This is so Fd up. Tax payers bet to pay for the tariffs and then get to pay for the corporate farmer bailouts. How many of these farmers voted for Trump. Let them fail.
The United States gives far too much power, money, and influence to silly people with heads full of nonsense.

MTG was on 60minutes describing how her and her family have been threatened with physical violence. I do not agree with almost everything she stands for and she has incited a lot of division and hatred, but no one should threaten a political opponent with violence. Laws must apply to all.

Perhaps we should review section 1 of the 14th amendment to the US Constitution as the SCOTUS hears the Trump case to challenge birth right citizenship

High population states that are majority Democrat are not doing anything wrong by re aligning congressional district’s to reflect the realities of the makeup of those districts. All Blue state Governors should push to Re district now. Do not let MAGA rig another election

RESISTANCE is alive and well in the United States
Protests of Trump may not look like the mass marches of 2017, but research shows they are far more numerous and frequent — while also shifting to more powerful forms of resistance

There is video and testimony that Pelosi not only didn’t deny a request for National Guard but she and others were manning phones practically begging the admin to send them in. She got a run around but the MAGAts persist and wallow in lies.

Democrats should do 3 things to win midterms. 1- invest in getting out the vote in all immigrant population centers. 2- re district and use the population advantage to win seats. 3- invest/campaign in rural white counties and design economic development and affordability initiatives in those areas

All Democratic Governors Must immediately begin steps to re district boundaries- every one, especially NY, CA, Illinois,PA with large pop ctrs.

I wonder if they will be looking into alleged J walking, smoking weed in college, making out under the boardwalk in HS, no complete stop at a stop sign- the Trump corruption is looking for a crime vs Evidence that one was actually committed- danger to ALL.
It’s the latest defeat to President Trump’s campaign of retribution against his political enemies. The Trump administration is reportedly considering a third attempt to obtain an indictment against James.

There should be an investigation asap. Remember there was fraud in the 2920 election by the Trump supporters- defamation of election workers, fake electors, an attack on our sitting congress to prevent election certification. We must stop saying there was no fraud in the 2020 election!

Hey Trump, are you telling your average MAGA voter that healthcare, housing, child care, college tuition, heating houses and buying cars are affordable within their means? I dare you to post that those things are affordable to anyone making under $100k. Forget those making $50k. Go ahead post away!

So which subscription do I cancel? Netflix or HBO Max?
The streamer will acquire the studio, along with HBO and HBO Max.
Netflix is buying Warner Bros. for $83 billion
But what will they rename HBO Max this time?
