Proud of big brother and nephew! Two outstanding men. One I've looked up to for 48 years, the other I've watched grow up into the leader and great man like his dad for 24 years. Love you both! @Coach_Strick_

.@SpeakerJohnson Mike, you just stood on stage and lied to working families for 5 straight minutes.

You said Republicans inherited "record-high inflation."

They did not. Inflation was 3.0% when Trump returned, not the 9.1% peak from June 2022 that Johnson dishonestly pretends Biden handed him on Inauguration Day. It is now 3.4%.

You said Republicans gave us the "lowest violent crime rate in 126 years."

No. He took a historic drop in the murder rate and falsely called it the violent-crime rate. Violent crime had already fallen to 362.9 per 100,000 people in Biden's final year. The decline continued on the same trajectory. None of their policies have helped with that.

You said you delivered the "largest middle-class tax cut in history."

No. By GDP, their tax law is the sixth largest, not the largest. Almost all of it went to the top. And they helped pay for those tax cuts by cutting Medicaid and food assistance, while preserving more than $1 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy that do not expire.

You said "no tax on tips," "no tax on overtime," and "no tax on Social Security."

Also false. Those are temporary, capped deductions through 2028, not the abolition of taxes he is selling you. The bigger tax cuts for the wealthy do not expire. Plus all that small cut wouldn't even cover the cost of gas increase for a month.

This was a bone thrown at working people, and he knows it.

You bragged about prescription-drug prices falling.

Biden's Medicare drug-negotiation law, generic competition, and biosimilars are major factors. And a price-index decline does not necessarily mean your out-of-pocket cost at the pharmacy went down. TrumpRx is basically a coupon site. Some drugs are cheaper through GoodRx.

You said they created more than a million private-sector jobs.

Jobs are still growing, but hiring has slowed dramatically: about 9,700 jobs per month last year, the weakest pace outside a recession since 2002. Biden's final two years averaged 166,000 jobs a month, much higher than now.

You says Democrats will "explode the debt."

That is a lie. The national debt has passed $40 trillion. Trump alone is responsible for roughly one-quarter of all debt added by U.S. presidents, with nothing to show working families except higher prices and broken promises.

Meanwhile, Republicans are handing out tax breaks, cutting healthcare and food help to cover part of the cost.

That is their entire playbook:

LIES
Take credit for stuff they did not create.
Hide who actually pays.
Call temporary deductions "historic relief."
Call cuts to healthcare and food "waste."
Blame immigrants.
Blame Democrats.

Then tell you not to believe your electric bill, grocery bill, rent, pharmacy bill, or empty bank account.

This ain't "common sense." It's a con man behind a podium thinking American people are too dum"b" to call him out.

By David Abbruzzes:

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

Very well stated.

Everyone needs to listen to what this man has to say about Trump because it’s all true. Straight up FACTS. 👇👇

[Shawn Harris for Congress @ShawnForGeorgia]

We're not editing this clip.

Just watch it.

15,000 farms lost. $28 billion in farmer losses. Diesel prices nearly doubled. Fertilizer costs soaring. Family farmers struggling to stay afloat.

And the Trump administration's response? Deflect, deny, and blame someone else.

If you're not willing to own the problem, you can't solve the problem.

If this is their idea of a "golden age" for agriculture, I'd hate to see what they call a crisis.

Leadership Matters.

🚨NEW: Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura ripped into ICE after the Minneapolis killing.

He praised Roosevelt High School for keeping ICE off campus, called warrantless arrests unconstitutional, and said the shooting “did not have to happen.”

Ventura warned the U.S. is drifting toward authoritarianism, comparing federal agents policing cities to Third World dictatorships and urged Americans to wake up before it’s too late.
