It isn't complicated.

His plan to go after the midterms is clear

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

In addition to his corrupt initiation of mid-decade gerrymandering in multiple states, Trump continues to gear up to use DOJ, the US military, and local Republican authorities to rig the midterms.

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

Chicago City Council member searching for agents on bike during school pick-up: "We are gonna have to be as relentless as ICE"

Dancing and protesting in front of the Portland ICE facility 😁

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

Do not doubt their courage changes the plans! @ sunrise, faith leaders & neighbors blocked the bridge to Coast Guard Island, demanding ICE & federal agents leave. Trump’s anti-immigrant offensive met the power of solidarity. They came with stun grenades—communities answered with courage and light.

While we’re on the subject of Ronald Reagan.

Robert Reich The Shady World of Surveillance Pricing (Ft. Lina Khan)

A new report finds corporations like Kroger and McDonald's are using digital loyalty programs to track your data and potentially charge you more.

It's a tactic known as surveillance pricing.

Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains. https://youtu.be/-cbtUYshYM8?si=GPRt5_WnLehnjgWR

Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs. The Reagan Foundation said that they, “created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,” and “did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.” The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their “rescue” on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn’t! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

Democrats, stand strong. Stand up for working families like mine who are just trying to stay covered.

People are about to get priced out of healthcare in the richest country on Earth. And yes, I blame Republicans 100% for this mess.

Well, Fam, just found out our health insurance is jumping from $1700 to over $3000 a month. And we still have to wait till Nov 1 to see more options—when the site will probably crash because everyone will be freaking out at the same time.

Worst. President. EVER.

Conveniently, right before the midterms!

This isn’t going to go the way they think it is.

The National Guard isn’t going to allow themselves to be used as Trump’s voter suppression force.

Congratulations to Trump and the GOP Congress - they now own the two longest government shutdowns in history.

Every day, it seems like we tick a little bit closer to midnight.

Would be great if the GOP Congress would quit sleepwalking through this.

You can literally watch Reagan’s words side-by-side with Canada’s ad.

They didn’t misrepresent anything.

Trump is lying. Again. As usual.

YouTube video by Cathy Fink Marcy Marxer IT AINT GONNA GO AWAY - ODE TO THE EPSTEIN FILES

🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
No amount of chaos or distraction will make us forget. The Epstein files hold the truth about power, corruption, and exploitation. Justice cannot hide behind influence forever. Keep the pressure on—NEVER STOP demanding the release of the Epstein files.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

The signing bonus also prompted discussions internally because it’s not contingent on a key part of the hiring process, which is passing the academy, another source said. Even candidates who don’t pass the academy and are slotted for administrative jobs are still pocketing thousands of dollars.

Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild. This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right.

They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus.

Seems like a great way to burn a ton of cash. Also? Here’s some waste for sure!

PA residents since bootlicker Fetterman isn't going to spread this message I f'n will!!! Tell the oligarchy to stay the hell out of Pennsylvania! Vote YES on November 4th to retain our judges!!!

Do it like your kid's lives depend on it!!! ~fElon~

Good. Took too long, but I’ll take it.
