Trump says he’s slapping a 100% sales tax on top of the rest of his tariffs, forcing you to pay that much more for just about everything.

This would mean chaos and pain for any small businesses that rely on China for trade & business.

Republicans could end these tariffs today.

Thank you for all you are doing. I wish the Dems would also demand the Repugs return to fund our troops during the shutdown. The Dems need to be in the forefront on this issue before the Repugs do.

“America First” means:
•$20B to Argentina to screw American farmers
•$38B to Israel for genocide
•$??B to Qatar for new Air Force base in Idaho

Meanwhile—US Service members stand in food lines because Trump’s government shutdown has them furloughed without pay. So much winning!
Are we great yet?🤔

We are also funding Argentina and they also have nationalized medicine. Here we must cut Healthcare to make the ultra-rich even richer.

Geez. If I was American, I’d be sorely pissed off that MY taxes were subsidising free health care for Israel, when my own country doesn’t have it 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

“Advanced imaging” usually refers to an MRI or CT scan. Why? What were they imaging?

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

I'm sorry... I'm still trying to process this. Why? Did they pay Trump directly? How is this legal? Are the rednecks in Idaho OK with Arabs soldiers as neighbors? Did we sell out the Europeans & Canadians for this?

I have so many questions...
WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”
