There are some prominent trump allies think this admin needs to be even more ruthless and not even wait for preemptive pardons. Top trump outside legal adviser Mike Davis tells us the Trump DOJ needs to just jail the Dems who would try to prove/charge Trump officials in the future, because per Mike…

Big Tech has finally received the return on its ample investment in Donald Trump. This is a sellout of our kids, our communities, our workers, and our planet. I will use every tool to fight this irresponsible power grab.

"Unsurprisingly, the White House is trying to lie its way through it. The only explanation offered so far for Trump's mangled hand is a laughable one about 'frequent handshaking.' And president now says it's 'treasonous' to report on his health."

If you get health care through your employer, your premiums are going up by an average of 26% no matter what.
 
Why? Because insurers had to set rates under the assumption Congress won't extend the ACA tax credits, destabilizing the whole market.
 
All thanks to Republican inaction.

Trump and Republicans want to hand over another $900 billion to Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth. That's more than twice enough to extend the ACA tax credits for ten years and keep health care affordable for millions of Americans.

I know which one I'm picking.

The chilling effect of cruel immigration policies means fewer caregivers for our aging loved ones. So many of our caregivers are immigrants, and when they lose their work permits, everyone feels it. #WeMakeAmericaWork https://seiu.co/3KMKvf8
The business of caring for older Americans is in a deepening crisis
Government funding cuts, caregiver shortages and immigration limits are adding new strains to an industry that’s already hard-pressed to meet demand.

just incredible optics here, the president yelling at you about how you should buy less and like it, three weeks before christmas, while standing in front of a bunch of stupefied moronic dipshits holding BIGGER PAYCHECKS signs
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."
