Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use.

Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

Free Palestinian protesters—a word to the wise, be careful when you protest this guy. Unlike Kamala Harris, he doesn’t really believe in free speech, but he does believe in squashing protests that he doesn’t like. Cough cough.
REPORTER: How confident are you that you can keep the ceasefire in Gaza?

TRUMP: I'm not confident. That's not our war. It's their war ... Gaza is interesting. It's a phenomenal location.

BREAKING — Joe Biden has pulled off the impossible: positive job growth EVERY SINGLE MONTH of his presidency.

The last negative month was the last full month of Trump’s first term, December 2020.

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.”

But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people.

Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.
