Remember the $2,000 tariff checks that King Trump promised Americans?

Well—he doesn’t. “When did I do that?” Trump replied when asked about it last week.

The president’s guarantees seem about as reliable as his grasp of what it means to launch a trade war against the rest of the planet.

Please contact the Nobel Prize committee and demand they rescind the Prize awarded to Machado. Giving her prize to Trump only empowers his crimes, violence, murders, brutality, and attacks on American citizens and immigrants alike. Contact info here:

Nobel Committee - Nobel Peace Prize
The Norwegian Nobel Committee was established by the Norwegian Storting in 1897, tasked with selecting Nobel Peace Prize laureates.

It's messed up that I feel like I have to say this. States run elections independently on a date set by Congress.

The only way to hypothetically "cancel" an election is delaying Election Day through a new law in Congress. However, the presidential term will end on January 20, 2029 no matter what.

Russia may be able to control Shahed drones via Starlink within days, potentially making them resistant to electronic warfare jamming and significantly more accurate. Ukrainian expert Serhii “Flash” reports the first confirmed use of Starlink control on a BM-35 drone today.

Can’t we just release the damn Epstein files before that insane man destroys the whole world in an effort to delay his embarrassment?

Kristi Noem is a liar and a disgrace who must be removed from office.

If you agree, tell your members of Congress to get on board with impeachment right now:

Tech Workers Are Condemning ICE Even as Their CEOs Stay Quiet
The killing of George Floyd in 2020 prompted a wave of statements from tech companies and CEOs. Today, pushback against ICE is largely coming from employees, not executives.

Total defiance of the corrupt GOP. The Clintons are Challenging them to respond.

Bluff called. 🦗🦗🦗from the GOP.

WHY?

Filing contempt of congress charges would once again place the EPSTEIN FILES in the headlines.

That’s the last thing they want.

They would be shooting themselves in the foot.

Machado presenting Trump with her Nobel has to be the stupidest thing a peace laureate can do. She literally is supporting a violent dictator and helping him whitewash his crimes. Completely against everything the Prize stands for. The Nobel committee should rescind her prize.

Reporter: Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE Agent.

Leavitt: Why was she killed?

Reporter: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably

Leavitt: You’re a left-wing hack. You’re not a reporter.

It seems painfully obvious that the ICESTAPO are the ones that are instigating the violence.

Yet the democratic "leaders?" are not out screaming this narrative. WHY?

instead all the reporting is what the lying regime is spouting.

I think we are getting close to the point at which the athletes on Minnesota professional sports teams should start refusing to take the field/court/ice

Something has to be done to underscore the national emergency we are in, because I still do not think corporate media gets it

I'm sorry to say this because I voted for Kamala Harris and she would have been an amazing president just like Hillary Clinton. But our Country is filled with misogynistic assholes.

Nothing Trump does is intended to benefit average people in the US, Greenland, Venezuela, Iran, or anywhere else. They are always the ones who bear the costs, burdens and negative consequences.

Everything he does benefits himself and his billionaire cronies around the globe.
