Trumpworld is bragging about 4% GDP growth. Dig into the data and the story flips. The top 20% drive most of the spending, while everyone else leans on debt and falling job options. Same old split economy.
Guess Who Is Actually Benefitting From Trump-O-Nomics?
Latest GDP figures show the rich reaping rewards as the working class continues to suffer under Trump. DUH!

This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that?

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.

Trump orders oil tankers blockade in Venezuela, labels Maduro regime a "terrorist" group
The escalation exerts unprecedented pressure on the Maduro regime, threatening to bankrupt Venezuela's already struggling economy.

🚨There it is — Mike Johnson and House Republicans are refusing to even vote on extending ACA tax credits.
They are actively choosing to go into the holiday break, knowing health care premiums are doubling & tripling for millions of Americans in 2026, and doing nothing about it.

First, Donald Trump sided with his billionaire Big Tech buddies and endorsed the AI regulation moratorium. Now, MAGA Republicans are trying to sneak it into the defense bill. Democrats must stand up to this all-out attack on AI regulation.

Do political science profs have to explain to their students that, for most of American history, it was actually borderline unthinkable that elected officials and their spokespersons would constantly talk like trashy reality show contestants?
After calling Schumer a "Palestinian," Leavitt refers to "Gavin Newscum." So she's just ripping off her boss's smears now.
