After two weeks of negotiations, it’s clear the Trump administration and Republicans are not serious about reining in this goon-squad violence against American citizens.

Reporter: Trump argued that other countries are going to pay the brunt of the tariffs, but recent research finds the exact opposite. The cost of Trump's tariffs per household was $1,000 last year, and they're seeing an increase this year to $1,300.

You can get a rifle at 18.

ID is not necessarily required for private, face to face sales of firearms.

If you don’t have a viable ID to purchase a firearm, there is no timing issue on you getting one and coming back. You can’t “come back to vote” weeks after an election.
Rep. Zach Nunn: "Look, you gotta be 21 to drink, you gotta be 21 to get a gun. You use a driver's license. We should use a driver's license or voter ID to make sure when you show up to vote, one of the most important things you can do as Americans, it's taken care of."

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

The Democratic Establishment, its funders, and its strategists tell us we need "centrists" like Cuellar, who also voted to fund DHS after Good's murder and was pardoned by Trump.

Please tell me why.
NEW: House passes SAVE America Act

218-213; Rs + 1 Dem (Cuellar) vote yes.

Revised Trump-backed bill requires showing proof of citizenship "in person" to register and slaps photo ID rules to vote.

Now it goes to the Senate. No path to 60. THUNE promises a vote.

House passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate
The legislation would overhaul federal election laws in all 50 states by imposing new voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. But it faces a daunting path in the Senate.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
