Thank you Senator Chris Murphy for taking charge and voicing strong opposition to the GOP budget plan and forcing Senators’ opinions be recorded for all to see.
If tariffs are so great, then businesses shouldn’t hesitate to show exactly how those costs are baked into the prices we pay. Of course, Bezos backed off when the White House pushed back. Others should step up, be honest with consumers & show the true cost of tariffs. We deserve transparency.
The new American Dream: Pay $500K to the government and skip the line. This administration has officially launched an “Executive Branch” for the ultra-wealthy, while the rest of us get our services slashed and our rights stripped. This isn’t leadership, it’s legalized looting!

So much for the U.S. Constitution. We officially have transitioned to a dictatorship.
The Supreme Court must aggressively and immediately enforce its order to the President: facilitate the return of Kilmer Abrego García to the US.
Farmers have taken a hit under Trump’s policies. His trade war and massive tariffs on U.S. crops, labor shortages due to migrant expulsion, withdrawal from trade agreements, and his cuts to USDA programs have all played a roll in this. Votes have consequences, especially for rural America.
Trump’s tariffs are hitting farmers hard — in ways you might not expect. This honey farmer voted for Trump 3X — now costs are through the roof, hiring’s frozen, and he’s lost $150K in government contracts. Asked if he regrets his 2024 vote? “Perhaps I should’ve considered other options.” NO SHIT!
This cracked me up. I wonder if any of the MAGA sheep ever bothered to look. Such hypocrisy. youtube.com/shorts/00Cav...

A HUGE victory tonight!!! Congratulations to the Honorable Susan Crawford and to the voters of Wisconsin 🎉🇺🇸💪🏼
1st time since 2008 (and only the 2nd time ever) that all #1 seeds advance to the semifinals. All brackets have been busted! Who’re you cheering on to the finals?
Some good news…Illinois has returned 1,500 acres of land to the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. The transfer signifies a meaningful step in the Land Back movement, honoring the enduring connection between the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation and their ancestral homeland.
Every vote counts Wisconsin! #VoteforJudgeSusanCrawford
Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin. You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰 #VoteForJudgeSusanCrawford 🗳️ ✅ 👍 This is super important.

Chief Justice Roberts should’ve thought twice before handing expansive power to the executive branch. Now that it’s seeping into the judiciary, he’s not so pleased. Wait until it affects everyday Americans. Little by little, those rights are slipping away, but most won’t notice until it’s too late.
