86 does not mean what you may think it means.

When Trump says his tariffs are going to make America very rich, remember that “America” is a euphemism for himself & his family. No more, no less.
This is a really wasteful effort, to say the very least. Manpower alone investigating these matters would far, far exceed any associated risk. it is all for show, fear-mongering, racism and “otherizing."

“Pushed” is perilously close to becoming “shoved.” I could go on and on but this paragraph you wrote is key, IMO (and I thank you for stating what I see as an obvious point). I’ll be sharing with my lawmakers at local & state levels. Thank you for your work.

I will forever see Marco Rubio like this (photo from The Daily Mail). His legacy in a single photo.

Interesting. Note in the caption below the banner it states, “The Official U.S. Congressional website of the Republican Budget Committee.” (REPUBLICAN). BUT, the provided link goes to the HOUSE Budget Committee (not the House Congressional Party website). Am I missing something?

The Guardian saw the same thing, apparently. Rubio should look uncomfortable. He’s thrown away any shred of legitimacy he had in the foreign policy world. I’m guessing he is well aware of that fact too.

Whoa! Not to spam but I missed seeing this and I find it highly concerning. Kellogg was supposed to be the “sane” one in the entourage. WTF?!

This quote below gets me every time I listen to the “exchange.” NO ONE in the official US delegation was there to “save” Ukraine. They're trying to slice & dice for their share before serving it up to Putin on a silver platter. Yes, I wanted to throw things when I heard Vance spout that bullshit.

Russell Vought and Chuck Ezell are so disingenuous.

So, it’s inefficient because it’s already understaffed but more job cuts will make it more efficient. Yeah, right. This is cutting arms and legs to save a butt-cheek. JFC on a popsicle stick.

Sharing a screenshot of a graph from Gabriel Zucman’s website. Take note of the dips predominantly in GOP Presidential years and who those dips hurt most in terms of recovery. Also notably following major tax cuts.

Coffee and egg prices. What next? No more breakfast?

I know quite a few people who don’t do well without at least two cups of coffee in the AM.

This section shows how desperate Trump is. Sorry to say this but the US is not to be trusted with Trump (or Vance, Johnson, Vought, et al) in office and with Musk hanging around.

Who are these people? Why are they hoovering data to which they have ZERO need to access. Are they even aware of what privacy laws apply? Are they taking due care in handlibng the data? How much are they being paid? #Musk-Trump-Vought-HeritageCrimeRing #ZEROTransparency
