Despite the noise, Saturday’s “No Kings Rally” isn’t anti-American, it’s pro-democracy. 🇺🇸 Let’s show up in red, white & blue to prove it! This movement stands for freedom, unity, and the power of the people to protect America’s democratic spirit. #NoKings #FreedomForAll thehill.com/homenews/sta...

You know the answer to that. What a disgrace our country is becoming.

Thank you Senator Chris Murphy for taking charge and voicing strong opposition to the GOP budget plan and forcing Senators’ opinions be recorded for all to see.

If tariffs are so great, then businesses shouldn’t hesitate to show exactly how those costs are baked into the prices we pay. I figured Bezos would back off when the WH pushed back. Others should step up though, be honest with consumers & show the true cost of tariffs. We deserve transparency.

The new American Dream: Pay $500K to the government and skip the line. This administration has officially launched an “Executive Branch” for the ultra-wealthy, while the rest of us get our services slashed and our rights stripped. This isn’t leadership, it’s legalized looting!

Pretty damn sad

It’s mind-boggling to see people call themselves pro-life while showing little concern for the lives of those babies after they’re born. It’s not about protecting life, it’s about controlling women and forcing them into roles they may not choose for themselves. The hypocrisy is deafening!

So much for the U.S. Constitution. We officially have transitioned to a dictatorship.

The Supreme Court must aggressively and immediately enforce its order to the President: facilitate the return of Kilmer Abrego García to the US.

Farmers have taken a hit under Trump’s policies. His trade war and massive tariffs on U.S. crops, labor shortages due to migrant expulsion, withdrawal from trade agreements, and his cuts to USDA programs have all played a roll in this. Votes have consequences, especially for rural America.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · Apr 13

Trump’s tariffs are hitting farmers hard — in ways you might not expect. This honey farmer voted for Trump 3X — now costs are through the roof, hiring’s frozen, and he’s lost $150K in government contracts.

Asked if he regrets his 2024 vote? “Perhaps I should’ve considered other options.”

NO SHIT!
