Regardless of party, may this nation never again have a President so disrespectful to a free and plural press…his problem is he was asked an entirely reasonable, smart question … on behalf of all of us - the public. Keep asking the questions.

Let’s be honest about what we’re watching here. 🇺🇸 330 million people, the country that put men on the moon, defeated the Nazis is now sitting on its sofa watching its president post crayon drawings of Venezuela with an American flag on it. At least the Russians who oppose Putin have a reasonable excuse not to speak up. Siberia is cold and windows are tall. At least North Koreans can point to the very real possibility of their entire extended family being relocated to a concrete box with no heating. These are legitimate barriers to civic engagement. What’s America’s excuse? You can vote. You can protest. You can run for office. Nobody is sending you to a gulag. The worst thing that happens is someone calls you a name on Truth Social. And yet, there you all sit, 330 million of you, watching a man who cannot spell “Venezuela” claim it as American territory, while nodding along like this is a completely normal thing for a head of state to do. No dictator in modern history has done more damage to the prestige of a country’s highest office than this man, and he’s done it entirely voluntarily, with access to the full resources of the American government, and a communications team that apparently just lets him post whatever falls out of his head before breakfast. Kim Jong-un, for all his considerable faults, has never once posted a map with a flag on it and called it foreign policy. Think about that. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

The President of the United States is now routinely calling people stupid, dumb, low IQ, etc., and the media just keep on asking questions and moving on like it’s nothing. We are broken.

PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying that he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation? Rep. McGovern: Is anybody surprised? I’ve been saying all along that Trump doesn’t give a shit about the people of this country. I’ll tell you what he does care about—his ballroom, his golf course, his reflecting pool, his arches. He cares about things that benefit him.

OMG!!! Trump just EXPLODED at a female reporter for asking him about his sudden request from Congress for DOUBLE the amount for his ballroom. "I doubled the size of it, you DUMB PERSON. I doubled it. You're not a smart person." Holy hell.

ABC has filed a lawsuit against Trump’s FCC, alleging that the agency is violating their free speech rights by threatening to restrict their programming.

Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held, to prevent interference or intimidation. You’d think an acting Attorney General would know this.

Trump and his family have now made $4 BILLION off the presidency, including more than $3 billion from crypto alone. Here’s a radical idea. What about having a president who wants to improve the financial well-being of ALL Americans, not just his own family and fellow oligarchs.

The ballroom went from $200 million & privately funded, to $300 million, to $400 million and taxpayers cover some of it, to MAGA trying to silently jam through $1 BILLION, 100% of which is our tax money, for this ballroom. WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

In Uno that means you are losing.

Trump doesn’t want people to see this video: Donald Trump campaigned on “getting gasoline below $2 / gallon.” Are you paying $2 for gas right now?

I've never been so relieved to have already renewed my passport.

I mean, I know we all know this, but it is still insane that people who work for Donald Trump, the most verbally abusive, name-calling, threatening, violence-inciting politician of the modern era, can dare give lectures to anyone else on language or name-calling. Just shameless.
