Make America Great Again was a failed delusion. Proudly wearing a MAGA hat in 2024 is akin to proudly wearing a dunce cap.

America is great. Just because it doesn't prominently reflect only them is what angers them. That's not greatness. That's weakness as, having failed, they are proven losers.

By all means, sell them their red dunce caps.

260 million Americans will experience temps above 90F this week.

Now's a good time to remind you that Trump's inner circle devised a 900+ page plan that includes gutting the EPA, halting clean energy projects, and burning more fossil fuels.

It's called Project 2025. Look it up.

🥥 For a scary -- & entertaining -- preview of GOP plans for a second Trump administration, see the June 16 episode of John Oliver's show, "Last Week Tonight."
Oliver goes into depth about the right wing's Project 2025 and the people behind it.
Keep in mind, these are the people who'll be pulling the strings should they put their deranged orange tub of guts back in the White House. 🥥
