As he loses it politically and mentally, Trump in his public speeches is "more profane, more absolutist, longer-winded and less coherent than he was in 2016." trib.al/ZEy8Wm2

A judge blocked the rush on unaccompanied children's asylum cases, a good thing but not enough. Not even children are spared by this administration. cgrs.uclawsf.edu/en/news/adv…

How the hell did this Administration allow a 28-year-old DOGE operative with zero government experience to take over USAID, fire thousands of federal employees, and shut down lifesaving aid programs around the world?
Not to mention that HR had zero record of him working there, he never completed his background paperwork to legally start working for the agency, and he didn’t even have an ID badge, because, officially, he didn’t exist as an employee.
And yet, all on his own, this man was given the go ahead to lock staff out of their own systems and use your taxpayer dollars to gut lifesaving programs with zero transparency.
The Trump Administration owes the American people and Congress answers. Who signed off on this? Why on earth was he given this kind of power?
This wasn’t an accident. Someone handed this man unchecked power, someone knew he wasn’t legally authorized to use it, and someone decided that there was nothing wrong with that.
Well, everything is wrong with that. Congress needs answers about this, and that is NOT optional.

Can you imagine if men were as embarrassed about rape as they are about looking gay?

If voter fraud is such a concern for Trump, why would he pardon a former election official who was convicted on three misdemeanors and four felonies in an election interference case related to a security breach of her county's voting system?

I bet you didn’t know that an Afghan man served in the Union army 165 years ago.
I went to visit his grave yesterday in Brooklyn.
In 1861, an Afghan man joined the Union Army. He fought at Gettysburg, was wounded, and earned his pension. It took 16 years, but America kept its word. Keep it again.

Notice how it's somehow the government's job to legislate a few Bible verses on human sexuality over our entire country, but it's suddenly "not the government's job" when it comes to the +2,500 Bible verses calling for a generous use of wealth that prioritizes the poor.
