The largest retailer in America just announced they're raising prices this month due to Trump's nonsensical tariff war. Great work, Trump.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Our veterans are the best of us.

Our government has a sacred obligation to look out for them. We have a duty to care for them.

Instead, the corrupt mongrels in charge are firing them in the thousands.

Veterans fought for us.

It's time we fight for them.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Dumb sheets.
Congratulations to rightwing anti-vax forces: you've reintroduced a deadly, vaccine preventable disease back into American society.

House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending.

The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs.

Why the cuts? To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

Breaking news: Inflation is higher now under Trump than it was for the entire second half of last year under Joe Biden.

MAGA: That’s right baby!! Daddy’s home! Trump 2024!

Because it is a cult of willful fucking stupids.

what??? I thought President Musk was going to tackle inflation on day one.
Inflation is now the highest it’s been since June.

Gas, groceries, electronics, appliances, cars, housing & utilities are all up.

Americans can’t afford to fly, dine out or buy booze.

And egg prices just hit a record high.

BREAKING: The Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals that the average price for a dozen eggs in U.S. cities skyrocketed to a record of $4.94 last month — despite Donald Trump building his entire election campaign on the promise of lowering groceries.

The verdict is in. MAGA is a disaster.
