These people just keep shoving it right in our face, they sit around eating lobster while working class Americans count every dollar to just put food on the table. Trump’s Little Johnson (R-LA) needs to lose his speakership this November. Make a plan to vote and bring 5 friends.

Natalie Harp is the latest distraction for Donald Trump. He's forgotten about you because he has a new toy to play with. Watch Rick Wilson on MSNOW:

Wow! Trump slaps tariffs on damn near everything, then gives imported beef a tariff-free boost. I can’t imagine even farmers who voted for Trump are OK with this. They’re already struggling, and now they’re going to have to compete with 300K metric tons of imported beef.

JD Vance just told audience in Michigan that Abdul El-Sayed wants to impose religious law in the US. Vance is obviously confused. Abdul is Muslim, he's not a Republican! It's the GOP that has imposed religious law (GOP sharia law) in 13 states that totally ban abortion--not Muslims!
