BREAKING: Los Angeles County has just declared a STATE OF EMERGENCY over the federal ICE raids.

Think about that. The county is literally declaring an emergency over what the federal government is doing.

This is Trump‘s America.

Join me in saying thank you to the media orgs that refused to sign Hegseth’s censorship ultimatum. Tomorrow these outlets will be forced to pack up their things and vacate the Pentagon, leaving only one (OAN) in the briefing room. We need courage to stand up for our Constitution.

BREAKING: Goldman Sachs kicks Donald Trump hard in the teeth with a new report that exposes his huge lie that foreign countries are paying his tariffs — when reality it's American consumers.

Show this to every MAGA dead-ender you know...

According to the bombshell analysis, U.S. consumers are already paying 55% of the tariff costs just six months into their implementation. Trump and his minions have repeatedly claimed, despite pushback from economic experts, that other countries would simply "eat" the tariffs. We now see beyond a shadow of a doubt that that is not the case.

Since April when Trump first announced his harebrained tariffs, consumer prices have steadily increased every month, eating into the wages and savings of American workers via inflation. As if that weren't bad enough, some companies may have been using pre-tariff inventories to keep prices artificially low. As those stockpiles run out, they'll be forced to raise prices to offset the tariffs.

Goldman Sachs also predicted that costs will likely rise even higher now that Trump is considering another wave of disastrous tariffs. True to ignorant form, he refuses to look at the effects of his policies or to reconsider his prior economic assumptions. There is no scenario in which this man admits that he was wrong.

The analysis estimates that the Trump tariffs have added a whopping 0.44% to the Fed's preferred inflation measure, a staggering increase when considered in the total scope of the U.S. economy. Hard working Americans are getting hammered. If Trump follows through on threats to tariff furniture and kitchen products, that number could rise to 0.6%. If that happens, consumers will bear 70% of the tariffs' cost.

Meanwhile, Trump's family is raking in massive amounts of money from corrupt business deals while the president himself accepts outright bribes, most blatantly in the form of a $400 million jet from Qatar. Americans are getting poorer while Trump reaches obscene new heights of wealth.

Please retweet and ❤️ to demand an immediate end to the tariffs!

And there it is. Someone actually in the room admits Netanyahu sabotaged the same deal last year because he didn't want to give Joe Biden a win.

How many lives were spent to give Trump this gift?

Joe Biden had a peace deal in place, but then Netanyahu and Trump met in Mar-a-Lago and decided that keeping the war going would benefit them both.

Ten months later, they’re signing the exact deal Biden brokered.

Friendly reminder that Christopher Columbus didn’t discover anything, he just got lost and then enslaved and murdered a bunch of people before taking their land, so now you can’t go to the bank today.

Dear @NBCNews , @CNN , @MSNBC , @CBSNews , @ABC etc

PAY ATTENTION.

This is how you handle somebody who comes onto your show and lies to YOU and America.

You don’t let them continue to lie, you shut them the fuck off.

More of this followed by actual journalism, and your numbers will go through the roof.

Guaranteed.

Now do your fucking jobs.

[Disinformation Destroyer @DisinfoIsBad]

Joe Biden literally secured a ceasefire before he left office. There was a ceasefire in place when Trump took office that was supposed to be the period where a permanent ceasefire was negotiated. Instead Trump let the ceasefire expire without any serious attempt at peace negotiations, and then he allowed Netanyahu push Gaza to the brink of starvation with a multi-month full aid blockade.

I am happy, without reservations or qualifications, that there is a ceasefire now and I sincerely hope that both sides adhere to it and this nightmare of a war is finally over. But I refuse to allow history to be rewritten.

George W. Bush spoke fluent Spanish and gave weekly radio addresses in the language. He understood words don’t define being American. Two decades later, MAGA calls Bad Bunny “anti-American” for singing in Spanish and wonders why everyone thinks they’re bigots.

71% of immigrants detained by ICE have zero criminal convictions.

But that’s not stopping private prisons from cashing in on the Trump Administration’s xenophobia – despite their history of horrific treatment of immigrants.

This is an emergency. In a month, health premiums are going to go up by 75%, ruining families' lives. What's happening in Chicago, where people's rights are being obliterated, is an emergency. What the FCC is doing - censoring our political speech - is an emergency.

"The only ones left in charge at the DOJ are Trump operatives who will do anything that the boss asks, no matter how illegal or unconstitutional. This is the essence of authoritarianism."
