Every podcast should have these miners , the mayor of the town and others from the area on their podcasts and shows. Trumps name should never be mentioned. They know who caused it.
I would love to hear what they feel needs to happen next and how to get there. Not what politicians think

Switch 2 is delayed because of the tariffs. You thought people were mad? 5-10 year olds about to riot.

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is

All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.

Their finances will be turned upside

As I have emphasized multiple times, THESE FLIGHTS WERE PUBLICLY TRACKED! They were private charter planes contracted out by ICE like nearly every other ICE Air flight! They were met in El Salvador by a huge camera crew and a media spectacle!

Nothing about this was secret! This is such nonsense.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

The 2 planes Judge Boasberg ordered back, plus a third plane that took off AFTER Boasberg’s order, never returned to the U.S. in apparent defiance of the court order.
UPDATE: The same Airbus 320 GlobalX charter aircraft—that left TX after Judge Boasberg issued his restraining order—continued on to El Salvador late Saturday.

“You are a traitor.”

An absurd and insulting thing to say to anyone who posts what Senator Kelly did.

And even more insulting since he served as a U.S. Navy captain and a NASA astronaut.

Kelly was a combat pilot and flew 39 combat missions during Operation Desert Storm in the Gulf War.

This Repub CR, that they claim will keep the government open, is a perfect example of why you must read bills.

Inside the text, you’ll find cuts everywhere, and so much money taken from vets you wouldn’t believe it. These guys are frauds.

Nice try! Hard NO! Throw it in the 🗑️
