Proof Trump CAVED:

To all the MAGA who is saying Trump “got what he wanted” because Mexico is sending 10,000 troops to the border:

Biden achieved the same deployment in 2021 without any threats. 👇

Dear DNC,
Thanks for the fundraising email, but you won't see a dime of my money until you send me a detailed plan of how Democrats in office are forming an opposition party against this fascist MAGA takeover.
Sincerely,
A lifelong Democrat who is sick of your cowardice

Republicans just introduced a bill that would eliminate safety regulations and standards for workers.

This will get workers killed, and encourage corporations to gamble with their workers’ safety to increase profits.

There’s a reason corporations donate so much to politicians.

This is a good NPR piece on the lies on which Trump's tariff attack are based.
1) Far fewer deaths than Trump and @karolineleavitt claimed
2) Almost no Canadian involvement
3) Biden already made progress on reversing it

The White House says fentanyl smuggled to the U.S. justifies tariffs against Canada, China and Mexico. But fentanyl deaths and smuggling have been dropping fast — and Canada plays almost no role.
