@fkubluehouse he started the 2.0 shirtless trend!

Whether he's pardoning men who smuggled 400 tons of cocaine into the United States, men who defrauded Medicare for billions, or men who were convicted of insider trading, Trump has made a mockery of the presidential pardon, and future laws will have to change because of him.

'Vacations.'

The word is 'vacations.'

@SkinnerPm That's exactly what is reminds me of! Political officers making the decisions, overriding experts. It is a recipe for failure both short and long-term.

266,000 jobs under Biden:
“slowed”
“muddled expectations”
“fell short”

172,000 jobs under trump:
“upswing”
“vigorous”
“strong sign for economy”

This is the double standard Dems have had to deal with for the past 10 years.

The closure of @USAID by 20-something DOGE bros (who probably thought "screwworm" was a hilarious joke) will haunt us for years to come.

[Patrick Skinner @SkinnerPm]

There are no checks and balances. Even after the fake harrumph about the blatantly illegal president slush fund, the senate kept it in. And also a blank 70 billion dollar check to an unrestrained militarized immigration scam complex.
There are no checks and balances. None

California voters banned gestation crates in 2018. Sixty-three percent. Massachusetts did it in 2016. Seventy-eight percent. The pork industry sued both times and lost all the way to the Supreme Court.

So they did what you do when democracy keeps saying no. They added a provision to the House farm bill to nullify both state laws and preempt any future state effort to do the same thing. One industry. One provision. Millions of votes erased.

The largest pork producer in America is Smithfield. Smithfield is owned by a Chinese company. Congress just passed a House farm bill that overrides the will of American voters in order to protect a Chinese corporation's right to confine pregnant pigs in cages too small to turn around for their entire lives.

This is not a close call on the merits. Eighty-four percent of Americans in polling called that practice unacceptable. Tomi Lahren called the Save Our Bacon provision unprintable things. Mike Cernovich called it demonic. When an industry loses the argument with 84 percent of the public, loses in court, loses at the ballot box twice, and still wins in Congress... that is not democracy. That is a purchasing decision.

The Senate still has a vote. The conference committee still has a choice. The question is whether Congress works for the American electorate or for the National Pork Producers Council and the Chinese company that owns Smithfield.

🚨 Juan Orlando Hernández was convicted of smuggling more than 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

Trump gave him a full pardon.

@AudrieOT7 I was sad the spinning army bomb figure sold out. Even though I don't need it at all. If they restock I will try again lol.

[hellmouse @hellmouse]

@washingtonpost yet they still say they are "pro life". SMH.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

As grocery prices continue to rise nationally, the House passed an appropriations bill that would cut $141 million in funding for a program that helps pregnant women and children purchase healthy foods. https://t.co/NJ8vGuBc0P

We’re all supposed to pretend this isn’t happening a lot?

How does this make us look to the rest of the world?

ICE should have to report every death or injury that occurs in proximity to its custody. Full stop. https://t.co/cD0N3Whw2E

DOGE didn't make a dent in the deficit, but it did bring back screwworm and enable a historically large new Ebola outbreak, so it's not like they didn't achieve *anything*

[Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs) @agraybee]

From 1966 to 2025 we dropped sterile flies over South America that ate screwworm and thus prevented them from spreading, but the le epic efficient cracked coders at DOGE thought this was a silly waste of the ~0 dollars it cost us.
