Trump’s administration laid off thousands of federal workers, gutting critical departments: Treasury, HHS, and Education.

What we’re seeing now isn’t new. The shutdown is the new excuse. Create chaos, starve the government, and leave folks struggling while Trump’s billionaire buddies get richer.

Trump bailed out Argentina, who then undercut US farmers by selling their soybeans to China, who used be our biggest customer for soybeans before Trump drove them away with his tariffs.

This is Trump 3D chess in action.

Arrogance, Ignorance and Idiocy.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

Some say arming lunatics & the resulting murders they commit is simply the price we must pay to protect the freedom of armed lunatics to commit murders.

Let’s remember all the victims of senseless gun violence.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.
