When Trump took office in 2025, the exchange rate was over 20 Mexican pesos to the US dollar. Today it slipped below 17 pesos to the dollar. Heck of a job, Donny. Is America Great Again, yet?

I'm so old, I can remember when the family in the White House inspired us to be better, instead of embarrassing us all around the world.

Social Security will continue to provide a safety net if we just raise the payroll tax cap. Instead, the billionaires take the money they're not paying into SS, and use it to buy more politicians. Arithmetic isn't hard.

Traveling soon? Lines at airports could move slower than usual. DHS is using all that Big Butt Ugly Bill money to continue to fund roving gangs of ICE thugs, rather than pay its TSA workers. GOP won't agree to split out new TSA funding from ICE million$. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

One month later, White House and Democrats no closer to ending the DHS shutdown
Republicans hope longer wait times at airports will be the pressure point Democrats need to drop their immigration enforcement demands. Democrats aren’t giving up their fight.

From Ron Filipkowski. … Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) responded: “Stop pretending Trump is playing some genius long game. He’s not. He’s a deeply insecure idiot and he’ll gladly blow up the world order and screw over the entire country if it makes him feel big for 5 minutes.” Truth from a Marine.

If ICE doesn't like being called the Gestapo, they should stop acting like the Gestapo. Calling them the Gestapo doesn't cause violence. ICE is the violence. Full stop.

There were people who didn't vote for her because she's a woman of color. There were people who didn't vote for her because she's a Democrat. There are people who just didn't vote. And it will take us decades to fix the damage to American democracy, if that's even possible. FIDO!

Trump operates with classic gangster logic: One voice gets silenced, and all the others get the message.
