Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed

Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

🚨“The government shouldn’t be in the business of firing Veterans and ‘fixing it later.’ I don’t trust that it will.”

Marie Harf calls out Trump & Musk for gutting VA jobs while Musk rakes in millions from taxpayers.

Cancer research, Veteran jobs, critical programs—slashed, with no plan to fix it.

With all the dismantling of our government agencies I feel we are leaving ourselves open to attack. Cyber or otherwise. 💔🇺🇸
It feels like we are very vulnerable at the present moment.

This is very good.
The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.

Reflecting on my younger self and thinking how life felt so much less heavy. How in the world did we re-elect the sociopath to run our country? I’m so utterly disgusted by his horrible agenda. Praying we don’t lose our democracy entirely to the Christian nationalist theocracy 💔🇺🇸🙏

Pete Hegseth admitted to the Senate that he paid $50,000 (!!!) to silence a "Jane Doe" who accused him of rape.

But at his hearing last week, he said he was “falsely accused."

More questions than answers. We can't rush his vote and trust him with our national security.
