Instead of Trump killing the Argentina money give away, he's doubling down, now the figure is $40 billion, still no help to American farmers, federal workers or critical programs like CDC's surveillance of viruses and diseases, btw, I hear Argentina has healthcare for their citizens!

MAGA thought they elected Trump to save America, but instead he’s saving Argentina. $40 billion now going to Trump’s buddy Javier Milei, while Americans can’t afford groceries, gas, or basic healthcare.

Hard to get a grip on the fact that the USA has a secret police force going around abducting people and all we’re doing is talking about it. Thank God for this Saturday but…

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Unbelievable, Trump took the federal government down to "bare bones" claiming no money then gave Argentina $20 billion of our money, it's just Monopoly money to him!

Guess who changed political parties 5xs and was once a Democrat, Trump, now he talks about killing so-called Democratic programs and Blue states vs Red states, as if he's only the President of Red states and programs should only benefit his voters--what's wrong with him? Some Dems voted for him, too
