Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

It would cost $38 billion dollars to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies for another year and ensure Americans don’t lose their healthcare.

The republicans said no.

Trump sent $40 billion to Argentina and they didn’t object.

Argentina first, America last.

Karoline Leavitt wants to convince people the left is comprised of "terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants" while Trump sycophants want people to believe No Kings is a hate America rally comprised of "antifa" & pro-Hamas terrorists. Tomorrow we get to prove who really loves America.

Q: In 2018, Trump imposed 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum. Two years later, there were 1,000 more steel workers and 75,000 fewer manufacturing workers in the sectors dependent on steel

Q: That's a Ball State study

Clearer than ever that the Epstein Files are what could bring this all crashing down and they're trying to get everything fascisted up before anyone can make that happen
Rep. Johnny Olszewski D-MD (lower left) tried but failed to get recognized on the House floor today to get Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva D-AZ sworn in. Speaker Johnson has refused to seat Grijalva for more than 3 weeks. "This is wrong and you know it Mr. Speaker."

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative
