MTG has put herself into a really interesting place because she hasn't attacked any of Trump's policies, she's just took a stance for child rape victims. So MAGA folks have to decide whether to attack her for that and "stand with Trump" or support pedophilia and child sex trafficking.

The Trump administration is burning down our country’s most important health agencies from the inside and pushing out anyone who dares to pull the fire alarm.

Standing up for science is not a fireable offense. I won’t let this get swept under the rug.

Just saw a video from Charlotte of Border Patrol breaking the windows of a truck then dragging a US citizen to the ground because he is brown
They are giving the raids on Charlotte the name of a beloved children’s novel about disparate members of a community working together to save someone vulnerable 🤬

If you ever wondered what you would do in 1930s Germany, you have your answer. This is a spiritual emergency and we have to summon all our courage. We know what happens inside #Broadview is torture. For me it’s simple - I wouldn’t stay silent if they locked Jesus up there, and I won’t be silent now

Brevetoxins are potent neurotoxins produced by certain algae and cause significant health problems (“red tide” is one form). Even if you don’t care about marine life, you can get sick and even die just from breathing air near a shoreline w/ brevetoxin-producing algae. Climate change will kill us all
Harmful algal bloom (HAB) spread across 20,000 km2 & resulted in the deaths of millions of marine animals, from at least 550 species

Scientists found a novel, significant brevotoxin-producing algal species, Karenia cristata, in the multispecies Karenia HAB—1st time brevetoxins have been found in 🇦🇺

See that Rolex clock and gold bar?

It looks like those Swiss gifts paid off.

Trump cut tariffs on Swiss goods — like luxury watches — from 39% to 15%.

While Trump’s tariffs increase prices for Americans, billionaire CEOs and foreign companies sucking up to Trump get relief.

The primary problem in America is what is represented on this graph and it's a problem that Trump is too stupid to fix. But in fairness, every President since Carter has failed to control it as well.
