Let's pretend Trump really will send every American a $2k tariff check.
There are 344 million of us. The plan would cost 686 billion. Tariff revenue is 195 billion. So where is the other 491 billion supposed to come from?
Excluding the 73.1 million kids, he still comes up $344.8 billion short.

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon.
There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified.
This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

The privilege of operating as a monopoly is predicated on operating in the public interest.
Yesterday, Duke Energy released its new long-term investment plans. North Carolina's monopoly power corporation says it's going to:
👉 Ramp up fossil fuels use
👉Scale back investment in solar energy
👉Extend the life of dirty coal plants and cancel planned retirements

Tomorrow, Tuesday 9/16, at 5:00pm we will hold a vigil for victims of gun violence. We will meet at Everett and Main. After gathering we will have a moment of silent reflection. We will then offer community members the opportunity to share how gun violence has affected their lives.

This admin is talking about deploying the military in every Dem run city. For public safety political leaders mustplan for their response to federal occupation.
Remember, 7 of the top 10 most violent counties in the US are rural. None of them are Chicago or DC. This is not about crime.

They do not. Asheville city council's tendency to believe that if they ignore things they do not like they'll go away has reached absurd depths. #avlgov
Next commenter is asking if #avlgov knows how it will react if and when ICE and other federal agents storm Asheville. Asks that local officials demand identification should they see that happening in order to avoid abduction rapes.
"Do we have any answer on that at all?"

At the Nazi trials after WWII, "I was just following orders" was rejected as a defense.
“Will you refuse to take that mission?”
“Absolutely.”
ILLINOIS congressional candidate Demi Palecek (D), who is in the National Guard, says she would refuse to be deployed as part of Trump’s War on Chicago - even if it gets her discharged.

The Republicans loved vote-by-mail when it was their voters using it. When we started using it they immediately started lying about it (just like they lied about in person voter fraud to justify voter ID and block racial minorities from voting).
Mail-in voting is safe. Period. Trump and Republicans know it. But they also know winning fair and square doesn’t look likely with their horrible policies and broken “promises.” That’s why they’re hell-bent on gutting voting rights. When you can’t win fair, you cheat.

They censored the Constitution. They don't care about free speech.
JD Vance is still hilariously claiming to care about “free speech” even as the Trump regime cracks down on networks, schools, law firms, students, nonprofits, activists etc. all over the country.

Elite Model Management had a bunch of child trafficking allegations.
EMM ran the children's beauty pageant where Trump would walk into the girls changing room.
Trump signed Ivanka up to work there as a kid model.
Did Donald Trump pimp out his daughter?

These are absurd questions.
No, she cannot be trusted. She facilitated and participated in heinous crimes against children. She is objectively untrustworthy.
