Apparently the days when Trump could gaslight America on the shut down, the economy, tariffs, the Epstein files, Gaza/Ukraine, etc. are coming to a close.

All these shooters have something in common...it's not politics, it's not race, and it's not religion. It's the fucking guns. How bone numbing stupid does one have to be to understand that?

This one is personal to me. I have 3 grandchildren, my daughter and SIL, myself and my wife living within 10 minutes of this church in our sleepy little town of Grand Blanc, MI. 🧵

Someone has to explain to me why, after decades of Republican 'leadership', southern states continue to allow themselves to be held back. Republican performance has been abysmal.

When you hear Trump ignorantly ranting about windmills, understand this...Big Oil absolutely owns Republicans. Follow the money.

Yep, and the answer is staring us right in the face.

Congressional Republicans are being dragged down by Trump's abysmal performance. A victory in the midterms would change everything. It must be done.

With all the attention that Charlie Kirk's murder is getting, I'm afraid that people are forgetting that 46,000 people per year in the US die from gun violence. That's 46,000 families mourning the loss of a love one.
The infuriating part is the solution is staring us right in the face.

One of the most egregious things Trump has done so far involves the atrocious choices for Cabinet members. I've never seen such an incompetent, unprepared group of people in my life. One is worse than the next, and it seems as though America agrees.

One of the goals of the tariff plan is to repatriate all auto production to the US. Not surprisingly, the Trump administration has neglected to think this through and what the consequences to the country and consumers would be. Here's a quick analysis from a guy that used to be part of it (me).

As we watch our 401k’s circle the drain today, just remember that this is an unforced error by Trump. This is not a correction. This is a stupid act by a stupid man.

Going to be noisy? Well Senator, you're right it will be noisy for sure. Our economy is beginning to spiral. And people like YOU are accomplices.

It's about time that LA voters started understanding what Republicans have done to them for decades. USNWR ranks Louisiana dead last in its state rankings.
Politicians like Johnson, Kennedy, Scalise, Higgins, Cassidy have some explaining to do to their constituents.

I think the average citizen doesn't realize the economic trouble we're in right now. We are spiraling down.

Here's an interesting high-level productivity comparison between the "King of Productivity" Elon Musk's Tesla and General Motors. Perhaps we have the wrong CEO leading DOGE?

How we doing so far President Trump?

A few observations:
- Musk has been focused on removing as many people from the government payrolls as possible.
- The total govt payroll is 4.3% of total govt spending.
- DOGE claims savings of $115B so far, but actual Federal spending last month was $36B MORE than Feb 2024.

The DOGE website is claiming that $115B has been saved so far (although that hasn't been updated for about a week).
We also know that Feb 2025 spending was HIGHER than Feb 2024 by $36B. Now I get that some projects have lead time, but c'mon...

Trump's big objective is to balance our trade deficit. He thinks of it as subsidizing other countries although economists have differing opinions on that. Nevertheless, his focus is to eliminate the deficits.
How's it going so far?
