“Golden Age” is literally how Turkmenbashi & his enablers referred to his rule over Turkmenistan. The man was so fond of gold that he had multiple golden statues of himself erected all over Ashgabat. To hear the U.S. Secretary of Commerce use these exact words when addressing Trump is disorienting.

A very significant vote. The $75 billion can be taken away; this marks a clear vote by the Democratic caucus to do so.
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.
