Coffee prices are skyrocketing thanks to Trump’s reckless trade wars. Up 25.9%

With 50% tariffs on Brazil, our biggest coffee supplier, taking effect last week, your morning joe will only get more expensive.

Trump’s β€œRussia” slip shows more than bad geographyβ€”it’s a pattern of cognitive decline. Pair that with his authoritarian leanings, and you get a leader both unfit and dangerous.

Larger business, Walmart, now is selling Roma tomatoes at $1.38 per pound in the Wilkes-Barre, PA. store. Last year, those same tomatoes were .98 cents a pound. Tariffs are a TAX!!!!

The level of White nationalism, racism, of this administration is aborhent. Or, it is full of STUPID people. Either way, our country is in trouble.

WaPo: Trump admin forming a β€œQuick Reaction Force” of troops tasked with rapidly deploying into American cities facing protests or other unrest

Ah yes, nothing says β€œland of the free” like a standing army ready to put down the people who disagree with you.

Latest inflation data just arrived came in right at the consensus forecast. Headline inflation of 0.2% in the month, running at 2.7% over the year. Core rose 0.3% in July, and 3.1% over the year.

For two years inflation was declining toward the Fed's target. That seems to be over.

We've filed more than 10 FOIA requests seeking all information regarding Trump & his ties to Epstein-MaxwellΒ 

Why was Ghislaine Maxwell moved? To a country club prison, no less?

We're willing to go to court for the truthβ€”I discussed @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social

YouTube video by The Seneca Project Tara Setmayer goes off on MAGA commentator Scott Jennings: "Trump doesn't back the Blue."

"I can’t tolerate when Trump supporters try to act as though Trump backs the blue. He doesn't.

He abdicated that because you know what? He did not defend the Constitution. And he violated his oath of office. You know who said that? You did." - @tarasetmayer.bsky.social

In DC, only two people can deploy the NG. The president and sec of defense.

The only reason they pulled off J6 was because they denied calls for the guard 14X. This is where I was waiting for him to authorize the deployment of the NG. He praises/pardoned criminals, and hired them into his admin.

BREAKING: I asked the nonpartisan CBO what the Big Ugly Law means for working people.

They just confirmed Trump is enriching his billionaire friends at the expense of American families.

It is the largest transfer of wealth from working Americans to the ultra-rich in history.

Violent crime in Washington, D.C. is at a thirty-year low.

Donald Trump has no basis to take over the local police department.

And zero credibility on the issue of law and order.

Get lost.

Major Andriy Tkachuk says the situation in Sumy region is stabilizing, with Ukrainian troops continuing counteroffensive actions there as well as operations in Kursk region. He noted that while Russia had previously escalated threats of advancing on Sumy, it currently lacks the capability to do so.

Instead of taking over the DC Metropolitan Police at a time when crime in the capital is declining and is lower than it was during Trump's first term, wouldn't it just be easier to release the Epstein files?

Trump Administration Live Updates: President to Deploy National Guard in Washington, D.C.

BREAKING: It’s official. The Trump regime will deploy the National Guard in D.C.

Let’s be clear about what this is.

This is NOT about homelessness or crime.

This is an authoritarian regime using the US military to seize a Democratic city, terrorize its residents, and lock up Black & Brown people.

This creep will stoop to the bottom of a cesspool to grap power. His Yale degree has allowed him to be clever and manipulative with words, but not how to see with moral clarity or an honest historical view.

What a stupid, idiotic, nonsensical comment from an apparent ignorant man. The lack of understanding of history, or perhaps willful denial of history, is dangerous. This is not American leadership, just tRUMP infused crap this clown gets paid by to spew. Shame on us.
