Kristi Noem's $220M Horseback Riding Ad Dwarfed the Budgets of These 2026 Oscar Nominees Outgoing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem used $220 million in taxpayer money to create a minute-long anti-immigration ad. That's more than the combined production and marketing budgets of nearly every 2026 ...

Some people got very rich building Kristi's brand with our tax money. Noem and Trump are probably both on that list. Republicans have always made themselves and the richest people even richer.

Spain’s Wind-Farm Bargain Renewable-energy projects can boost the economy of a rural townβ€”if the community has a say in development.

Trump killed all federal funding and investment in wind power. He says it causes cancer (lie), that it doesn't work (lie) and they kill whales (lie).
Meanwhile, China is making a fortune leading the world in wind power production.
One more example of Trump's willful ignorance.

Trump promised a health care plan before the end of August. It never came. | CNN Politics President Donald Trump has long promised to release a health care plan that could replace Obamacare, but with just two months to go until the election, he has yet to do so, with his latest self-impose...

I checked this post and it is accurate. Trump promised on July 19, 2020 that a full, complete and very exciting health care plan would be announced in two weeks.
As usual, he was lying. #LockHimUp

NBC News March 2026 Poll 03-08-2024 Release FINAL

This post is a poor representation of what the NBC poll shows. There are fake posts on all social media websites put up by the GOP, Russia and every enemy of our democracy. The poll shows Trump and the GOP to be very unpopular. Dems are unpopular only because they have no power.

Trump told us who he was in 2012. Will we finally believe him today? Trump has always been an election denier. He has always vilified voting. He has always started with lies, escalated to the courts, and ultimately embraced violent rhetoric.

One of the most important things I have written in a while. I hope you read, learn and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Foreign aid from the United States saved millions of lives each year For decades, these aid programs received bipartisan support and made a difference. Cutting them will cost lives.

Do you have any evidence?
Based on analyses of US foreign aid and health initiatives, the United States is credited with saving or averting the deaths of tens of millions to over 100 million people globally over the past few decades via targeted health and humanitarian programs.

He still maintains his support for huge tax cuts for billionaires while raising taxes on working class people. He's still a Republican.

He was the first to expose the real Trump. Now there's only one way to honor him. Remembering the great, truth-digging, shit-kicking Wayne Barrett.

Why will Trump not release the Epstein files?
He's dangerously unstable and starting wars to distract us.
He is moving away from NATO and towards Putin.
This book told the whole story long before Trump even started running for President.
Trump is a born liar and thief. #LockHimUp

Trump blocks FBI terror threat alert linked to Iran war Top Trump officials ordered it placed on hold over concerns that it could show the domestic risk of the war and further erode public support.

Americans are in danger as a result of Trump's Epstein files distraction war. His covering up of these real time warnings and dangers is selfish, ignorant and puts us all at risk.

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.
