BREAKING: Trump is imposing a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico starting Feb 1.
Canada supplies the U.S. with key goods like maple syrup, lumber, aluminum, oil, and paper products, while Mexico is a major source of fresh produce, dairy, cars, and medicines.
The result? Expect higher prices at the grocery store, gas pump, and hardware store. Cars, appliances, and even homes will cost more as building materials like lumber and aluminum skyrocket.
Tariffs don’t punish other countries—they hit American consumers the hardest. Families will pay more for essentials while inflation is already a concern.
This reckless move will hurt your wallet, not theirs.
Biden's entire cabinet is worth a paltry $118 million.
Trump's cabinet a combined wealth, at $340 billion. So far.
That's greater than the entire GDP of New Zealand.
Happy New Year, all you MAGA suckers. You're about to find out who the real con is.
Elon and @GregAbbott_TX’s plan for Texas - in 3 screenshots. Tesla lays off 2,688 Texas employees immediately following having 2,639 H1B visas approved (2022/2023).
Let’s not forget that Abbott begged him to come here, offering him tax breaks to do so, while keeping our property taxes astronomically high - literally taxing seniors out of their homes.
Are you paying attention yet? Follow the money.
End Citizens United now. Billionaires don’t care about us.

Kris Kristofferson died yesterday at 88.
A surprising number of folks don't know that as a young man, he was an Army officer, a helicopter pilot, and a graduate of Ranger School.
He understood patriotism and service, which is why it pissed him off when fake patriots co-opted the flag to push their rightwing bullshit.
The actor Ethan Hawke once wrote a profile on him, which included witnessing this incident firsthand:
STANDING BACKSTAGE AT THE BEACON Theatre in New York, leaning against a crumbling brick wall in the dark, I could barely see Kris Kristofferson standing to my left. Willie Nelson was in the shadows to my right. Ray Charles was standing beside Willie, idly shifting his weight back and forth. A bit farther along the wall were Elvis Costello, Wyclef Jean, Norah Jones, Shelby Lynne, Paul Simon and respective managers, friends and family. Everybody was nervous and tight. We were there for Willie Nelson’s 70th birthday concert in 2003.
Up from the basement came one of country music’s brightest stars (who shall remain nameless). At that moment in time, the Star had a monster radio hit about bombing America’s enemies back into the Stone Age.
“Happy birthday,” the Star said to Willie, breezing by us. As he passed Kristofferson in one long, confident stride, out of the corner of his mouth came “None of that lefty shit out there tonight, Kris.”
“What the luck did you just say to me?” Kris growled, stepping forward.
“Oh, no,” groaned Willie under his breath. “Don’t get Kris all riled up.”
“You heard me,” the Star said, walking away in the darkness.
“Don’t turn your back to me boy,” Kristofferson shouted, not giving a shit that basically the entire music industry seemed to be flanking him.
The Star turned around: “I don’t want any problems, Kris – I just want you to tone it down.”
“You ever worn your country’s uniform?” Kris asked rhetorically.
“What?”
“Don’t ‘What?’ me, boy! You heard the question. You just don’t like the answer.” He paused just long enough to get a full chest of air. “I asked, ‘Have you ever served your country?’ The answer is, no, you have not. Have you ever killed another man? Huh? Have you ever taken another man’s life and then cashed the check your country gave you for doing it? No, you have not. So shut the fuck up!” I could feel his body pulsing with anger next to me. “You don’t know what the hell you are talking about!”
“Whatever,” the young Star muttered.
Ray Charles stood motionless. Willie Nelson looked at me and shrugged mischievously like a kid in the back of the classroom.
Kristofferson took a deep inhale and leaned against the wall, still vibrating with adrenaline. He looked over at Willie as if to say, “Don’t say a word.” Then his eyes found me.
“You know what Waylon Jennings said about guys like him?” he whispered.
I shook my head.
“They’re doin’ to country music what pantyhose did to finger-fuckin’.”

According to a LA Times investigation, (illegal immigrant) Musk's companies had received an estimated $4.9 billion in government support by 2015, and they've gotten more since.
🚨Trump may be back on this platform, but he still has @VoteVets blocked. The voice of 1.5M military Veterans, families, and supporters will NOT be silenced.
Not now. Not ever.
Predictably, trump is complaining about immigration, after he interfered with Congress on the passage of the bill that would have addressed it.
And he's lying about the crime rate, which is down in America but he's claiming it's up.
This lying motherfucker has the audacity to accuse Kamala Harris of lying. Unreal.
And Elmo is offering a friction-free interview, all softballs for a soft guy, for a BORING interview.
Total waste of time.
