Trump says pharma tariffs could eventually reach up to 250% Trump said he will initially impose a "small tariff" on pharmaceuticals, but then in a year to a year and a half, he will raise that rate to 150% and then 250%.

DT's threat to insanely increase the price of RX drugs through tariffs is a reminder: He doesn't give a f*ck about the working-class PATIENTS who rely on daily meds to survive! He must have had his wee fingers crossed behind his back when he promised to bring down costs.

Rwanda just signed a deal with the Trump regime to accept U.S. deporteesโ€”more like abducted humans.

This isnโ€™t โ€œresettlement.โ€ Itโ€™s a human rights disgrace.

The Rwandan government, notorious for silencing dissent and jailing critics, is now a dumping ground for Americaโ€™s asylum seekers.

I will be the first to say that joining the #gerrymandering movement makes me very, very queasy.

But I'll also admit that we are way, way, way, WAY past the "high road".

It isn't our morals that are on the line.

It's the future of our nation.

๐Ÿ”ฅ House Dems just subpoenaed the DOJ & 10 ex-officials to expose the full truth about Epstein & Maxwell.
No more cover-ups.

If DOJ misses the Aug. 19 deadline, itโ€™s war. This is about justice for survivorsโ€”& the powerful who thought they got away with it. Let the truth drop.
Let the chips fall.

A Let Them Eat Cake Moment #ABlueView๐Ÿงต1/2

Trump is building "a massive new $200M ballroom" for the White House just as working class & low-info voters are struggling with his tariff-created inflation & govt benefit cuts.

How should Dems capitalize on this?

This is a link to the House Oversight Committee. It's a cast of "characters." They must be reminded this is an American issue, not a party issue. Keep the heat on Rep. Comer and the entire committee. SC has a couple on the committee that shocked me! Mace and Timmons!
