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.

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

President Trump called the woman pictured below a “loser” for being captured. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and DOGE ordered her service history to be deleted from the Department of Defense archives because she was “DEI” and “woke.”

No single person should have the power to do what Trump is doing right now unilaterally dictating world trade & fucking with the world economy. No person should have that power. Certainly not in this country. Shame on you Congressional Republicans for giving it to him. Shame on you.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

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

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?

Don't leave anything for later.

Later, the coffee gets cold.

Later, you lose interest.

Later, the day turns into night.

Later, people grow up.

Later, people grow old.

Later, life goes by.

Later, you regret not doing something... when you had the chance.

You hit publish, and there’s no reaction.

No likes. No shares. Just silence.

But writing isn't about receiving praise.

It’s about leaving parts of yourself for others to discover.

It may take days.

It may take years.

But keep writing, regardless…

The richest man in the world spent more money than most people will see in a lifetime to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact that his $25M was a drop in the bucket compared to what he spent on other elections is why we must overturn Citizens United.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

I’m not so sure “they’ll” risk a Kamela Presidency. The fact that she can’t walk and chew gum would become obvious to many more people…and then, also, if she didn’t immediately close the border, she’d finally be cornered as responsible for it…and her intensions.

can send her on foreign travel, it looks good, presidential...do it all the time

What if Trump was trying to create an economic situation that would force the Fed to cut interest rates, and he is doing this so he can refinance our massive debt at a lower interest rate? Still think he doesn’t know what he’s doing?

NO PROPERTY TAXES FOR 65 and OVER- this would give relief to strained social security and ensure the elderly can never have their homes taken away. 

Similar to the Homestead Act passed in 1862 which protects residence from creditors. 

Trump Will Propose This!

Today was pretty surreal

I had this front row view to 2 of MAGA’s strongest voices defending not only President Trump’s policies, but also his 77+ million voters who want a secure border, safer streets, and mass deportations is a day I won’t soon forget

It’s an incredible honor to sit in the “new media” chair in the White House press brief…
