Donald Trump really only ran on 3 things: lower prices, keep us out of war, slash the national debt. Gas has had a 40% increase. We’re at war with Iran. As of yesterday the debt hit an ALL TIME HIGH at $39 trillion. You got played…the above is a comment from another post.

Trump and Musk did this

Two pilots dead at LaGuardia. A lone controller managing two simultaneous emergencies. The FAA is 3,000 controllers short. We will blame the human. We should fix the system. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

My father came to the U.S. with $30 and a belief that your worth isn’t defined by where you’re born, but by what you build. That promise is under attack. On April 1, SCOTUS will hear a case challenging birthright citizenship—putting countless families at risk. Here’s what’s at stake.

It must be *infuriating* to TSA agents, who are NOT getting paid, to see lazy ICE agents, who ARE getting paid, lounging about the airport and doing nothing to help either them or passengers.

​​We gave Amazon a $17.5 BILLION tax break last year. Meta got $13.7 BILLION. Citigroup didn't pay a penny—we gave them a tax REFUND. Those tax breaks didn't do anything to create jobs, let alone save them. We have got to stop with the corporate tax giveaways.

You have to wonder if the actions of Trump and Republicans are designed to drive out family farms to benefit corporate agriculture and developers. After all, that's who pays them.

Farmers: We need fertilizer for crops. Rollins: Here’s some money. Farmer: Thanks, but we still need fertilizer. Rollins: Why don’t you just take the money and stop being a snowflake! Farmer: I don’t think you understand agriculture.

Have you clocked how the outrage machine works? The right rages about “fraud” nonstop as a culture war trigger. But not when it comes to the billionaire class. They get a pardon.

I'm confused how an American president can reduce sanctions on two countries currently killing American citizens and others and remain in office. Why 'treason' means something different in the US?

I sincerely hope the entire regime occupying our country, is held accountable for all the deaths they've caused globally. Especially for all the children here and abroad that they've destroyed. My heart hurts for every single person and their families. 💔 #SheShed

Instead of passing TSA funding, which Democrats have proposed 7 different times, Trump’s fix to these outrageously long lines is to send ICE agents who have no relevant experience and killed American citizens into our airports.

The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs — including nearly two million children. The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war. Priorities.

The White House released legislative recommendations that claim to be a national AI "framework,” but instead let Big Tech companies endanger our rights. Congress must reject this dangerous proposal, and leaders at the state and federal levels must pass new safeguards to protect our civil liberties.

cnn.comThe White House just laid out how it wants to regulate AI | CNN BusinessThe White House on Friday released its long-awaited national artificial intelligence legislative framework, a move to prevent states from enacting their own laws and enforce the Trump administration's light-touch approach to AI regulation.

One has to ask, how much did they pay Trump?

Whoa whoa whoa. WSJ reports that Trump *personally* pushed the Justice Department to settle its antitrust case with Live Nation. Several sources for my NYT column speculated this was the case. The Journal says it's a fact. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
