President Donald Trump said this week he "loved" America's cattle ranchers. But those farmers, who overwhelmingly supported the president in the 2024 election, say they aren't feeling the love right now. https://cnn.it/4hpprar

FACT FOCUS: Democrats did not shut down the government to give health care to 'illegal immigrants'

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

It is one thing to claim it was left wing, it is something different of millions to believe it and act upon it. Either one is a giid pupeteer and millions on his string, or...?

For a moment, it seemed like a blast from the past: a plume over Mount St. Helens looked like the volcano might be erupting again. But fortunately, this was not an eruption — just a wind-whipped encore decades in the making. https://cnn.it/3VnOQr1

The #royalfamily stripped #PrinceAndrew from public duties due to #Epstein. Of course the UK reminds #Trump about his cowardness, responsibilities and failures while in #UK. Their voice shouts loud!

Hawks have often weaponized "Munich" every time the U.S. doesn't go to war. But they forget the real betrayal of Munich - two big countries meeting to carve up the borders of a smaller one to give to an aggressor without that nation present.

And then that guy was "silenced" forever.

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year.
The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive.
