Trump campaigned on lowering costs and creating jobs. Instead, he’s focused on tax cuts for billionaires, terrorizing immigrant communities and grifting.

The results? 1.1 million lost jobs (!), higher prices everywhere, and no accountability anywhere.

I just heard a remarkable point on the Drug speedboats that no one is talking about:

These tiny speedboats can only travel about 200 miles and Venezuela is over 2000 miles away.

How exactly are they on their way to America?

The Associated Press is now apparently prioritizing Russian place names for Ukrainian towns. The town in question is called Pokrovsk, regardless of what the Kremlin may or may not prefer - suggesting otherwise legitimizes Russia's invasion

Reminder Repubs: The last time we had Republicans run all 3 Branches of Gov with "Tariffs and Free Market are the Way" policy was in 1928

You know what happened in 1929.

And in 1932 Election, we got 12 years of FDR as a correction.

Smoke em while ya got 'em, bc you are gonna get burned by Trump

This article is worth reading. There are valid concerns that kids are on powerful e-motos that can do a lot of damage bc kids don't make great decisions

But we've got no cooperative bike culture in the US, and a world built for cars where speed and aggression are the norms

So the new Headline should be:

TRUMP DECIDED TO LEAVE AFGHAN TERRORISTS ON THE STREET AND INSTEAD DEPORT YOUR FRIENDLY LANDSCAPER.

1/2 🧵What Trump does NOT want you to know is that the claim Lakanwal (the alleged shooter of two National Guardsmen)…who entered the U.S. in 2021 and was “granted asylum” in April 2025 under the Trump administration appears to be true and is also being widely reported.

This Holiday Season, Remind your MAGA family members, who are angry at Trump, that Liberals can't fix this for them

Dems literally have no power in all 3 branches of Gov.

The Fix HAS to come from Republicans themselves. They are the majority and Trump will listen to no one else.

Encourage them.

The more I think about it the more i like it.

"Trumplicans" have abandoned MAGA's mission to expose Jeffery Epsteins Child Predator Network".

"Trumplicans turn their back on MAGA Patriots as they face record unemployment, inflation, and loss of medical insurance.

Yeah, this has BIG potential.
I mean, the obvious answer is "Trumplican" but his addled, dementia brain can't get there.

That said, yes, he has abandoned MAGA. That is the real message here and the one that will piss off MAGA the most.

RealPage allegedly helped landlords price-fix and jack up the cost of rent.

Instead of cracking down, Trump's Justice Department struck a “deal” that lets them continue to rip off renters.

Is that the art of the deal or a sham? RealPage called it "an endorsement."

The case had alleged that RealPage’s software allowed landlords to unfairly coordinate prices.
