Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

🎶 Because the list (the list) does not exist Because the list does not exist 🎶 ~ Hall and Oates on tariff deals

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

BREAKING -- Republicans just cut funding for the Affordable Care Act (ACA). That's right. $880 BILLION cut from ACA and Medicaid -- to pay for a billionaire tax cut -- raising the cost of healthcare for 119.3 million Americans. Are you one of them?

Jasmine Crockett 🔥🔥🔥 "All I kept hearing was 'fire.' ... They are lighting the Social Security on fire, Medicaid on fire, Medicare on fire, 401ks on fire, Department of Education on fire ..." Meanwhile, their incompetent leader has already wasted $26 million taxpayer dollars playing golf!

Calling my senators and telling them to filibuster the SAVE act.

The Supreme Court has to be totally reformed with impeachments for all treasonous justices and that trickling down to lower courts. Fuck judicial immunity. They must lose their careers for this.

That’s the UNION difference.

Corrupt AG Pam Bondi pledges her fealty to Trump and openly lies that he was "overwhelmingly elected by the biggest majority" and lies again by saying "you have the authority to determine how the money of this country will be spent." This is what a captured and corrupt DOJ looks like.

One thing that was reiterated this week: Money ≠ Intelligence

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

💥 "90 day delay except China" was leaked 1 day before the actual announcement. This is the biggest insider trading scheme in history.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act, a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote. We're calling on the Senate to reject this legislation.

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

While Democrats are fighting to protect hardworking Americans, House Republicans just voted to take away Medicaid from kids, families, seniors, and veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires. We’re not going away.

Amen!

He's disappearing people without due process. He's tanking the market. He's decimating our 401K's, decreasing the value of bonds and the dollar. He's ruining our relationships with allies & our reputation on the world stage. He's making prescription drugs more expensive. He's destroying our USA.

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

Okay folks, time for another letter. This one is calling for investigations into insider trading following the abrupt tariff reversal. Send this to all three of your members of Congress today! resist.bot/petitions/PW...

Be reminded that Auschwitz was in Poland not Germany.....

They said they were voting for him to make things cheaper…

78 million people voted for that asshole just to ‘own the libs.’ Instead, he’s fleecing America—and dragging them down with him. Great job, folks.

Moskowitz: When President Zelenskyy came to the White House, we heard a lot about what he was wearing. Oh my God, the precious Oval Office—he didn’t wear a suit! I mean, here’s a picture of Kid Rock in the Oval Office—he looks like he’s about to jump over 10 buses on the White House lawn.

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the check out line. And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

I have a confession to make. I have helped Greece rip off the US for years because I buy olive oil from the Peloponnese. I also prefer Parmesan Reggiano, so I contributed to the Italian theft of American money. Tariffs are the only way to stop this madnes

Yup!

"What the U.S. is doing now is not reform. It is rejecting the very system it created." - Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong (April 8, 2025)

In the end, anti-vaxxer parents hate science more than they love their children.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

The problem is sociopathic corporate greed. 🧐

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

Bone Spurs, despiser of Gold Star Families, calls those killed, injured or captured - LOSERS. The biggest LOSER wants a military parade??? It needs to be denied. People are hungry, weighted down with mortgages, out of work, lost retirements, no medical, How much will this cost to boost his ego?

.•••••••BREAKING••••••• China slaps retaliatory tariffs of 84% on U.S. goods.

They are are eating the checks; they are eating the balances. The economy is a wreck, but they are pretending we are in a palace. At the stroke of midnight the tarriffs will invoke more madness & the only question will be who will keep their lips tight & who will fight For the people that is!

Here’s the real reason why DOGE is gutting the IRS. (Hint: it has nothing to do with “efficiency.”)

War hero schools a chickenhawk.

This is very very very trumpy

Rand Paul: "I can't support a fallacy that is gonna make us lose our wealth. I have a retirement account too. I want my retirement account to stay there. And I think tariffs is gonna decimate it."

I strongly doubt the rest of the planet's 7 billion citizens are going to tolerate allowing one insane grandpa to do this to all of them for much longer.
