California's economy just posted its best quarterly growth showing since 2013. With the nation's largest GDP, the Golden State is keeping America's economy afloat despite Trump's failed economic policies.

If you are the DOJ, it is unprecedented to lose 17 straight voting cases in 17 different courts without winning a single one. It's even more remarkable when 8 of them were decided by judges appointed by Trump. How long will the networks ignore this? How long will Trump?

$100 to any reporter who asks him, "so you're saying Capitol Police should've shot dead everyone who breached the Capitol on January 6?"

Trump’s initial reason for attacking Iran was because they killed 30,000 citizens and Trump was going to save the remaining citizens. Now Trump is threatening to wipe them all off the face of the earth.

The SCOTUS upheld the finding that the POTUS, Donald J Trump, digitally raped E Jean Carroll.. Let that sink in…Even Trump’s hand picked court couldn’t exonerate him..

Activist Supreme Court Justice

Rep. Mike Levin@levin.house.gov

There is no world in which this is okay.     Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 🧵

Prices are up on gas, groceries, rent, utilities, health care, and just about everything else. Shit’s too expensive and workers’ wages aren’t keeping up. America’s unions worry about this 24/7. Our President of the United States should, too.

last years fourth quarter growth shows that tariffs and the government shutdown slowed growth to 1.4%, bringing overall growth down from 2.8% in 2024 to 2.2% in 2025. While the U.S. added 1.46 million jobs in 2024, it added only 181,000 in 2025. Manufacturing lost about 108,000 jobs in 2025.
