Along with tRump, I have a deep understanding of how tariffs work. That is why I am making a donation to the RNC and imposing a 110% tariff on my donation. I'll wait patiently for my check.

Okay, it's been two weeks and still no executive orders for not eating cats and dogs or ordering EPEC (egg producing exporting countries) to lower the price of eggs by releasing more of them. Hey, buddy, this was your mandate, remember?!?

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

Hold the fuck on — Donald Trump spent 4 years saying “infrastructure week” was coming and it never came, and then Joe Biden actually got it done, and then Trump got back into office and immediately paused spending on… wait for it…

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand.
Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”
REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!

The map shown below is a Return on the Dollar map.
States that receive more federal money than they pay are in blue. States that pay more than they receive are in orange.
California is literally subsidizing the rest of the United States, red states in particular, through the federal budget.

It's better to talk to a therapist than to shoot up a Walmart. We need to make health insurance and counseling affordable and easily accessible.
