Two weeks ago I posted that Trump was driving us into a recession. I hoped I was wrong but was certain I wasn’t.
Well, the Atlanta Fed again lowered growth expectations. From positive 2.3% on February 19th to -2.8% yesterday, a swing of 5.1% in three weeks.
Stand by for heavy rolls!

On this rainy day, Jose is slogging through slippery, muddy rows in Watsonville, CAs strawberry fields. His task is to remove flowers from the strawberry plants. This redirects the plant's energy to the berries and results in bigger, brighter, and juicier fruit. #WeFeedYou

If anyone has ever had any doubts about the need for Congressional term limits I present Exhibit 1: Mitch McConnell.
The only reason he voted against Trump’s nominees is because he is not running for re-election and somehow that made him grow a spine.

One has to wonder why any person can support Donald Trump. He has just invited apartheid supporting Afrikaners into the US, possibly granting them the same asylum status he just stripped from Venezuelans. Every day it just gets worse and Congress is doing nothing.

FL residents who live in US House District 1 & 6, now is your time to make a HUGE impact. Both those seats are scheduled for a Special Election on April 1 and we can FLIP them if you do your part. You need to vote, you need to get your friends to vote, you need to get strangers to vote.(1/2)

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

@secrubio.bsky.social Your previous strong support for USAid stands in contrast to your current cowering position and false statements. Now you won’t go to the G20 summit because SA does “bad things”? How about you stand up to Trump/Musk if you are worried about “bad things”

I am shocked that Congress isn’t up in arms about the actions of the administration.
- Compiling lists of persons who “worked against” Donald Trump
- Seeking wholesale resignations from key agencies
- Shutting down agencies
- Stopping the funds to agencies
Why aren’t they doing their jobs?

Let’s see if I tally this correctly. Trump has threatened to invade Greenland, Canada, Panama and now, Gaza
He has also set or threatened tariffs on Canada, Mexico, China and the entire EU.
Two weeks in and Trump has set back US diplomacy by decades and it can only get worse.

I hope everyone realizes that the convicted sexual felon some call our President has ordered his billionaire lap dog to illegally access the Treasury’s computers and, this, give himself a back door to control trillions in government funds. You should be worried

I’m sorely disappointed in Lee County’s (FL) decision to remove fluoride from their water. This is another example of heavily partisan County Commissioners voting on party lines, rather than what is right for their constituents.

Canada and Mexico didn’t “cave” on border security. How do we know? Because the Canada “deal” was announced last year (2024) and the Mexico “deal” has been in place since the Biden Administration…and re-affirmed last year.
Trump’s a pathological liar….and a sexual abuser, fraudster and worse.

FAFO. It’s been on the tip of everybody’s tongue recently. Well, this weekend FOTUS decided to do the F**k Around part and now today and tomorrow Canada and Mexico are going to show us the Find Out part. Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!

This is wrongful termination in so many ways. I pray they all sue!
Fired Jan. 6 prosecutors were told they were terminated "based upon your actions in the prosecution of persons relating to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021," and cited Trump calling it a "grave national injustice."

Pay attention! In 1942 the US Government used the military to round up Americans of Japanese descent and ship them off to detention camps. Why? Because they MIGHT be disloyal Americans. These American citizens were interred and suffered for years because of this.
