Save Your Child from Autocracy and Poverty! In 1917 the U.S. started the war savings stamps program, with incredible poster such as this. Sadly, this is us here and NOW! It is an internal message. Autocracy wants poverty and dismantling of rights for a one-party, one person rule. #resist

Are farmers going to be on welfare for all 4 years of this Trump term, or just for 3 years like the first Trump term?

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.
