Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

Americans are about to pay out the nose for more IKEA stuff - specifically kitchens and upholstered furniture. Let’s not blame US consumers. The issue simply is that Hone Depot, Lowe’s, IKEA, Wayfair and the major furniture retailers, cannot buy affordable US made bath/kitchen cabinets.

Sec. Lutnick, creator of Project 2025, says our government will own 10% of Intel, ( non voting), for the money Congress approved for Intel under the CHIPS Act. Trump Republicans now are contradicting the laissez- faire capitalist approach they preached for the last 70 years. Looks like a Trump grift
