āIf we buy 2 billion dollars worth of Bananas from Brazil, weāre actually losing 2 billion dollars. So if we stop eating bananas, we actually save 2 billion dollarsā.
Itās just simple Economics.

Thatās >$246 million per day, on average.

The next 24 hours will see staggering increases at the pump for both gasoline & diesel. Fuel margins have yet to catch up with previous wholesale hikes. Watch for huge increases in Great Lakes and Rocky Mountain states in particular.
Sen. @DickDurbin: Mr. Patel is the least qualified and most partisan FBI director in our nation's history. He created an enemies list he threatened to target. The FBI has been reshaped as a political weapon against Trump's political enemies

Juliana Stratton: People are struggling right now. But Trump knows that his agenda is so unpopular that he's trying to bribe people.

Racism has no place in Texas.
@KenPaxtonTX: will you condemn this blatant racism or will you cower to extremists?
