Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

ICE fired a munition at Rep. Adelita Grijalva as she demanded answers during a raid in her own community. No warning, no transparency, just armored agents turning Tucson into a war zone. If they’ll fire at a Congresswoman on camera, imagine what they do off-camera.

Is Halle Berry back as Storm? Cause she just *fried* Gavin Newsom with a lightning bolt ⚡
"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either."

When Hegseth spoke about the National Guard shooting, he said:
“I mentioned the faith of this country. The Christian faith”
Why is he invoking Christian nationalism?
The US is not a Christian country.
It’s a country with the freedom to practice whatever religion you want.

Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

“Quiet! Quiet!” he told her.
