For some reason, Trump said his tariffs would bring costs down for Americans. But the data shows what you already know: Americans are bearing 96% of the tariff burden. That's $200 billion coming straight out of our pockets because of him.

Jack Smith: "President Trump has sought to seek revenge against career prosecutors, FBI agents and support staff simply for having worked on these cases. To vilify and seek retribution against these people is wrong."

Trump is suing his own Justice Department to permanently block the release of Jack Smith's full report on Trump's attempts to subvert the 2020 election. He filed the motion in the Southern District of Florida, in other words with his crony Judge Cannon.

Elon Musk is donating $10 million to a Republican primary candidate in Kentucky.
That’s more money than the vast majority of Americans will ever see — much less donate.
Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

Proud to announce in Davos at the World Economic Forum that California has surpassed 2.5M ZEV sales.
While Washington now cedes the global clean vehicle market to China, California is ensuring American workers and manufacturers can excel in the industries that will define this century.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Reminder:
The destruction of the United States is one of Trump's goals, part of the plan.
We didn't re-elect him in 2020.
He wants revenge on us for his humiliation. He's enacting it.
