Name one thing your family buys every month that got cheaper since Trump took over. Not one sale at one store for one week. Every month. I’ll wait. #RepublicanAffordabilityCrisis

NEW: We knew in April that DOJ was investigating Hutchinson. Now NBC reports they are seeking a grand jury indictment for lying to Congress. The thing is, she didn't lie to Congress. She testified truthfully about what someone else told her. nbcnews.com/politics/justice…

The Interior Department was caught trying to use public conservation funds to hand Yosemite acreage to a luxury developer. Now they want to bypass Congress entirely to force the swap through. Stop the privatization: actionnetwork.org/letters/te…

ICE immediately exiting their car and don't even hesitate before pumping three shots into the other car. These people are unstable & inhumane.

Dear Trump voters,
It's truly ridiculous that anyone in 2026 - after ten years of Trump - would have to explain these facts to you but here I go anyway...

Of all RFK Jr's anti science crap..this for me is one of the very very worst
The HPV vaccine is on the way to ELIMINATING CERVICAL CANCER in many countries
And he wants to stop it
For him..even cervical cancer is better than a vaccine
Sick
RFK Jr.: "Gardasil is probably the single worst mass vaccine that we've ever seen. This vaccine targets millions of preteens and teens for whom the risk of dying from cervical cancer is zero. Nobody in their right mind would ever take this vaccine if they actually read the clinical literature."
"Death rates in the Gardasil trials were 37 times the death rates for cervical cancer. Children who take that vaccine, the Gardasil vaccine, are 37 times more likely to die from the vaccine than they are to die from cervical cancer. The problem with Gardasil, like most vaccines, is it was never tested against a true placebo, an inert placebo."
"And the CDC and HHS say, if you don't test it against a true placebo, it's not science. You have no way of gauging whether the injuries you're seeing from the product are being caused by that product, or whether they're just bad, sad coincidences. The entity that is actually performing the study is, and paying for the study, is Merck."
"Merck got to decide which injuries were being caused by Gardasil and which were just bad coincidences. And because it had that power, it just wrote them all off as bad coincidences."
"You can do that when there's no placebo, because the injuries they were seeing in the control group, where the girls were getting aluminum neurotoxins, were identical to the injuries they were getting in the Gardasil group."
"So they said, well, we don't have to report any of these as vaccine injuries. They were able to license something that is insanely dangerous."

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump was miles from Ground Zero on 9/11, speaking by phone from his office. He visited the area days later. His story of being lifted from the rubble by firefighters first appeared in 2021 and lacks corroborating evidence. politifact.com/factchecks/202… usatoday.com/story/news/fac… newsweek.com/fact-check-did…

“If you take anything away from my years speaking out about DJT and his noxious brood let it be how closely they have been intertwined with Russia and China since his days as a reality show host and real estate developer.
Trump rented entire floors in his building to China’s largest bank when I worked on the TV show with him. ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ guest lists were a who’s who of the Russian underworld - and this was no secret to Mark Burnett who also sought to curry favor with Russia.
What appeared to be mindless reality show television was a front of sorts for a deeply nefarious criminal enterprise. The NDAs were not by accident - and were not just about Donald’s drug-induced incontinence, prolific use of racial slurs and illiteracy. They were meant to shield a much darker reality beyond the soundstage lights.
If Trump has an attribute that makes his criminality so pervasive, it is his ability to do the unthinkable in plain sight.
His strategy has always been hinged on an audacious desire to publicly pursue feeding his personal demons and defects of character. A man who lusted after and committed multiple crimes against young girls sought and received a television contract to produce ‘Miss Teen USA’. This only happens with Donald Trump - and we must make sure it never happens again - and never stop fighting to hold him accountable on behalf of his many victims and the brave survivors of his predation.
Also, not to lose sight of the fact that he did not act alone; the kompromat gleaned from his involvement with sex trafficking was used to expedite his rise to power. I believe it also reaches into SCOTUS and the Federalist Society’s hold over our judiciary.
Their awful ideology is baked in sin despite their pious overtures towards Conservative Christianity. It is a front for an evil movement that seeks to destroy democracy - and has been more successful than any outside adversary.
Remember their names when this is all over and do not let them slink back into the shadows. The Trump enablers will scurry for the bushes, and right wing podcasts, to eat away at our republic all over again if we do not hold them accountable.”noelcasler.substack.com/p/th…

With the exception of Jan 6, no image will ever capture the epic and absolute failure and destruction caused Donald J. Trump.
Under Trump, America has married its enemies and the dictators of the world and divorced our allies and the leaders and protectors of the free world.

Police shoot driver's puppy dog during traffic stop—in middle of crowded store parking lot.
"The dog was just walking towards him and the cop shot the dog," said witness.
"Then I personally saw cop laughing on the phone about it right after."
"He drew his weapon instantly and that was his first move."
Police officer continues to hold the driver at gunpoint—with gun out and pointed directly at him.
Cop claimed he pulled the man over because he couldn't read his license plate.
The gunshot went through the dog's lung—awaiting surgery in an oxygen chamber.
Incident occurred at a Dollar General parking lot in Los Lunas, New Mexico.
Paul Ward doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

Roy Cohn taught Donald Trump all the tricks. Take whatever you want. Admit nothing. Deny everything. Turn the tables on your accusers. Both are corrupt villains who have deeply damaged our country.

Woah! Republican Congressman, and U.S. Senate Candidate in Georgia Mike Collins literally says he wants people on Social Security to start working again.
Who wants their elderly parents to give up Social Security and rejoin the work force. I know Georgians don't.

Trump wants to end the $17K program keeping disabled Americans home with their families and force them into institutions costing $52K per person. @DavidCayJ makes it known, this isn't a budget decision. It's a deliberate strategy to weaken families until they can't fight back.

A four-star general launched an independent review into Kid Rock’s taxpayer-funded “joy ride” in a military helicopter.
Five days later, Secretary Hegseth fired the general.
He is purging our military of experienced leaders to cover up his own corruption.

just got off the phone with my university friend.
His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in March.
He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.
5 months later:
Savings wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren't their problem.
He told me he's not the same person anymore.
Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn't go away.
They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.
One diagnosis all of it in 7 months.
And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting $35 million bonus this quarter.
I don't know how people defend this system with a straight face.
i really don't.

It's hard to comprehend how deep the corruption is. When the President is engaged in a full time grifting operation, everyone who works for him gets in on the act too.
The most corrupt Administration in the history of the country.
When Corey Lewandowski was at the Department of Homeland Security, he approached senior Qatari officials with a proposal: Hire me on the side. He told Qataris he could help with any issues that fell under the department’s purview, such as visas, and made a similar proposal to the UAE.
Both turned him down.

🚨🚨🚨I post this video every day so we NEVER forget what insurrectionist Donald Trump did on J6
Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Donald unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power
THIS is what an insurrection looks like 👇👇👇
