There’s no ballroom, but East Room. And golden curtains. Same curtain that hung there during the Biden admin.

See, same curtain.

I took this pic last year, when Biden announced the immigration reform that Trump vetoed.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

President Donald Trump said this week he "loved" America's cattle ranchers. But those farmers, who overwhelmingly supported the president in the 2024 election, say they aren't feeling the love right now. https://cnn.it/4hpprar

The #royalfamily stripped #PrinceAndrew from public duties due to #Epstein. Of course the UK reminds #Trump about his cowardness, responsibilities and failures while in #UK. Their voice shouts loud!
