WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!

Powerful.

This is the perfect picture metaphor for America under Trump and MAGA

Cartoon by @deadder.bsky.social. The king has no clothes.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Trump has been the worst president ever for farmers. Twice. But they voted for him three times. Now they want the rest of America to give them welfare. When they did it to themselves. But they don’t like socialism.

So Trump is just going to put farmers out of business and give them corporate welfare? While sending $20 billion to Argentina? This is the Golden Age?

OBAMA / BIDEN → LOVE & HEALING TRUMP / VANCE → HATE & SUFFERING Your choice?

It grieves me to see people I’ve known for years (some as far back as the Jesus Movement of the 1970s) seduced by a mean-spirited culture-war Christianity that is but a perverse caricature of the authentic faith formed around Jesus of Nazareth. Yes, it grieves me terribly.

"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."

Sen. Ron Johnson just floated sending Obama to Guantanamo. These people aren’t trolling...they’re laying groundwork. For arrests. For show trials. For dictatorship. Don’t laugh it off. Call it what it is: fascism with a smile.

Love it!

We live in alarming times. The rampant racism and misogyny. The anti-immigrant fervor. Decent people, church going people, people who love their dogs and kids and would give a neighbor the shirt off their back, have fallen in line behind a deceitful, hateful vision of American white nationalism.

Amen.

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

Every time I read about these law firms caving I think about the sporting goods store owner in the Sopranos who got in hock to Tony and how Tony’s crew ended up cleaning out his store and bankrupting him …. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bust_Out

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Tariffs will be lifted on penguins who agree to be completely white. by Stephen Miller

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?

In case you were wondering.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

Musk is rich because you gave him $38 billion in tax money to make that. He is happy to tell you what you don’t need. He’s also picking a side in foreign policy, and it’s not our side

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

Some have disappointed, some have bad policy, some made big mistakes. But I’ve never in my life been ashamed of American leaders. Until today.

Trump behavior today with Pres Zulensky was shameful. We have lost our standing with Europe and global allies. We are now an ally of Putin.

Trump is too much of a coward to say a bad thing to Putin, yet he dares lecture Zelensky? Russia is on the verge of collapse and Trump/Vance are desperate to save them
