- Reposted by FaulkytroutMenendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.
- It breaks my heart to say it, but Trump will ignore all court orders, including those by his bros at the Supreme Court. He will stop 2026 elections and will use any violence on the streets as an excuse to declare martial law. Then the big arrests will take place. There will be no election in 2028

- Reposted by FaulkytroutIn my youth, we were inspired by our govt to serve, to volunteer, to help our fellow man around the world. We were inspired by JFK, the Peace Corps, USAID, then later Americares. To have that instilled in us, then watch it being destroyed by the richest men in the world is a sickening perversion.
- Reposted by FaulkytroutCall me old fashioned, but I think any president creating a meme coin hustle to recruit anonymous financial backers and rewarding the biggest spenders with “a night to remember” private dinner with the president kinda feels like an impeachable offense.
