RKSQQt

Absolutely this.

He's the new Rush Limbaugh.

Alina Habba has launched a criminal probe into New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy over "ICE obstruction."

Immigration control is the responsibility of the federal government.

States can’t be compelled to assist ICE under the 10th Amendment.

It's amazing this failed lawyer passed the bar exam.

What is happening in #iowa for recess?

A crowd watching two men with flamethrowers burning boxes meant to simulate books…

I tell anyone who will listen that Missouri has been running the pilot for Project 2025 for decades.

Here are two Missouri Senators burning the “woke agenda” nearly two years ago. The photo op was meant to simulate Nazis burning books.

Who isn't petrified? What if we just pointed all of our energy toward congressional Republicans because they can stop this. They could have stopped it all along the way to here. Truthfully, this is their fault.

Musk’s Latest Fraud Finding Isn’t What It Seems His team found cases of seemingly fake people receiving unemployment benefits. But that fake data exists for a reason.

They’re About to Hand Trump Further Unchecked Powers

Congress is voting on the **“No Rogue Rulings Act” (H.R. 1526)**. If it passes, courts would no longer be able to block his illegal actions—giving him unchecked power.
