Given that most, if not all MAGA merch is made in China, I'll be really curious to see what happens to their pricing and availability 😁

Can I get inflation back to 23 and 24 levels (3.7 and 2.6%) cause I’ve lost a lot more money in Trumps 90 days than I lost to ANY Biden inflation!!

About 46% of Mainers voted for this and against their Canadian neighbors. Elections have consequences.

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail.

This Wisconsin man voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center.
ICE's deportation actions signal that anyone who isn't a US citizen is 'at risk – period,' immigration attorney says.

NEW — Trump is back at his golf course adjacent to the county jail in West Palm Beach.

Of the seven weekends since returning to office, he has played golf at his Florida courses on six of them.

The cost to you: $18.2 million. And counting.
