I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Trump hasn't lowered anybody's prices. He's in fact increased costs for almost everything. The Republicans are pushing tax cuts for billionaires and cuts in benefits for Medicaid & SNAP. And they want to add $4 TRILLION to US debt. So basically they're doing what we knew they would do all along.
