A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

It’s good that the courts are making clear that Trump’s destructive tariffs are illegal.

Everything is for sale.

I filed for transparency on this corrupt bill. It was voted down- there's brief reporting on corps receiving over $10K- they won't tell us how much. These are OUR tax dollars- we have a right to know. Many leg's and our Gov are personally benefitting from this. www.tennessean.com/story/money/...

American innovation is the lifeblood of our economy & extends beyond assembly. I invite anyone to Michigan to see for themselves how the F-150 goes from sketch pad to engineering lab to test track to rolling off the assembly line thanks to the skill of our hourly workers — all within 1 square mile.
