Wow! Hegseth covered up that Iran wiped out our main resupply base in Bahrain. That's why the Lincoln couldn't get what it needed. Sailors dealing with shortages and breaking mentally after 9 months. And tRump? "Fake news." Anyone surprised?

Texas Republicans don’t want the truth about what their abortion bans did to women. So the state committee that reviews maternal deaths is skipping 2022 & 2023, the exact years the bans took hold. You can’t claim to care about life & refuse to count the dead.

tRump’s DOJ is sending 1,000 “monitors” to watch us vote. Same day they lost their 23rd straight court fight over our voter data. This isn’t protection, it’s intimidation dressed up as democracy. They’re already building the next big lie & don't even try hiding it anymore.

Only three states still approve of tRump. Idaho, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
And I live in one of them. 😢
Feels pretty lonely out here being blue in this deep red state while the rest of the country has finally had enough.

tRump doesn’t want a better deal with Canada. He wants their economy to “effectively fold.” That’s the assessment from a White House reporter. tRump’s said for over a year Canada couldn’t survive without us. We're seeing tRump economic warfare against our closest ally.

tRump is about to revoke up to 200,000 visas in the largest mass cancellation in US history. People who entered legally and later sought asylum are the target. On top of that, a $103,000 fee on H-1B visas. This isn’t reform, it’s cruel overreach.

Spoiled brat tRump is melting down again. Just threatened to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America” and posted a map with the name crossed out in gold letters. All because Canada won’t bend over on trade. This is what passes for diplomacy now in the tRump regime. Pathetic.

The White House is melting down hard over Ossoff. tRump’s people are calling him a “cuck loser” & “feminine theatre kid,” while tRump himself goes with “Pee-Wee Herman.” When the personal attacks get this wild, it usually means they’re trying to bury a real scandal.

Baby tRump is threatening to demolish the Kennedy Center if he doesn’t get his renovations & his name on the building. His board already voted to inscribe “Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump.” tRump is acting like a misbehaved toddler yet again.

tRump’s DOJ is so focused on political payback that real cases are falling apart. Juries don’t trust them anymore, and an alleged MS-13 ringleader might walk free because of the corruption. The hidden cost of tRump's vendettas is hitting public safety.

Justice Jackson didn’t hold back. She says the Supreme Court is “jeopardizing” a fair election by greenlighting tRump’s mail ballot executive order. Pre-election chaos right before the midterms. tRump's being handed the tools to steal the vote for Republicans.

Canada is matching tRump’s 50% tariffs dollar for dollar after he blew up the talks. His trade bullying is already backfiring — higher costs for Americans while Canada shifts to other markets and partners. tRump's idiotic campaign isn’t working.

tRump’s 50% tariffs blew up Canada trade deal. Now Ontario’s premier is threatening to cut the electricity that powers 1.5 million US homes & businesses. Part of New York could go dark. This is yet another disaster tRump started with our closest ally.

This ballot measure would give Idahoans basic reproductive rights again. So naturally the Republican Party is already plotting to kill it if voters pass it. They talk freedom nonstop until it means women controlling their own bodies.

tRump “won” on tariffs?
😂
The bar is now “didn’t crash the global economy.”
Prices up, manufacturing flat, small businesses crushed, courts tossing his illegal tariffs… but sure, victory lap.
Only in this clown show does “not a total disaster” count as winning.

tRump just blew up trade with Canada. 50% tariffs after the talks failed, so Carney is matching them dollar for dollar. Vance is mocking Canada as a “state” that needs us. Our closest ally & tRump’s raising prices for US citizens just to flex. Bottom line, he's an idiot.

tRump says he heard from a retired admiral that the USS Lincoln is “beautifully maintained.” 🤥
Meanwhile our sailors are stuck out there over 240 days with mold in the showers, eating gray mystery meat, and some so broken they’re trying to jump off the damn ship. 😢

tRump got another gift from HIS Supreme Court today. They’re letting him move forward with the executive order cracking down on mail ballots. Blue states have to deal with DHS voter lists & new USPS rules with the midterms weeks away. This is textbook voter suppression! 😡
