Wait. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Medicaid recipients could replace immigrant farmworkers. Is she daft?

Does she have any idea why folks are on Medicaid? Or what’s involved in picking crops? My goodness.

I cannot remember a moment in American history when our foreign policy shifted so dramatically & quickly.

Trump doesn't want to be the leader of the free world. He wants to join the autocratic world.

I hope the US Congress and the American people will prevent this switch.

This administration does not represent the views of the majority Americans.
Just those who are financially benefitting from Russia and the minions who can’t/won’t think for themselves.
Breaking news: U.S. sides with Russia to vote against a U.N. resolution condemning Moscow for the Ukraine war.

Washington’s dramatic shift on the conflict marks a major break with its European allies and coincides with the Trump administration’s bid to repair relations with the Kremlin.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
