American farmer: “We don't want a bailout, we want a market. Bailouts don't work. Bailouts are band-aids.”

Trump’s tariffs are destroying our economy and farmers across the country are suffering because of it.

This President put a TV news host in charge of our national defense. Unsurprisingly, it is not going well.

Pete Hegseth is the most unfit, unqualified Defense Secretary in history.

He should resign.

Thanks to Republicans’ chaotic policies:

Small businesses have let 120,000 employees go.

Grocery and utility prices are up.

The cost of health care is skyrocketing.

But instead of helping struggling families, Trump is looking into building a giant “Arc de Trump”.
