No, Senator. the blind leading the blind and wealthy for profit schools will not save anything.

Those voting against Harris for Biden’s Middle Eastern policies are sure glad they allowed Trump to win, I’m thinking. Maybe they’ll show the Dems the are serious about disregarding them in 2028 when they help JD Vance win.

Nail the line just like they practiced. He should just be delivered to the US Embassy and they’ll facilitate the rest.

That is actually not up to Rubio to decide. It is the Supreme Court. They already decided 9-0 that it does have the right, when the government doesn’t do its job.

Trump on President Zelensky: “He's always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know that you can win a war.You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles” (Russia started the war by invading Ukraine)

There’s a video circulating on social media that Trump raised the minimum wage to $25 an hour. 1. That’s a lie 2. Trump can’t do that 3. Trump wouldn’t do that even if could 4. Trump actually just *cut* contractor minimum wage.

China is literally exposing American companies for their price gouging 😂

Putin may have finally crossed a bridge too far. Pastor Mark Burns is Trump's "spiritual advisor " and was rabidly anti-Ukrainian. Was. Recently, he independently traveled to Ukraine to see things firsthand. To talk to the spiritual leaders of Ukraine of all faiths. 1/4

The Supreme Court ruled against the Trump administration 9-0 that they had an legal duty to facilitate his return. Even Thomas says they have to do so. Wonder what my govt representatives think. Cox,Lee, Curtis and Moore:Feel good backing an admin that see themselves as above the constitution?

Dear Leader forces Tim Apple to lower the prices of iPhones by $4,200. (for now anyway)

Why hasn’t Mr Trump investigated? Why has information been so quiet? Why has Mr Trump not brought it up since the nomination? I agree there are lots of questions, but IF an inside job, I’d be looking at the SS detail Mr Trump selected for himself. I think it was a mentally ill man.

Putin has got to be laughing a lil bit, right? Does not give a shit about Trump’s peace prize at all. And why should he? Trumps throws wild haymakers at the smallest slight to everyone-friends foes anyone. Even his love, Rocketman, gets nicknames but not the KGB guy.

These signs are glorious!😂

China is finally using the soft power of TikTok in the current trade wars. There are dozens of videos circulating from “influencers” speaking English revealing Luxury items in stores are made by the same people making knockoffs. Chanel,Dior,Prada,Guggi… same as counterfeits. Clever tactic.

“But Kept Mein Kampf.”

If we are going to go willey nilley deciding who we should deport on possibly “undermining US foreign policy” maybe we should consider that loudmouth who manipulated markets in the last couple weeks?

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

If Democrats were smart, they would immediately introduce farm aide legislation. The tariffs are going to wipe many out. It’s possibly the best way to bring in rural voters and those farmers betrayed by Trump’s efforts. Wait until MAGA does? Too late.

The dream is dead

An estimated 15,000 people are at the Fighting Oligarchy rally with AOC and Bernie Sanders in Los Angeles today. Amazing!

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

In 2020 Brazil supplied China with 13% of there imported farm crops. Now, they are closer. They supply them with 43%. China and others see the US as unfaithful trading partners. Businesses to businesses they work well. When our current government gets involved… #ETTD

I was born John. But my birth year, after JFK died, was populated with large number of Johns. I went my my nick name all of my life. Can’t imagine what it matters to the State what I’m called by friend, families or teachers. Weird is the correct term for Trump and Co. apple.news/A5s2ZySO7S6e...

Remember when the orange felon said he would be able to end the Russian invasion in Ukraine in just one day? I do and yet the war rages on 80 days later. Like everything else in his useless fraudulent meaningless existence, it was another lie.

Great speech on real fascism, Senator Lee. You should watch. You’ll learn a thing or two.

The price of oil has now dropped below the profit line for U.S. petroleum. Short term we will have lower gas prices for a time. But, drillers are stopping. They aren’t going to drill in the US at a lose. We have managed to make ourselves energy dependent again. Thanks, Trump.

And, that does NOT Make America Great.

208 members of Congress sign on to an amicus brief arguing that eliminating birthright citizenship isn’t just unconstitutional, it also violates multiple laws passed by Congress which require and/or acknowledge jus soli. Cc: @evanbernick.bsky.social litigationandresponse.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Sorry Lee! Not true. I know many Europeans. I’ve been to war alongside some. They don’t hate Americans. But, Our current administration acts fascist all the time. You are confused. Mike Lee has called Europeans ‘fascists.’ Here’s their ambassador’s message to Utahns. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

Liberation day is paused?

I have zero evidence, but this toying around and manipulating the markets sure seem to look like it done so some insiders can benefit. No manufacturer are going to invest in US if they can’t plan out past his next mood swing. apple.news/ACMq85iKSSJ2...

Using the weight of the most powerful nation on earth against one or two universes at a time. Piecemeal massacres. Needs just to hold the line. If not, they’ll be carrying his water from now on. apple.news/A5A5reNogS92...

OK, Trump’s wrecking the economy but at least we have RFK Jr in charge of public health.

Always on point.

At least 17 international students and recent graduates at the University of Utah have had their visas revoked — receiving letters from President Donald Trump’s administration instructing them to immediately “self-deport.”

Remember Governor Cox outrage and indignation with the Biden administration, so decided he supported Trump? He own this, too.

From back-to-back 20%+ years — and “envy of the world” — to this. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/b...

Letter: 250 years ago we declared independence from a king. Dear fellow patriots, why do you now kiss a king’s ring?

Until Trump’s Supreme Court says the constitution doesn’t really say what it says.

There is a reason the IRS didn’t share this information with Immigration. Now, we are going to lose one more stream of revenue. They aren’t playing 3D chess. Shortsighted vengeance is what’s going on. I don’t see a bottom until we have a Congress doing their jobs. apple.news/AmRdYFEGNQ0K...

I used to think I knew what was legal and not. The current administration and their courts have shown me no one is safe anymore. apple.news/AsOh0SApVSMi...
