I haven’t the froggiest idea why…
A tweet from Molly Ploofkins says: “Inflatable frog costumes are sold out on Amazon.” The attached image shows a product listing for a green inflatable frog costume with dark spots, a white belly, and a blue bow tie. The listing title reads “Inflatable Frog Costume Adult Men Women Outfit… for Halloween Holiday Cosplay Party Animal,” and it’s marked as “Currently unavailable.”

What is Trump talking about when he says he wants to go after “Democrat programs”?

Healthcare? Clean air? Safe food?

These aren’t “Democrat programs.” These are people programs.
