U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will begin screening immigrants’ social media accounts for antisemitic content as grounds to deny visa and green-card applications, the agency announced — a move that immigration law and free-speech experts condemn as an alarming federal overstep.

Is there a single person on Earth who believes the Trump regime's absurd claims that this gay makeup artist is a member of a dangerous gang, despite having no criminal history and who came to the U.S. legally seeking political asylum?

It'll take a long time - if ever - for tariffs to incentivize US manufacturing. The smuggling will start right away. My latest from @theatlantic.com t.co/ygnvji7NjD

It's midnight in Washington, and in case you're catching up...

– Remove tariffs hurting families
– Protect disaster response and recovery
- Secure Social Security benefits
- Preserve federal lands

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss:

1. 1929 (the Great Depression)

2. 1987 (Black Monday)

3. 2008 (the Great Recession)

4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY

And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.

The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds.

This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at.

You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters.

Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten
This was the way.
