Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

People are finally starting to see the grift, but it won’t be scandals or outrage that breaks Trump—it’ll be the economy.
Tariffs, job losses, and rising prices are hammering working people, and once that fully sinks in, the collapse speeds up.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.
The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:
