The Trump Administration wants to use YOUR tax dollars to pay January 6 rioters.
I'm headed to the floor right now to force a vote on my bill to make sure this doesn’t happen.
The people who broke into the Capitol, beat police officers, and attacked our democracy do not deserve your hard-earned taxpayer dollars.
Trump now wants to spend $1.8 billion of your money on a slush fund for his friends and allies, including people who stormed the Capitol and assaulted law enforcement. While Americans are struggling to afford groceries and gas, Trump is handing out taxpayer money to reward loyalty instead of helping working people.
Republicans are helping Trump STEAL from the American people to fund his ballroom and his MAGA slush fund.
Democrats will offer amendment after amendment to lower costs on everything from health care to groceries to gasoline.
The contrast could not be clearer.
Trump said he wanted to 'drain the swamp.' Instead, he has filled the sewer with corruption, cronyism, conflict, and chaos while taking a chainsaw to the Constitution.
I will continue to fight to hold the President accountable and call out his Republican majority for being complicit in his schemes.
Donald Trump has been in office for 16 months. At this point, do you believe that Kamala Harris would have been a better president than he is?
Yes👍 or No👎
Can we just be honest? Don’t you want a kind leader who does not send the children of other people to war so casually, who feels and shows some remorse when troops bomb nearly 200 schoolgirls to death, regardless of the color of their skin, country of residence, or religion?
Don’t you want a leader who prioritizes the good of citizens, who does not sue taxpayers for $10 billion for personal gain, who does not side with pedophiles or move the people who abused children into minimum-security prisons for relaxation? Don’t you want a leader who believes in free trade and imposes targeted tariffs designed to benefit America strategically, rather than slapping tariffs on nearly every country and every corner of the world at the same time?
Don’t you want a leader who, when a Department of Homeland Security agent shoots and kills an American citizen like Renée Nicole Good in Minneapolis, calls for a full and transparent investigation instead of rushing to defend the agents before all the facts are even known? Don’t you want a leader who respects the dignity of the office and the dignity of citizens, who does not casually refer to citizens as dogs, monkeys, or animals simply because they disagree with him or come from somewhere else?
Don’t you want a leader who does not propose spending $1.8 billion compensating political allies while ordinary Americans struggle to pay rent, buy groceries, or afford healthcare? Don’t you want a leader who understands how it looks to accept a luxury plane from Qatar while claiming to fight for forgotten Americans?
Don’t you want a leader who treats war and military force with gravity instead of casually talking about bombing people at sea whose names he does not even know? Don’t you want a leader who understands that institutions like the Kennedy Center are part of the nation’s shared civic history and not personal branding opportunities, especially when it carries the name of a president who was assassinated in service to the country?
At some point, this stops being about party or ideology and becomes about basic human decency, restraint, competence, humility, and whether power is being used to serve ordinary people or simply to elevate one man and the circle around him.
@mmpadellan MS NOW is a left wing network. Poll is not accurate.
The cable network previously known as MSNBC (which rebranded to MS NOW) continues to skew to the left and is widely rated as having a strong liberal or left-leaning bias.
My goodness, Americans were asked which ONE WORD best describes trump, and clear majorities said "arrogant, corrupt, and dishonest."
What's YOUR one word?
Hollywood Actor Sean Penn said:
“President Trump is an enemy of Americans, Republicans, Democrats, Independents and every new child born. An enemy of mankind…. an enemy of the state.”
Thoughts?
@Drax_Neel@Mary1417796 The real threat was Biden and his administration. They kept him in the basement and used the auto pen 🖊️ to sign executive orders.
🚨 BREAKING: President Joe Biden calls Donald Trump “a threat to the nation and democracy.”
That’s a serious accusation.
👉 Do YOU agree?
YES 🙋♂️ or NO 🙅♂️
Speak your mind below ⬇️
Judiciary Republicans should spare us the faux outrage about @splcenter. No counterfeit finger-pointing will undo President Trump's careful cultivating and coddling of the extreme Right for as long as he has been in politics.
The real fraud in America is coming from the White House, not the SPLC: a $1.8 billion plunder of the taxpayers to pay off Trump’s private militia of white nationalist foot soldiers.
Joe Biden showed his tax returns.
Barack Obama showed his tax returns.
George W. Bush showed his tax returns.
Bill Clinton showed his tax returns.
Every President since Richard Nixon started doing it in the early 70s has VOLUNTARILY shown their tax returns.
Why should this crooked, corrupt MF, who also suspiciously did not want the Epstein files revealed, why should HE get to keep his returns secret?
Why should he and his family be exempt from audits? That is f*cking insane.
What happened to transparency?
What is he hiding?
@BarackObama He stood up for gay rights because he was gay. Lol!
That being said, we wish him well going through this difficult time.
Even though he was a liberal democrat from Massachusetts, I don’t remember him getting down and dirty like Schumer, Pelosi, and Hakeem Jeffries.
Barney Frank was one of a kind. For more than three decades in Congress, he fought tirelessly for the people of Massachusetts, helped make housing more affordable, stood up for the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans, and helped pass one of the most sweeping financial reforms in history designed to protect consumers and prevent another financial crisis. Barney’s passion and wit were second to none, and our thoughts are with his family today.
🚨: Actor Michael Shannon on Donald Trump: “He’s an idiot. He’s a total idiot. He’s not my president. I will never call him the President of the United States.”
What’s your response?
The slush fund.
The ballroom.
The IRS get-out-of-jail-free card.
Donald Trump isn’t serving the American people — he’s serving himself. And he thinks you’re dumb enough to fall for it.
