His approval rating among women should be zero.
Donald Trump:

• "I think the women love me."

• "Nobody respects women more than Donald Trump."

• "I love women. I respect women"

• "I cherish women. I want to help women."

• "I will protect our women"

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

We created a new tool that uses prescription label information to identify where your drug was made.

It also lets you see if and when that factory was inspected for quality and safety violations.

Try it out 👇
Where Was My Generic Prescription Drug Made? - Rx Inspector - ProPublica
The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information on your prescription label to locate the factory and see inspection reports.

It means a lot to me when the billionaire tells me that affordability is a hoax. I'm sure he understands my hardships and struggles to pay my bills. Of course he wouldn't add tariffs to most of the items that are imported into the country that just makes it worse.

Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston.

THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES.

These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations.

This Is Fascism.

This is because Intuit, Inc. gave Donald Trump $1,000,000 for his "inauguration." Intuit owns Turbo Tax, which makes money off charging taxpayers to file their returns.

The corruption is rampant and in plain sight.

NEW: On inspection reports, the FDA routinely blacks out the names of drugs coming from foreign factories found to have manufacturing failures, keeping information about potentially ineffective or unsafe medications secret from the public.
Is Your Medication Made in a Contaminated Factory? The FDA Won’t Tell You.
The agency’s decision to conceal drug names on inspection reports has prevented doctors, pharmacists and patients from knowing whether medications made overseas are tainted by manufacturing failures that could make them ineffective or unsafe.
