Americans paid the price and received ZERO REFUNDS.

Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund check. Amazon got $600 million.: Walmart got $10 Billion. So basically they got to raise all the prices then cash in?

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

A 30 foot wall around Alabama? Wouldn’t that keep out all the Blue state money it takes to survive? By the way, where were you for this interview? At your home in Florida?

Whenever you read a hot take from Politico that casts Dems in an unflattering light, remind yourself that the owner asked the executives to pray for Donald Trump’s reelection. It’s propaganda.

Former congressman George Santos has been fined $35,000 by the CFTC for attempting to place bets on his State of the Union attendance in February and has been banned from Kalshi for 3 years. Let's keep holding former and current officials accountable.

George Santos got busted for manipulating political betting markets—and seems to have little remorse

"Touché bitches lets see who wins!"

Blue cities are hell holes though.

I think I have more Capital One accounts in good standing than the Trump Organization. I definitely pay more in taxes. Do I get audit immunity or nah?

Federal prosecutors just dropped charges against 3 MORE defendants who were falsely accused of damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool www.cbsnews.com/news/lincoln...

Transportation secretary Sean Duffy benefited from millions in corporate donations to make a show about road trips. But two months after Duffy said the show would premiere, it doesn't appear to exist at all. My latest False Flag @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/what-the-h...

What the Hell Happened to Sean Duffy’s Road-Trip TV Show?

Three months after it was announced, the secretary of transportation’s summer show—funded by companies he regulates—hasn’t aired a single episode.

Yet another MAGA sycophant who thought they were untouchable, and is now learning Trump has no loyalty to anyone. Yet, she'll still tow the line and kiss his ass. These people are so pathetic.

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

If his psychotic supporters were willing to commit crimes for free, what do you think they will be willing to do for a paycheck? Hint: Take a look at ICE

We can't afford to buy food but he wants to reward the January Sixers with gobs of money? Just before midterms? Hmmm Money for guns bullets and arms? You betcha ! youtu.be/8KBxqeqc6O4?...

It appears Trump was willing to throw the Jan. 6 defendants under the bus while preserving his own IRS immunity deal. Read the fine print. 2/2

BASH: I want you to use your bully pulpit to tells parents who have not vaccinated their kids that they should vaccine their kids for measles. Will you do that? Look into the camera RFK Jr: I'll say it right now. Parents should get their children vaccinated for measles.

The man endorsed by Sarah Huckabeast in this video is Arkansas state Rep. Austin McCollum. McCollum was arrested today on charges of aggravated assault against a family or household member, first-degree false imprisonment, and third-degree domestic battery. www.nwaonline.com/news/2026/au...

America’s legal system To practice law: —4 year degree, LSAT, 3 year JD, pass BAR, buy malpractice insurance, total cost ~$300K To enforce law: —Here’s paid 13-week training & a gun To write law: —0 qualifications needed, a billionaire can buy your seat Vote only for people funded by people.❤️✊🏽

If the people hiding Mitch McConnell wanted to quiet the doubt, they would have put him on video. You know, moving pictures.

I have zero respect for the American Bar Association at this point. When nothing is done to those with law degrees who blatantly and openly corrupt those laws for political gain, I don’t understand the point of their existence.

A Texas letter carrier collapsed and died on his route Monday during an extreme heat warning. The next day, Republicans on the Education and Labor Committee voted to permanently block a rule guaranteeing workers water breaks and shade in dangerous heat. Working shouldn't be a death sentence.

Texas USPS worker dies after collapsing during extreme heat, sparking scrutiny

While it's unclear whether Thakkar's death was directly related to the triple-digit heat that day, neighbors told local media they believe the extreme temperatures may have played a role.

I remember when Bill Clinton met with the Attorney General for three minutes when Hillary was being investigated for mishandling classified information, and the republicans cried bloody murder. Now, the AG nominee is covering for pedophiles and that seems okay. WHAT THE FUCK?

The owner of Atlantic Industrial Coatings, the company that effed up the Reflecting Pool repair, KNEW all along that they’d effed it up but said NOTHING as the Federal Government terrorized citizens who pointed out the shoddy work. Sue him into oblivion!

The Pentagon is moving towards restoring as many as half of the roles that Hegseth cut during a "pugnacious" purge at DoD. Hegseth's downsizing included the firing or reassignment of staff dedicated to avoiding civilian casualties in war. www.rawstory.com/pete-hegseth...

They lied about the whole thing and now admit the contractor screwed up the Reflecting Pool installation. And because they were in a rush to indict to please Trump, they presented false evidence to a grand jury. meidasnews.com/news/doj-see...

DOJ Seeks to Dismiss Charges Against Olympian It Indicted for "Vandalizing" the Lincoln Memorial.

MORE: Trump's DOJ admitted in court filings that the damage to the Reflecting Pool was the result of a "flawed installation by the contractor” as well as "the rush to complete the project prior to events associated with the America 250 celebration."

Reuters: US JUSTICE DEPARTMENT MOVES TO DROP CASE AGAINST FORMER OLYMPIAN ACCUSED OF VANDALIZING WASHINGTON REFLECTING POOL -COURT FILING

Still insane that the reason masking became a partisan issue is the president didn’t want to mess up his make up.

There are credible reports that Iran orchestrated a cyberattack on Minnesota’s water systems, and Trump is blaming Tim Walz. What a fucking traitor.

Can someone explain how Axios could publish this and not note that DOJ has lost 18 of these cases and not won a single one? 0-18 is smart brevity.
