Remember when you were a kid, playing games with friends—there was always that one kid who tried to change the rules mid-game just to win… but still lost, and everyone knew they were cheating?
That’s DOGE.

Follow, please. I'm happy to make a video on this so we all know which products made in El Salvador we are no longer buying while Bukele uses our tax money to kidnap innocent men to his torture gulag.
Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

Trump’s USDA has put thousands of farmers in an untenable limbo, by not honoring their signed contracts. Farmers need the money they planned on and are owed. Last night, Senate Republicans blocked my amendment to protect farmers. It’s not acceptable to abandon farmers this way.
