As you all start watching “Landman” again, remember how little the oil and gas industry pays in taxes. They pay foreign countries tax more than US, despite drilling here. Instead of tariffs, why doesn’t Trump fix this rather than allow our national parks to be destroyed for nothing? It’s unfair.
Oil and Gas Companies Are Paying Less Tax to the U.S. than to Foreign Governments
Since 2017, these companies paid $135 billion in income taxes to foreign governments, but just $29 billion to the U.S.

Here's a history lesson for your feed: A 1970s frost made coffee prices jump. When the crisis ended, the price didn't drop—it stuck. It's a classic economic "ratchet." The only thing brewing is the same thing. Once prices go up on staples, they rarely come back down. Trump hasn’t helped us.

Headline: Trump cuts coffee tariff! Reality: Tariffs on aluminum, steel, & Chinese goods keep all other costs high. The "ratchet" has clicked. Prices won't fall back. This isn't a solution; it's a political performance designed to make you think he's helping.

Lowering the age girls are sexualized protects abusers and blames victims. What’s next, he liked 12 year olds?

Also, Megan Kelly has a well-documented record of supporting the trial and punishment of juvenile offenders in adult court.

Does she just not believe in protecting children?

Shielding Trump has been a powerful mix of legal tactics, political strategy, and media influence. The goal: ensure allegations are never legally or politically fatal. So far, it's worked. Please let that be coming to an end now. Everyone in the Epstein files must answer for their participation.

At 17, a girl victimized by Epstein "knew what she was doing."

At 17, a male who raped & strangled is "just a child."

We constantly lower the age girls are sexualized but raise the age boys are held responsible. This hypocrisy protects abusers and blames victims.

Justice by gender isn’t equal.

If we’re MAGA renovating the country, having Trump in charge of demolition is appropriate. Just remember, when it’s time to rebuild, it always takes twice as long and costs twice as much as you planned for. I wonder if we’ll recoup our costs when he goes to sell? (I think he’ll declare bankruptcy.)

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson:

“Well, of course, I mean, that’s our system. If the people duly elect a representative, then we will welcome them into the body. That would be the job of a speaker.”

Not said about Adelina Grijavla, but George Santos.
