This entire article points out that there is no plan. His own Treasury Secretary says he doesn’t know anything about it. So why does media keep running these kind of headlines? He keeps making these Truth Social posts and media keeps running stories as if it is something real.

What bums me out is the loss of momentum, and we didn’t even get the Epstein Files released unredacted. Why cave if zero concessions are made? It is almost as if people in the US need a third option for when geriatric blue hop in bed with antique red. Progressive agenda or bust!
In the end, the Democrats essentially got nothing, and Trump notches another victory over opponents who convinced themselves that resistance is futile.
By folding, Democrats rewarded Trump’s hostage-taking and emboldened his bullying.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

Every single woman I know has been groped by a stranger either at work or out living her life. Why do men think they have the right to physically access a woman’s body? Because when caught, men like Trump claim, Palm Beach in the nineties was a different place. Rape isn’t a right of passage
