So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

“Trump has arrested less than 600 illegals during the first 13 days of February.” Even Obama was able to deport ~ 1,200 illegal immigrants a day with less staff and no military support. Just another inept Trump program.

Weird to watch Netflix movies about daring secret agents working on behalf of the president to protect the country when in real life the president’s the one the country needs protection from.

BREAKING: Consumer prices rose 0.5% in January, pushing the annual inflation rate to 3%, both higher than expected. Food prices jumped 0.4%, while energy prices surged 1.1%, driven by a 1.8% increase in gasoline costs. Make no mistake—inflation will only continue to worsen.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

At least $12 trillion from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA. Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

The international community is booing the US national anthem, the vast majority of fentanyl comes in via US citizens, and the Biden administration secured the same deal of 10,000 border troops in 2021 without plunging the country (and markets) into chaos. But sure, great work 👍
