Trump is pissed that the Smithsonian talks about how bad slavery was.

No, that's not a joke.

That's exactly what he's mad about.

NEW: Home Depot says it will raise some prices because of Trump’s tariffs:

“For some imported goods, tariff rates are significantly higher today than they were at this time last quarter,” said CFO Richard McPhail.

What happened to other countries paying the tariffs? 🤔

America has never looked weaker than right now under Trump. Putin dominates Trump in every way.

Absolutely any war can always be ended "almost instantly" if you want - for this it is enough to simply capitulate. In fact, Trump directly accuses Ukraine of not capitulating.

Kharkiv right now. Moscovia bombs sleeping families. 4 victims including kids.

Don’t tell me about peace that Putin wants. Do not dare.

I believe Rubio's chronological age is still only 17. But you can see him aging before our eyes into a desiccated husk.

Who would have thought a slapdash last-minute thrown together summit to distract from the Epstein files would be a complete and utter failure?

No agency insignia at all on their uniforms, so this is likely not DEA or ATF or FBI or Border Patrol. So probably it’s DHS, most likely ICE.

And yeah, the comment about “liberal” is really telling. These guys are wildly unprofessional.

A farmers market in deep blue Santa Cruz might seem like a strange place to meet Trump supporters, but over the soft sounds of a hippie jazz combo playing Stella by Starlight, you can hear whispers that DEI is the reason the wild boar bacon is $22 a pound.

A very emotional and anxious day.
We all need a break and some rest.

So many people root for #Ukraine and work hard to get to peace.

I'd like to thank all these wonderful people.

We have cards. And we keep working.
Slava Ukraini!
