My President, The Mob Boss
The US just told 27 democratic allies: pay us $1.35 trillion or face economic destruction. We've become the mob boss of international relations - exporting the same predatory model we use to extract wealth from our own people.

Disasters cost the US $180B annually. Federal response costs $25B. That's a 6:1 protective ratio keeping state economies afloat. Every $1 in preparedness saves $6-13 in damage.

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this?
Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids.
She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms.
Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen.

I don’t understand why news sources don’t report the facts. Trump announced that there was a ceasefire—he just made that up. There was no ceasefire, and no one else announced one. But the media reports his statement as if there were, in fact, a ceasefire agreement.
