Leavitt: "Electricians, plumbers -- we need more of those in our country, and less LGBTQ graduate majors from Harvard University. And that's what this administration's position is."

Who understands how federal money moves? How does the Trump Admin. get its grubby hands on money to, for example, pay the gulags in El Salvador, and could congress cut off its supply? Who actually administers the federal money at the level of banks/distribution/etc.? 1/3

I’m no expert on tariffs, but I do know that wildly fluctuating economic chaos is a recipe for disaster for business planning. 🤦🏻♀️

Donald turns his limited attention from setting fire to our economy with his crazy obsession with tariffs to make time for yet one more of his crazy obsessions: the amount of water coming from showerheads.

Raskin: He destroyed more than $10 trillion in American wealth in a single week. And then he went golfing and bragged to America about winning the tournament at his own golf course. That's like bragging about being endorsed by your own campaign manager. So much winning

Trump just shut down the DOJ's unit that investigates crypto fraud.
Remember: Trump and his inner circle stand to profit from their crypto investments and a proposed national crypto reserve — while taxpayers could be left holding the bag.
It's a new Golden Age for corruption.

When you removed populations from the category of human rights, are you removing them from the category of human?
The annual State Department human rights report “will remove all sections covering the rights of women, LGBTQ+ people, and the disabled as well as sections dedicated to discrimination against indigenous people and corruption in government.”

Fun fact about Trump tariffs you won’t see in 99% of the reporting:
Trump tariffs are illegal.
Congress controls tariffs just like tax rates.
President can change a tariff only for national security emergency, meaning war.

Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump have never been hired for their abilities or on merit.
It's always been because they have a rich Daddy, which is also how their own father "qualified" for all of his first jobs.
