The Trump/Musk chainsaw massacre of public services continues. The Trump Admin has said that these patriotic public servants have been fired for performance. That was a BIG LIE. If poor performance were the test, it’s Trump, Musk and the billionaire cabinet who should be FIRED.

Trump is lying. India and Pakistan both say the United States wasn’t involved in negotiating the ceasefire.

Trump and Musk are about to give refugee status to 60 white South Africans — who do not need it — while Trump locks up and deports refugees here who face genuine dangers in other countries. This is the sick global apartheid policy being adopted by this lawless administration.

Started at 10%, ended at 10%. Trump’s “deal” means nothing. All his tariffs have done is caused supply chain disruption and sowed distrust in our relations with allies… and now the 10% tariff remains in place, still costing Americans.

"We have good investments over there-" Just a reminder, America. He's talking about how his personal business empire is affected by the deal with the UK, not the welfare of the people of the United States that he is apparently President of.

In a surprising turn of events, the "full and comprehensive" "agreement" is not full, comprehensive, or an agreement, and is in fact just a framework for negotiation. Thankfully, this is the first and only time Trump will lie about something, so we should keep taking him at his word. 🫡

WaPo: Trump is pushing countries to grant operating permits to Elon Musk as a precondition for any trade deal, according to a leak from the State Department. Some countries are pre-emptively complying to earn favor with the US. More evidence of Musk's control of every aspect of the US Government.

Trump’s “crypto dinner” is literally selling the power of the US president to the highest foreign bidders. THIS IS TOTAL BRIBERY — and an unconstitutional violation of the Emoluments Clause.
