Gold everywhere. Paintings of mug shots everywhere. A new cheesy Mar-a-Lago style ballroom. Now a UFC fight. The crass and classless ass continues to sully the understated grandeur and dignity of the people’s house to turn it into one of his failed Atlantic City casinos.

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity:

1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas…
2) enabled by Engineering Innovations…
3) based on Science Research in Universities…
4) funded by Grants from the US Government.

It’s time more people understood this.

Trump plans to move Palestinians to Libya. This is not only ethnic cleansing, but it acts as a way to free up land for Israeli real estate developers and by choosing Libya he’s openly attacking Europe with the goal of creating a mass migration wave of refugees that will flee.

Reminder: no matter how many times Republicans say otherwise, there is *no way* they can pay for their proposed tax cuts without gutting Medicaid and other programs that millions of people rely on.

Don't believe their lies for a second.

Trump and Vance showed a level of crassness and vulgarity never seen before in the White House with a foreign leader and guest. They were the worst kind of ignorant disgusting bully. They’ve turned our nation into a global embarrassment. And a global threat.

If you’re connected with NOAA’s GLERL, or other Great Lakes teams affected by federal cuts + shifts, I’d love to hear from you.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥

Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.
