The Trump administration spending ledger:

✅ $40 billion for Argentina
✅ $230 million for Trump's grievances against the Department of Justice
✅ $300 million for a golden ballroom
❌ $0 to save 42 million Americans from hunger
❌ $0 to stop your health care costs from going up 30%

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Trump's approval rating on the economy takes hit because of shutdown, inflation, CNBC survey finds Americans' views on the economy turned more negative in the third quarter with deepening concerns about jobs, inflation and the outlook.

A new poll shows Americans blame Trump and Republicans over Democrats for the shutdown 53%-37%. (Independents blame Trump by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, 58%-21%.).

People aren’t dumb.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Trump’s tax cut for billionaires is adding $425 Billion - monthly - to the national debt, and we’re fighting amongst ourselves for scraps.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 72 of the last 84 days.

Epstein Shutdown.

What the fuck are we doing?

It looks like she's on the passenger side and they take the driver out at the end??

I’m mildly surprised that Republican voters and America Firsters have bought Scott Bessent’s bullshit that American taxpayers aren’t shipping billions to Argentina to bail out the massive personal investments of Bessent’s friends. I guess loyalty to these crooks takes precedent.

Zee

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money.

Let that sink in

Apart from Trump and the Republicans’ actions the last weeks and months, how do we know this government shutdown is their fault, not the Democrats?

Because it’s the first in history when one party controls the presidency and both houses of Congress. The lunatics run the asylum.

If republicans think it’s crucial to keep the government open, they can keep it open without a single democrat. They can change the filibuster rules with a simple majority in the senate. It’s all up to them.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.

Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

They want to scare us away from fighting for equality, healthcare, education, climate action, fair wages, housing, and justice.

They want to silence dissent to entrench their fascist billionaire agenda.

Don’t let them.

The administration is scrubbing hate crime data in real time.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination was horrific.

That doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of gun (and political) violence has been perpetuated by right wingers.

You don’t get to change the narrative at will.

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath.

Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history.

So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

My thoughts on this dark day.

1/ The beating heart of a free society is the ability for citizens to engage in political life with no fear of violence. Once we lose this freedom, few will step forward, and our entire democratic experiment unwinds into chaos and recrimination.

Trump’s tariffs aren’t helping U.S. manufacturing — they’re crushing it.

Factories are being forced to spend more on materials, then passing those costs onto consumers.

We’re losing manufacturing jobs & seeing prices go up, all for nothing. www.bbc.com/news/article...

New high of Americans saying immigration is good for the US

Veterans against Trump marched again today in DC - let’s go!!

The fledgling growth of domestic manufacturing that had created more than 610,000 manufacturing jobs during the Biden administration and laid the groundwork for many more has “basically collapsed,” said Todd Tucker, director of industrial policy and trade at the Roosevelt Institute, a Washington-based, left-leaning think tank. In fact, Trump was so dissatisfied with the weak July jobs report — which showed that the U.S. manufacturing sector had lost 37,000 jobs over three straight months — that he fired the director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics in early August, alleging on his social media platform Truth Social that the less-than-stellar job numbers were “RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad.”

Manufacturing was gaining ground under Biden, with 610k new jobs.

As @toddntucker.com puts it, under Trump, tariffs and policy whiplash have “basically collapsed” that growth. michiganadvance.com/2025/09/01/l...
