You may notice a lot Trump critics being accused of “mortgage fraud” lately. Trump’s accomplice Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) under Donald Trump, has been using his position to level accusations of mortgage fraud against several of Trump's political rivals.

An incredible interception moment: the video is showing a Russian Shahed drone flying straight toward a residential high-rise — but it was shot down just in time by our anti-aircraft drone 🇺🇦

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately.
He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”
He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”
The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

Trump is treating inflation and high prices the way he treated Covid: claiming the numbers are going down.
But like Covid, he can’t lie his way out of this one because everyone is experiencing it. And like Covid it will be his downfall.

Trump: "I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now we're much less. If you look at energy, we're getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline."

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has:
-Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks
-Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise
-Made the largest cut to SNAP in history
-Canceled the annual food security survey
Shameful.
