Nearly half of businesses have reported raising prices due to Trump's tariffs.

Two-thirds have seen sales drop.

Remember that promise to lower prices on Day 1?

Americans cannot afford Donald Trump's economic policies.

Why Federal Judge Might Swear in Member of Congress

Judge might step in if there is an unexpected or unusual situation, such as a delay in the formal swearing-in ceremony or refusal by Speaker to administer oath

Speaker Johnson has yet to swear in newly elected Democrat, because of Epstein Files

The image shows two X posts. The first, by Juliette Kayyem (@juliettekayyem
) from 1 hour ago, states: "'Take care of' is not subtle. This weekend the ground has shifted and no person can deny what the president, unpopular and unfit, intends. To remain silent is to welcome this. They can both sides or claim they didn't hear, but there is no wiggle room about his plans now." The second, by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar
) from 6 hours ago, quotes Trump addressing the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats." The post includes a photo of Trump speaking to a group in Navy uniforms, with a caption noting he "called the Democrats. They want to give all of our money to illegal."

No President should ever stoke this kind of division and dehumanize the other half of the country in this way.

Last year they claimed β€œillegals” were voting, without any evidence.

They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.

Now they claim β€œillegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.

So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Enough.

This SC judge blocked the Trump administration from getting voter data and was targeted by a top Trump aide on social media.

In Maine the Maine Wire and state GOP are targeting Shenna Bellows. She and her husband have gotten death threats. I hope nothing like this happens.

A judge blocked Trump from sending Oregon's National Guard into Portland.

That same judge then blocked Trump from deploying California's National Guard to Portland instead.

This isn't a "left wing" judge β€” Trump appointed her.

Says a lot about Trump's authoritarian power grab.

Here’s the thing. Today’s right doesn’t believe in the Constitution or the rule of law. Today’s right embraces authoritarianism, they’re fine with fascism, bcuz they long for a strongman. Which is why I’m no longer part of the right, and why today’s right is utterly un-American.
