When Trump and Republicans want to talk about stopping fraud, they should look in the mirror.

$1 billion per day for war on Iran.
No reason to attack.
No goals.

It's not nukes.
It's not oil.
It's not regime change.

Trump says it will last as long as he wants.
He'll pick Iran's next leaders.
And Cuba is next.

This is a war for conquest.
CONQUEST

A New York Times analysis shows the stunning velocity at which the fortunes of the 1 percent have increased across the country since
President Trump first took office in 2017. The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120 percent between 2017 and 2025, a colossal leap from the 45 percent growth they had seen over the previous nine years.
The number of U.S. billionaires jumped 50 percent by some estimates between 2017 and 2025, to more than 900 people. The minting of dozens of new billionaires occurred in the immediate wake of the 2017 tax cuts championed by Mr. Trump at the beginning of his first term, the nation's biggest tax overhaul since 1986. The legislation, which slashed personal income taxes and doubled the estate tax exemption, was billed by Mr. Trump as "tax cuts for American families." But the Times analysis, backed up by a range of new studies, shows that it disproportionately benefited wealthier taxpayers.
Most important, it cut the corporate tax rate and laid the groundwork for a surge in stock prices
- creating a phenomenal accretion of wealth.
The coronavirus pandemic intensified the dynamic. Tech prices soared as employees geared up to work at home and inflation tripled, weighing on the middle class and devastating the poor.
While the rich have been getting richer at a fairly steady pace over the years, the analysis shows that the net worths of those who were already billionaires experienced a pronounced shift after the tax cuts were signed into law, growing by 49 percent over eight years.

This is what happens when money becomes speech: billionaires are so loud they drown out the rest of us — and it’s destroying our country. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/u...

Trump is throwing away a billion taxpayer dollars a day on another war in the Middle East.

All while cutting funding for health care, SNAP, and children’s cancer research.

DANGER ⚠️ DANGER

Pro-Trump lawyers are circulating a draft executive order.

The bogus claim: China interfered in 2020 and justifies a national emergency declaration that would give Trump sweeping power over U.S. elections.

But I don't want to mischaracterize your position; so
that's why I'm saying it back to you, to make sure.
Is your position that the Government can decide right
now that someone who is in their custody is getting deported to
a third country, give them no notice and no opportunity to say, I will be killed the moment I arrive there, and, as long as the
Department doesn't already know that there's someone standing there waiting to shoot him, that that's fine?
MS. LARAKERS: In short, yes.
THE COURT: Okay.

Dani is a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse.

She’s here today as my guest to attend the State of the Union because even after everything she endured, she is still fighting—not just for herself but for every survivor who was silenced, ignored, and dismissed.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“He certainly shouldn’t have been carrying a gun. I don’t like that he had a gun,” Trump says about Alex Pretti.

“I don’t fucking care that they have guns, they’re not here to hurt me… Let them in,” Trump said on J6.

Get it? 2A is only for those who support him and his tyrannical regime.

You are now about 25 times more likely to be killed by an ICE agent in MN than an undocumented immigrant.

The safest thing would be for ICE to deport themselves from Minnesota.

Finding childcare was already a challenge for Minnesota families. Republicans and their MAGA tactics are making it much harder and putting little kids in harms way.

It’s sickening.

Red background, all caps title: Statement on Donald Trump spreading lies about the assassination of Melissa Hortman. 

Body text: “This is soulless. The man charged with killing Melissa and Mark Hortman, shooting John and Yvette Hoffman, and targeting dozens more Minnesota Democrats, was known to traffic in exactly the kind of conspiracy theory Donald Trump just endorsed. Lying about the assassinations of the Hortmans puts people in danger and fans the flames of political violence. 
 
Every Minnesota Republican should speak out with the truth against disgusting, dangerous lies, and condemn Donald Trump for again mocking tragedy and hurting people already suffering. This is beneath his office and our country, and a thousand miles beneath the dignity of Melissa Hortman.”

Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy

This evening, President Trump shared a video on his Truth Social platform, which spread lies about the assassination of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman.
