Interesting that Trump apparently sees the Holocaust in terms of Germans loving their neighbors and helping them in times of distress or confinement.
Trump: "I said to [the former hostages], was there any sign of love? Did Hamas show any signs of, like, help or liking you? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? Like what happened in Germany."

President Trump and Republicans want working families to foot the bill for tax cuts for the wealthiest in America.
Their bill will strip working families of housing, health care, and food, WHILE saddling future generations with enormous debt.
This is an insult to the American people.

The Senate has confirmed Kash Patel, who has published an enemies list identical to Trump's, to serve a 10-year term as FBI Director.
He will be a major cog in Trump's vengeance machine to silence and intimidate critics.

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout.
Democrats voted yes.
Republicans voted no.
Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.
