Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”

Now that the Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to refund companies what they paid in tariffs, yet there are still tariffs in place, what's the plan? Consumers continue to fork money over to corporations who will later get another refund?

Not only is this blatantly corrupt, it's a national security threat.

A small handful are raking in enormous paydays from insider information.

Americans deserve answers.

A table showing how many more cases Bondi's DOJ has dropped as compared to previous Administrations. The top three are Labor (+129% dropped), National Security (+93%), Organized Crime (+86%), and White Collar Crime (+59%).
