So the House passed a law that bars non-citizens from voting, which is already illegal, but also puts millions of women’s voting rights in peril. My goodness, must have been an accidental side effect … right? #ProudBlie

Murphy: When you see the 10-year bond exploding… when you see markets moving like a sine curve—that’s the opposite of stability. A strong dollar is in our national interest. What we’re seeing now is the opposite of that.

Literal LOL “.. 64% of US imports from Taiwan are now exempt from the 10% reciprocal tariff, 44% from Malaysia, and almost 30% from both Vietnam and Thailand. 10% to 12% of imports from India, Korea and Mexico will also now be exempt.” 🤡

Remember I told you that the plan is to get the “minerals deal” with Ukraine, then “realize” you can’t get the profits on it (infrastructure isn’t there, and… war), so then Russia could “buy US out” of the deal and hereby own it all? Think who actually needs the pipeline to have EU’s dependence ⬇️

WHOA. Trump will strip Temporary Protected Status from thousands of AFGHANS, at a time when the Taliban is fully in control of the country and carrying out total oppression. If any country deservers TPS, it's obviously Afghanistan! We're going to send women back there to be treated as property?

More unconstitutional seizure of Congress' spending power: Trump does not have the authority to do this, this is yet another sign that we're living under a tyrant who rules us outside the constitutional order

This firmly cements my belief that in addition to mass mobilization to save the Constitution, the number one thing anyone left of Stephen Miller needs to be working on is a Manhattan Project to mobilize non-voters.
