Just renewed a 90 day RX. It used to cost $131. Now after Trump’s announcement that he lowered prescription drug prices by a huge percentage, it cost me $131.

Thanks for nothing, Don.

Impact of tariffs:

In January I looked at prices for a thin cotton bed spread. Lots of options in the $20 range.

Just looked again. Nothing less than $60.

Thanks, Trump!

Why did the GOP overturn the $5 cap on overdraft fees?

β€œthe Underground Railroad helped people escape states fighting for states rights.”

For the 1st ad, Trump told Secretary Noem: β€œI want you to thank me. I want you to thank me for closing the border.” She replied: β€œYes sir, I will thank you…”

So under Trump’s declaration of a national immigration emergency, he skipped competitive bidding & awarded a $200 million DHS ad campaign to 2 GOP-linked firms. The ads will laud Trump for his crackdown on immigration.

The grift continues in this swamp.

So now Trump is targeting individual businesses who provided services to people he doesn’t like: two Executive Orders seeking to array the federal government against two major law firms who represented his opponents.

WHOLLY UNAMERICAN! No President has ever taken such action.

He’s tanking our economy & devastating government services to give $4.5T in tax cuts to the rich. Bringing the USA into disrepute internat’ly while starting fights with Canada & Mexico (violating his own NAFTA treaty), abandoning Ukraine & cozying up to Putin. Are we great yet?

The share of Americans employed by the government steeply dropped in the decades leading up to 2000, and has remained essentially flat since. A bloating federal workforce is a myth.
