For the last two days, Sean Duffy has been blaming Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden, the Democrats, and anyone else he can think of for the fact that under *HIS* watch, planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. Maybe fewer joyrides to the Daytona 500 and a little more attention paid to transportation.

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected.

$196 billion for three men in 99 days.

Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

Reminder that a tariff is a tax.

Trump is raising your taxes.

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week.

Don’t let him.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

The same people having a temper tantrum over DEI just confirmed the least qualified Secretary of Defense in US history because Trump liked him on TV.

I’m thankful that I had the opportunity to attend the State of the State Address yesterday in Madison.

Is there any low that these folks aren’t willing to go to?
It took all of *4 days* before a Republican introduced a constitutional amendment to allow Trump to run for a third term.

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.

And those who warned America about it were right.

President Trump's flurry of orders restricting immigration and promising mass deportations violate core Christian principles of caring for the poor and needy, religious leaders in multiple denominations said.
Trump's immigration orders rebuked by Christian leaders
Many of the policies championed by Trump have roots in Christian nationalism that several churches reject.

The guy who sells $60 Bibles with his name on them thinks having mercy on children is bringing “church into the world of politics.”
Trump is now viciously attacking the bishop who asked him to have mercy on immigrants and LGBTQ people, suggesting she is not a real bishop and demanding she apologize.

Abhorrent and Despicable.
President Trump: You do not stand for law and order when you give a free pass to rioters who attacked the police.

In fact, you are signaling that violence is okay and attacking law enforcement is acceptable behavior.

This is ridiculous.
Trump just withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization.

The US is now the only country in the world besides Liechtenstein to not be a member of the organization.

I am forever grateful to have had the privilege to work for the Biden campaign in Iowa between semesters of college.

Thank you for everything, President Biden.
