Unemployment is at its highest level since 2017. What’s great about that? Listen, your support of Trump is solely based on the fact that Trump pisses off democrats. That’s it. We both know nothing has improved. You’re gaslighting yourself if you think otherwise.

Threatening cuts to Medicare in the BBB that would affect my disabled mother in law and force my family to make up the difference. Cost me more for every car repair, appliance repair, and home repair thanks to tariffs. And that’s the immediately tangible things.

Threatening to put my autistic son into a database to track him. Funding cuts for food banks that forced my wife out of her job. Threatening universities as my twins prepare for college. Asinine trade policies that affect my spending and retirement.

Don’t worry. If the GOP has their way, I’ll die long before I’m eligible to retire.

I watch zero cable news (don’t have cable) and I’m an actual political scientist. Prices continue to rise for cars, appliances, groceries, etc. Also all verifiable with screenshots.

You must not have retirement savings.

In some areas of the country, yes because that’s an average. But this is once again an area that an American president doesn’t control. But he said he did.

Great news if you’re on an all egg diet (also presidents don’t determine egg prices). But nothing else is cheaper. We’re a family of 6 and everything continues to rise.

The United States. Groceries aren’t cheaper at all. Gas hovers around the same price, goes down during the week, then back up for the weekend, been like that for weeks. My 401(k) and investments have taken a beating. What’s cheaper for you?

It goes down 10 cents, then up 15. Then down 15, and up 10. Been like that for weeks.

Garcia was picked to be made an example of to the rest of the country. The Trump administration gambled on him, thought no one would care, and the law would side with them. They were wrong. Together, we are strong. Let’s continue to be loud.

One of the biggest scandals in Central Pennsylvania where I live in the last 25 years was a huge cocaine bust that netted dozens of Amish who were dealing the drug from their homes and buggies. I never got caught up in a conversation with any of them.

It’s clear that Garcia was the administration‘s “example” to the rest country. The biggest problem with that is that he’s not guilty of anything they’ve so far tried to indict him with.
