New fentanyl data undercuts White House’s portrayal of Canada’s role in U.S. drug crisis Fentanyl identified as coming from Canada amounted to barely more than one-10th of 1%, according to data obtained through American freedom-of-information laws

Explain to me like I’m 10 years old: Why is our drug problem the fault of suppliers but not our gun problem?

Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."

You can literally tell the President of the United States anything, totally made up and he’ll social media post or Executive Order about it two minutes later.

4 Republican Senators joined all the Democratic Senators to end certain tariffs on Canadian goods

BUT

It needs HOUSE votes to pass

So with those ass lickers in the HOUSE, led by the king ass licker Johnson, I'm not holding out much hope

Trump expels Democratic regulators at FTC Trump's dismissal of two Federal Trade Commission members Tuesday echo his recent moves against Democrats at other independent federal agencies.

This is so much illegal bullshit and, more to the point, an obvious payback to the tech billionaires who lined up like pathetic props at the inauguration. FTC chair Andrew Ferguson is exactly the unctuous toady to oligarchs l expected him to be www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

This shit makes me want to slam my head into a wall, so excuse my language.

How many times have MAGA folks said β€œdo your research”? Meanwhile, these dumb-fuck Trump voters didn’t Google shit or even listen to his own words.

Now democracy is on the line because of their willful ignorance.

I had to compose myself before postingβ€”because this breaks a part of my soul.

If you’re a contractor with a segregation policy, say it loudβ€”so non-white dollars don’t fund your business. It won’t go how you think.

And if anyone uncovers businesses doing this, put them on blast.

YouTube video by PBS NewsHour WATCH: β€˜I have nothing to do with Project 2025,’ Trump says | ABC Presidential Debate

Trump keeps claiming he has a mandate to do whatever he wants because he won. He says that to make it impossible to oppose him. But, no one voted for this. He claimed he wasn't going to do Project 2025, which is exactly what he's doing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUnu...

Opinion | DOGE says it’s saving $100 billion. It’s about to lose a lot more. Cuts to the IRS will backfire by giving tax evaders a free pass.

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would β€” very conservatively β€” lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..."

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"
