Trump brings up the possibility of the cabinet invoking the 25th amendment against him

Republicans used to talk a big game about free markets and accountability. Now? If Donald Trump says jump, they ask how high. No questions, no scrutiny, no backbone. Right now, Americans can tell they’re not getting the full story… and they don’t trust it.

Republicans are trying to pull a sleight of hand Americans while our country is worse off than ever before. 90K+ jobs lost in a single month, gas prices through the roof, and the national debt has now surpassed $39 TRILLION. You can’t ignore reality. Americans are going to say enough is enough.

Mail-in voting suddenly works for Trump when it’s convenient for him. Or maybe, it just works?

Headquarters

Florida election records show Donald, Melania, and Barron Trump all voted by mail in the Florida HD-87 special election. This is despite the fact that Trump calls voting by mail "cheating" and is trying to significantly restrict voting by mail in his SAVE America Act.

In Trump's America, if you are Latino, have an accent, or work the "wrong" job, you're guilty until proven innocent.

Watch the guy supposedly “skilled in reading people” attempt to fight a witness in the middle of a Senate hearing. Oh yeah, and Republicans just made him our new Secretary of Homeland Security.

Donald Trump told Americans to send our sons and daughters to war, but won’t tell us why. If he wants our service members to put their lives on the line, the least he owes us is the truth.

People are really suffering, and if this war continues, it’s about to get worse. Donald Trump promised to lower costs on day one. Instead, working families are paying more for everything, and getting squeezed from every direction.

If Iran really was an "imminent threat," then why won't they say if they agree with Trump when he claimed Iran was 2 weeks away of obtaining a nuclear weapon?

Republicans Senator John Kennedy just admitted on Fox News that the Senate was prepared to fund TSA and end their shutdown, but Trump said no. Next time someone blames Democrats for the chaos unfolding at our airports, show them this clip.

Sending untrained ICE agents into America's airports won't solve the problem Republicans started, it'll make things much worse. Republicans hold the House, Senate, and White House. This shutdown is on them. Instead of causing more chaos, they need to work with Democrats to fund TSA.

If intelligence doesn’t matter, why do these people even have jobs?

Rep. Jimmy Gomez@gomez.house.govMar 22(source)

ICE agents aren't trained to run airport security, yet Trump wants to drop them into crowded terminals and hoping nothing goes wrong. We’ve already seen what happens when agents are put in situations they’re not trained for: things escalate fast, and American citizens pay the prices.

Like millions of Americans across the country, Angelenos see Trump's war with Iran for exactly what it is: a middle finger to working families, a distraction from the Epstein Files, and a complete war of choice.

Our country faces many existential challenges right now, but we have an opportunity to transform America for the better.

If North Korea isn’t considered an imminent threat, why is Iran? The Department of Defense says Iran is still about a decade away from having a missile that can reach the U.S. Meanwhile, Tulsi Gabbard, testified that North Korea has those capabilities today.

Pete Hegseth tried to shut out reporters instead of answering for his disastrous decisions. A federal judge today ruled it unconstitutional. If you can’t handle basic accountability, you shouldn’t be anywhere near the Pentagon.

A judge has ruled that a Pentagon policy limiting independent press access is unlawful, dealing a major blow to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's push for tighter media control. https://cnn.it/47g5dwa

Why didn’t intel chief, Tulsi Gabbard, agree with Trump that Iran was an ‘imminent threat’? Because she couldn’t say it without lying through her teeth. We’ve seen what happens when administration officials tell the truth and it doesn’t match Trump’s narrative, they’re silenced, fired, or ruined.
