Don Winslow just released a devastating video about who we used to be: a country that argued fiercely, then came together. Don made this in spite of violent threats on his life. And DON'T MISS the ending.

Watch it.

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!

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that RFK Jr, the head of HHS, should resign in disgrace for not knowing the baby is not "in her placenta," and if trump had any brains, he'd be embarrassed too.

BREAKING: Hero fighter pilot Amy McGrath goes viral with a BRUTAL takedown of Donald Trump and MAGA Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after their deranged speech to American generals.

This is what a REAL soldier sounds like...

"Pete Hegseth still has a lot to learn, I think, unfortunately. When I flew my combat missions, there was not a set male standard and a female standard for flying an aircraft onto the back of an aircraft carrier. You can either do it or you can't," McGrath told CNN.

"And so I feel like it's the notion of standing up there and saying to the generals and admirals who all, by the way, know that there were never separate combat standards for males and females, you know, combat jobs have had one standard for a long time," she continued. "And part of when we opened combat jobs to women, those of us who were in those jobs wanted one standard to be set. And it was."

During Hegseth's widely condemned speech, he ranted about ending "woke" efforts in the military, firing "fat" soldiers and leaders, and imposing "male standards" on all troops. The entire event proved to be a total waste of time, yet another case of a MAGA official prioritizing pointless PR over actual policy. These generals were forced to fly in to hear a former Fox News host play-act as a "war fighter" when they should have been at their post overseas, keeping American safe.

"So I think it's kind of ridiculous but honestly, that in comparison to the rest of what we heard in the last hour is really minor," McGrath added. "That speech was bonkers by the president, and everybody sitting in that room knows that we don't have a coherent foreign policy or defense policy. And that, I think, is a bigger issue indeed."

During her CNN appearance, she dug into Trump's remarks—

"There was a lot of rambling. There was a ton of lies. There was a lot of politicization as was just mentioned and some of the craziness that you heard from this speech," McGrath said. "But the scariest part was when the president talked about using the military and using our cities as a training ground for the United States military."

In a separate post on X, McGrath shredded Hegseth some more.

"This morning’s grandstanding at Quantico only solidified what we already know: @PeteHegseth
continues to disparage and lie about women in the military," she wrote. "He claimed the military needs to 'return to the male standard' in combat jobs (of 1990!), but here’s the truth: there has never been a separate male and female standard. When women entered combat roles, one standard was set, and we’ve been meeting it ever since. You can either do the job or you can’t. Period."

Well said!

Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Amy McGrath would make a far better Secretary of Defense!

Clark: Mike Johnson and Steve Scalise are both from Louisiana. Most children in Louisiana are on medicaid. 64% of all births in Louisiana are paid for by medicaid. 74% of nursing home residents in Louisiana are on medicaid. Yet Republicans are willing to shut down government, refusing to even show up for work this week because they want to cut medicaid by $1 trillion
