The Trump apologist checklist after Trump or his administration does something awful:
1. Fake news, it didn’t happen.
2. It might’ve happened, but it would be OK if it happened.
3. So it happened, so what.
4. Whatabout [insert names of various presidents here]
💯 this. Trump believes he’s untouchable, that he’s above the law, and that he will never be held accountable for what he does. And most everyone in my former political party has learned from Trump and mimics Trump. Bcuz they now believe the same. 💯 this.👇
Looks like Trump and Hegseth might be preparing to throw the military under the bus on the second strike.
This is why you don’t execute illegal orders. Because you are responsible
Trump normally:
Let me be clear: As Commander-in-Chief, I am totally responsible for this successful military action.
Hegseth normally:
Let me be clear: As Secretary of War, I ordered and directed this warrior-like military action.
Trump and Hegseth today:
We know nothing!
Trump bought Boeing bonds while giving them billions in contracts. He bought Intel bonds after directing the government to take 10% of the company. He bought Meta bonds while pushing META-friendly policy. He's not a president. He's an inside trader.
Mark Kelly just unloaded a lifetime of receipts:
“When Trump was driving the Taj Mahal into bankruptcy, I was being shot at over Iraq.
When Trump was writing birthday notes to Epstein, I was recovering the bodies of my fellow astronauts.
When Trump was peddling conspiracies
It seems so futile to try to get through to Trumpers.But from Robert Reich: Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business. It paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay. It also spent $196M in stock buybacks.
Show this to everyone you know that identifies as Christian.
This may be the best, most powerful argument ever made, from the pulpit, on behalf of poor Americans.

During the shutdown, the Senate approved adding $32B to Trump's already record breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget.
The Senate still hasn't voted on extending ACA subsidies — which would cost $35B.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Gen Z is spending more on essentials than previous generations, yet their wages aren't keeping up.
It's no wonder they aren't "spending like retailers need them to."
When 70% of the economy depends on consumer spending, people need money to spend. It's as simple as that.
Wealth in America is the most concentrated at the top since the Gilded Age.
The wealthy make billions in untaxed, unrealized capital gains.
Executives are paid more than ever, and corporations pay lower taxes than ever.
THIS is why the economy isn't working for us.
Contrast these two stories: a 19-year-old college student living in the U.S. since age 7, deported on her way home to surprise her family.
Meanwhile, Trump pardons a convicted drug trafficker who brought 400 TONS OF COCAINE into the U.S.
Is he really making America any safer?
The U.S. has conducted 19 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing at least 76 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a
BREAKING: Donald Trump just claimed he's slashing drug prices by "200%, 300%, 400%, 500%, 600%, 700%, 800%—Nobody's ever heard of it before!"
Folks, this is the same guy who promised Mexico would pay for the wall and that COVID would disappear like a miracle. Now he's out here
Somalis are not garbage. Immigrants and refugees from anywhere are people like you and me. They should not be demonized. This country is built on the backs of people who have come from other places. It’s what our country is all about. 💙
