It means a lot to me when the billionaire tells me that affordability is a hoax. I'm sure he understands my hardships and struggles to pay my bills. Of course he wouldn't add tariffs to most of the items that are imported into the country that just makes it worse.

Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston.
THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES.
These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations.
This Is Fascism.

This is because Intuit, Inc. gave Donald Trump $1,000,000 for his "inauguration." Intuit owns Turbo Tax, which makes money off charging taxpayers to file their returns.
The corruption is rampant and in plain sight.

NEW: On inspection reports, the FDA routinely blacks out the names of drugs coming from foreign factories found to have manufacturing failures, keeping information about potentially ineffective or unsafe medications secret from the public.
Is Your Medication Made in a Contaminated Factory? The FDA Won’t Tell You.
The agency’s decision to conceal drug names on inspection reports has prevented doctors, pharmacists and patients from knowing whether medications made overseas are tainted by manufacturing failures that could make them ineffective or unsafe.

‼️ Saagar Enjeti has obtained exclusive arrest docs showing senior Israeli official Tom Alexandrovich was nabbed in a Vegas sting after allegedly soliciting a 15yo. He told police he’d met FBI & NSA that week and had an NSA meeting the next day—and was allowed to escape without facing justice.
