Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.
All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Executive orders aren't policy. Policy is when Trump canceled Biden-era lower prescription drug prices when he came into office.
Why? So he could pursue it months later and take a victory lap?
More performative bullshit to dazzle the ignorant.

Trump is taking a bribe from a country that funds Hamas.

Public Square is a MAGA website that prides itself on being “the anti-woke marketplace.”
To that end, it publishes lists of businesses aligned with “MAGA values.”
They didn't anticipate that good Americans would use it as a guide to boycott them.

The art of his deals is to drain the cash and stiff the workers and investors who trusted him.

China speeds ahead on electric vehicles as Trump pulls back incentives
As the U.S. spurns EVs, the rest of the world is eagerly buying Chinese models. It’s left U.S. auto firms behind, with Trump’s policies adding to the peril.

I called both my Senators today, Jerry Moran and Roger Marshall. Neither of course has a live person answer, they just go to voicemail. I did constituent work for both a Republican and a Democrat back in the 1990s and we ALWAYS answered the phone. We weren’t afraid of the people we represented.
