"Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name." -- John Stuart Mill (1867)

It's almost like there should be some kind of a right to say what we want without retribution by the government... a right to free speech, if you will.

This is more idiocy from Trump's cabinet of dunces. The money tourists bring into an economy is vital to the survival of so many places in the USA. That these morons would do anything political to affect tourism shows just how utterly stupid they are.

🚨NEW: The NC Supreme Court's GOP majority will retroactively nullify 2,000 to 7,000 ballots from military and overseas voters unless they quickly prove their identity—but only those who voted in a few Democratic counties. Could overturn Justice Riggs' victory. appellate.nccourts.org/orders.php?t...

The best way to deal with Trump’s Sales Taxes (he calls them Tariffs) is to slow our spending until he is out of office.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

House Republicans just passed a sweeping anti-voting bill that historians are saying is the most anti-voting piece of legislation to come out of Congress in the nation's history. Paige and I explain. youtu.be/XS8aePRgFU4

No one knows how to flush away out tax dollars like Trump.

Make no mistake - Trump is still trying to destroy the United States - his tax rollback is insignificant in the big picture of things - our freedoms are still being trampled every day he is in power - he will not stop until we have NO government and he can call himself emperor.

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!

Ok sorry but getting on my soapbox to say that this isn’t a u-turn or a 180 or even a pause on tariffs. The MASSIVE tariffs are gone but BIG tariffs are still in place. And more so than before last week. Frame it right.

Let’s not forget that Trump is still needlessly increasing the cost of living for all Americans, even if he did lessen his taxation.

Absolutely absurd. We don’t need coal and we don’t want coal. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

Yes, ICE has deported U.S. citizens. And according to this report, they still don't require officers to update the system when they discover "probative evidence that an individual may be a U.S. citizen." So officers can discover that you're a citizen and just conceal it. www.gao.gov/products/gao...

Nope. Everyone knows that Trump’s taxes are based on lies. He is purposely crashing the economy to consolidate his power.
