🚨 WALMART RAISING PRICES DUE TO TARIFFS

“We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible but given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” Walmart CEO says.

While Trump is busy in the Middle East getting himself a free $400M dollar plane, back home, you're getting higher prices because of his chaotic tariffs.

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.

NEW: A House committee just advanced a bill to cut hundreds of billions from Medicaid that would devastate the lives of disabled people and throw millions off the program.

The bill could get a full House vote as soon as next week. Tell your representative NOW to reject these cuts.
Congress: Save Medicaid Now
Politicians are attempting to pass devastating cuts to Medicaid right now and we must act fast. Send a message telling your member of Congress to fight back now.

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

Florida wants to end drag brunch (and make it impossible for LGBTQ+ people to enjoy the same rights as the rest of us). This 11th Circuit decision, which has been flying below the radar, says the state can't do that. joycevance.substack.com/p/hamburger-...

9/11 First Responders: “The Secretary (RFK JR) is uniquely unqualified… This is 20 years of bullshit… nobody apologized after 9/11 — instead we created the World Trade Center Health program. And then to gut it? You took your own apology away from us… Kennedy is an id*ot.”

Alvin Motley Jr. would have been celebrating his 52nd birthday today — but he was senselessly taken from his community over something as minor as loud music when he was shot and killed by a security guard in Memphis. Our hearts are with his family as they honor his memory.

Over the past four months, Ed Martin has abused his position as interim U.S. Attorney to advance a dangerous agenda that places the president’s personal interests above those of the public, tramples the rule of law, and puts our democracy at risk.

He is unfit to serve in public office.
