Who imposed tariffs?
Who cut immigration, destroying the ag workforce?
Who undermined the Fed?
Who halted renewable energy?
Who's running deficits?

Ukrainians are without heat, light and sometimes water because Russia is waging a genocidal war of aggression and the West is pursuing a policy of stubborn cowardice and insane stupidity.

All politics aside, that is the ugliest decorated room that I've ever seen. It is garish and vulgar.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

Trump threatens legal action against BBC as chairman apologises for 'error of judgement' on speech edit The BBC says it will respond

Yep. Keep capitulating to this monster. Don't worry, he'll change for you. You can change him. He's only 80, a convicted felon, and an adjudicated rapist with 67 sex-crime allegations on him. Just keep rolling over. If you roll over enough maybe we can have the whole fucking world in flames by 2028.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

A country that forces human-beings to beg for food in order to avoid taxing the wealthy is morally bankrupt and has no future

Norway struck oil in the 60s. Now it has trillions. This is how Australia compares Norway struck oil in the 1960s. Now, almost a quarter of its national budget is funded through its sovereign wealth fund. How does Australia compare with taxing its resources?

The words β€œpusillanimous” and β€œcaptured” come to mind

β€œNorway has imposed a 56% "special tax" for oil & gas companies, alongside a 22% corporate tax rate. The proceeds..have been reinvested in its sovereign wealth fund, which is now the largest in the world”

With all these extrajudicial boat murders, we have a president who is not only an adjudicated rapist, but also an unapprehended serial killer.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

Trump’s America: FBI Director is taking govt jets to watch his girlfriend sing, president is in Palm Beach holding Great Gatsby balls after golf, we are murdering people in boats while refusing to show proof of guilty, govt is shut down, airports are a disaster, prices are up.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
