Will that be after the Trump regime pays back all their illegal/unconstitutional tariffs?

What tangible evidence is there for good faith actions by the GOP to fulfill their promise?

If they are “kicking the can down the road”, when will the Democrats ever have similar leverage in negotiations?

Are the Democrats getting ANYTHING in this agreement?

What is the House going to do?
So Senate Democrats are going to trust these Republicans’ “promise” they’ll vote on healthcare subsidies in the future after they’ve voted to end the shutdown? Really?

MANY ASSERTIONS!

SUPERCHARGED HYPERBOLE!

No supporting evidence

No data

No transparency

For what it’s worth, we don’t even know if Trump’s tyrannical tariffs are legal.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
I don’t…what…huh??

Wait! I thought Dear Leader’s hands were tied.

Gotta admit — I’m confused 🤷🏻

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.
Grocery prices have jumped up, and there's no relief in sight

Poor Secretary Bessent — his hands and the hands of our Great Patriarch are tied. They are utterly powerless 🙁🙁🙁
Pressed by Stephanopoulos on the fact that electricity prices have in fact gone up, Bessent punts: "Electricity prices are a state problem ... look, there are things the federal government can control. Local electricity prices are not one of them."

For #Stunday I am sharing a personally stunning observation from one of my recent #LittleBlueHeron photos.

While this is another nice perspective on this gorgeous #bird, I was struck by a detail — this bird has small patches of white showing through its chest feathers.

What a crock! The crazy old tyrant spews lie after lie.

He talks a lot, but only works to enrich himself, his family, and his super-wealthy donors.

… and where are those #Epsteinfiles?

Still waiting for those DOGE savings and the DOGE checks…

Maybe all the DOGE stuff was just a pretext for Project 2025 slash and burn actions. Maybe…
Here’s an oldie but a goodie: “DOGE rebates” 🤡

“..the proposal would distribute .. $5,000 per household for the 78 million households that pay federal income tax.”

Not the greatest #takeoff entry, but I wanted to join the fray.

This #TricoloredHeron decided to skidaddle (spelling?) after it noticed I was closer than it preferred. I captured it just after it took off from the edge of a tidal lagoon at the beach.

Obviously, light was very poor

WTF???

I sincerely hope that someone from the media asked Hegseth to explain himself.

I look forward to see what the hell he was talking about 👀👀

Well, that certainly sounds consistent with the Constitution of the United States of America.

Wait! I thought our Great Patriarch said the price was down to $2.00 per gallon.

Is he gaslighting us?
