Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?
In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea.
Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.
As expected, most schools receiving @GovBillLee’s private school voucher taxpayer handouts have shady testing & transparency, and “patchwork” curriculums “largely based in Christianity”

The U.S. Supreme Court was given the wrong numbers. The “unwind” in the event of a negative decision on Tariffs, would be, including investments made, to be made, and return of funds, in excess of 3 Trillion Dollars. It would not be possible to ever make up for that kind of a “drubbing.” That would truly become an insurmountable National Security Event, and devastating to the future of our Country - Possibly non-sustainable!

This isn’t about moderates versus the far left. It’s about who’s actually fighting for people who are struggling.

NOAA Weather Prediction Center map showing forecast high temperatures for Tuesday, November 11, 2025. Warm conditions dominate the western and central U.S., with highs in the 70s to 90s. The eastern U.S. is much cooler, with highs mainly in the 30s and 40s.
Another day of unseasonably cool weather across the eastern third of the U.S. today, while the western two-thirds will see unseasonably warm readings. Warm temperatures push further east by mid-week, while cooler readings return to the west by the weekend. Visit weather.gov for your area weather.

He said: "Prices are down under Trump.'
Me: "It is quite literally false. There's not a single way you can interpret a word that the man's saying..as being remotely reflective of either what we're seeing in data from all across the country or in people's everyday lives."
Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."
For once, I believe him.
There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

So the House Judiciary Democrats just released info from a whistleblower that #GhislaineMaxwell is in the process of getting her sentence commuted by Donald Trump.
Maxwell was found guilty of #sextrafficking minors with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity.
A tweet from Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) reads: “BREAKING: President Trump has pardoned Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Christina Bobb, Boris Epshteyn and dozens of false GOP electors and other key figures involved in his effort to overturn the 2020 election results, per pardon attorney Ed Martin.”
The White House knows it tried to steal an election and stage a coup in Jan. 2021 with their help. Now it wants to bury the evidence beneath pardons. State AGs, you know what you need to do.
