If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

Trump playing up his bullet dodging skills at the Charlie Kirk memorial is really beyond parody.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Further premeditated, lawless killing in the Caribbean.

Making at least five such US strikes.

Against unidentified "narcoterrorists" affiliated w/ an unspecified "designated terrorist organization" allegedly trafficking unspecified narcotics.

POTUS is asserting a license to kill outside the law.

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

The gun-worshipping “patriots” are silent now that the boots are on the street.

They swore they’d rise if tyranny came, yet here they aren’t.

It’s an inflatable frog out there proving courage doesn’t need bullets, just backbone. Freedom’s not flags or rifles, it’s who dares to face power unarmed.

A man in a large inflatable frog costume stands defiantly facing a line of heavily armed riot police at night. Behind the officers, journalists and onlookers record the standoff. The image is overlaid with a quote from Tom Morello that reads: “Fascinating that all those ‘Don’t Tread On Me’ posers and their AR-15s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit.”

Remember how MAGA told us Javier Milei would fix Argentina's economy with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing out Argentina with billions.

Remember how MAGA told us Donald Trump would save US farmers with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.

ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children at school and CPD officers.

The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.

I spend so much time pushing for the Epstein files to be released because I don’t want my son growing up in a world where the rich and powerful can prey on young women and men without consequences. What kind of message would that send him? That’s not the world I want to raise him in.

Republicans worked around the clock to cut taxes for billionaires.

But they won’t even show up to work to stop your health insurance premiums from doubling.

Unacceptable.
