Of course, the irony of Trump’s post about us needing to send a “hospital boat” to Greenland was that it only emphasized the point that we, in fact, do not have any hospital ships in service right now that are available, while Greenlanders have free universal health care.

Be aware of which political party wants the American people to vote and will protect our collective right to do so…and which political party wants to restrict that right so that they may remain in power indefinitely.
The difference could not be clearer than at the present moment.

‘No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico
A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.
This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.
He finally died.
I am so angry.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Voter fraud found in Georgia.
Not by Democrats.
Not by immigrants.
By Elon Musk's America PAC sending out pre-filled absentee ballot applications.

When we topple the Trump regime we should claw back every dime his family pilfers from the U.S. Treasury. Include all the fines & restitution he allowed fraudsters to get out of paying via corrupt pardons. Costing Americans billions. Stop MAGA now.
