So you and I and everyone else are in effect now refunding American corporations for import tariffs, although we paid for most of them in the form of higher prices — which they won’t now lower because they have monopoly power to keep prices high.
The Art of the Deal.
BREAKING: Donald Trump just boosted Democrats’ chances of taking the House.
He said the quiet part out loud, “fair elections” means he loses power.
That’s not a warning, that’s a confession.
The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.
The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.
Answering your questions: Can Trump be removed from office under the 25th Amendment? (TLDR: It’s possible but very difficult.) youtube.com/shorts/_se7o...
"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV

"... we now need a 'Category 6' rating for hurricanes with winds of 193 mph (311 km/h) or greater, because global warming is expected to cause significant increases in maximum potential intensity."

(next to an image of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez) “You cannot love this country if you only fight for the wealthy and big business. To love this country is to fight for its people, all people. Working people ….. who punch a clock and are on their feet all day in some of the toughest jobs out there."
Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
Talk about dumb and dumber. Trump just announced he is going to close the closed Strait of a Hormuz. As in blockade it.
Because he got us into a mess… And he has no idea how to get us out of it.

A lot of you reached out asking if Brian Morales made it back yet he hasn’t. The 25-year-old Denver-born U.S. citizen is still stuck in Mexico. DHS is disputing his account, claiming their records show he isn’t a citizen he absolutely is. Several groups are actively fighting for his return.
BREAKING: Vice President Vance says no agreement was reached after 21 hours of peace talks with Iran.
Reporter: Iran is not listening to your threats about opening the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump: How do you know that?
Reporter: Because it’s still blocked. Are they reopening it?
Trump: Why do you say that? You don’t know anything.
Carney: "The days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over."
*thunderous applause*
A Black congresswoman faces 17 years in prison for visiting an ICE facility. Jan. 6 rioters got pardons. Trump’s DOJ isn’t pursuing justice; it’s sending a message to every member of Congress who dares do oversight.
Stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver.

Breaking: Trump orders the dismantling of the US Forest Service.
All regional offices are being shut down and the research program destroyed.
Next week, a little-known law that allows the government to sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens is set to expire.
Congress should let FISA’s Section 702 die, but we fear some Democrats could join Republicans in reauthorizing this civil liberties disaster.
Melania Trump Today In a Nutshell:
"I had no relationship with Ghislaine, even though she called me ‘Sweet Pea’ in emails, and I signed my responses ‘Love, Melania,’ but the victims should speak out even though my husband is stopping the release of evidence that will corroborate their testimony.”
One of the most alarming things the Trump Administration is doing right now is flying under the radar. I have the details on Trump’s efforts to hide his corruption by eliminating the Presidential Records Act. Please watch and share. youtube.com/shorts/EGt5z...
This week's edition of the UK's New Statesman magazine isn't pulling its punches.
Wow, great news: the CDC has a study proving COVID vaccines slashed hospitalizations by 55%. Bad news: RFK Jr.’s team killed it before publication because facts were inconvenient. They are literally hiding data that could save your life.

In a sane world, in a world of accountability, the man who incited a deadly insurrection five years ago never would have been able to hold public office again. That reckless, abusive man needs to be removed from office. Now.
I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".
This man is playing a game of chicken that he’s not prepared to lose
🎥 Donald Trump posts a video that appears to show the aftermath of a U.S. attack on civilian infrastructure in Iran.
I didn’t think it was real…..so I went to truth social and there it is.
