I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
Jasmine Crockett to Pam Bondi:
So much respect for Jasmine Crockett.

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.
I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.
I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but EVERY FUCKING RETAILER needs to show the tariffs next to the price -- not just Amazon.
Walmart, Target (where I do not shop), ALL OF THEM. It's a fucking tax, why shouldn't we see it?
I want to know exactly how much trump's tariffs are jacking my prices up. DON'T YOU?
Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

BREAKING
Remember when we said NY AG Letitia James had the power to investigate Trump tariff-related stock market manipulation and insider trading?
IT'S HAPPENING.
James just confirmed an investigation has been opened.

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country?
Congress? Any answers?
Everyone wants to focus on the strategy. The messaging failures. The tactical faceplants. None of it matters. Not really. Because the problem isn’t the strategy.
The problem is the audience.
You can mock the White House’s response, call it a clown car, call it a panic spiral, call it what it is: A panicked, unraveling cover-up from a regime so convinced of its own impunity it can’t even lie coherently anymore. But the deeper rot? The thing no one in the Beltway wants to say out loud?
It’s working.
…
So what’s your answer, Patrick?
Exactly what I’m seeing. Not quite four months into this and his supporters still making excuses for him and still unbelievably blaming Dems (ie He only won because they were so terrible,) I fear things will have to get much worse - primarily economically and health wise- before enough people start waking up. My husband and I have started making financial adjustments. Next on the To Do list are updated wills.
Yes. Same here. The excuses are endless, shameless, and completely impervious to contradiction. The worst part? They’re not even defending him anymore. They’re defending the need for him to be right. Because the alternative would mean confronting everything they ignored, enabled, or endorsed. Most of them just… won’t.
I agree with you—things will likely have to get a lot worse. Not because it’s inevitable, but because that’s how deep the delusion runs. Economic collapse, health crises, institutional breakdown. I also have a fear that none of it will be seen as consequence, just more proof the enemies need to be punished harder.

📌Coming off the terrible pandemic that killed millions, America's economy was the strongest in the world. It wasn't great, but was improving. That's no fairy tale.
It took just 100 days for Trump to fuck that all up. That's no fairy tale, either.
