Trump gave $40B of Americans' money to the fascist in Argentina, $1B on Trump’s Qatar jet, $250M+ on Trump’s ballroom, $150M and increasing everyday on Trump’s golf, $520M+ on Trump's National Guard deployments & $200M on Kristi Noem’s jets - but we can’t spend a penny on lowering our healthcare or funding our government.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🚀 Trump: Ukraine is not using our missiles, they are using European missiles. I don't control that.

I control our missiles and they are not shooting our missiles.

Probably Unpopular Hot Take:

Since Trump is already destroying the White House, and has paved over the Rose Garden to look like a strip mall, and didn't get building permits for any of the shit he's done/doing, I think we should just bulldoze the whole goddamn building. Seriously.

1.) "The People's House" hasn't been ours for a generation.
2.) It is a vestige of slave holding plantations.
3.) The President isn't a king, and shouldn't have a palace.
4.) There isn't enough sage in the whole of the world to cleanse that place once he's gone.

Seriously. Bulldoze it. The President can work from the Capitol Building just like Congress, and he can live in a fucking house like the rest of us.

If it's going to be a monument to Donald Trump, better it be razed and the earth salted where it stood.

🌱📐 Researchers at #Shanghai Jiao Tong University analyzed satellite images of more than 400 arid areas worldwide and found that #plants follow "disordered hyperuniformity," a pattern that looks random up close but shows clear organization from above. This self-organizing strategy, which appears in 10% of drylands and creates phenomena like #Namibia's fairy circles and West #Africa's tiger bush, helps plants balance competition for scarce #water resources.

Representative Emmer,

I’m writing to express my concern about the Trump administration's repeated military strikes on civilian boats in international waters. These attacks lack legal authority, are killing people without due process, and highlight this administration’s lawless use of military force. I ask that you promptly: conduct public investigations into the legal authority of the attack; support a War Powers resolution to terminate these unauthorized strikes and block this administration's attempt to broaden their military power; and call for the resignation of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense.
Thank you for your consideration of this important matter. Sincerely, MB
