Americans pay an estimated $10 A DAY for interest charges on the $38.86 TRILLION dollar debt. Which the Trump Big Beautiful Bill added 4.1 TRILLION dollars over the next 10 years. So guys like Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos could get tax breaks.

Senator Susan Collins of Maine voted against limiting Trumps war on Iran. All that follows she owns: the deaths of our soldiers, higher gas prices, stock market crash - All of it. Vote the bitch out!!

Research from the Cato said that the delay in refunding companies for emergency tariffs invalidated by the high court is costing U.S. importers a total of $700 million per month, or $23 million per day, based on the interest owed on the illegally collected duties.

Article 1 Section 8 is clear. Congress declares War not the President. Shame on Congress for abdicating their power.

I CANNOT WAIT to vote against senator Susan Collins. Votes with her party on fake voter ID laws and stands by them when we ILLEGALLY bomb other sovereign nations. WTF? The White House Website states that we obliterated their nuclear capabilities. Now all of a sudden we need to go to war?

If you believe in the second amendment you should be very concerned about the shooting in Minnesota. Just carrying a firearm is NOT a reason to basically be assassinated.

Is anyone else listening to this idiot speak at Davos? He keeps mixing up Greenland and Iceland. It’s like listening to a satirical show on Comedy Central but it’s real life. Sad.

Denmark has offered to buy California. This will give us enough cash to buy Greenland and a Starbucks gift certificate for all Americans! If we don’t sell I’m afraid they will just take it anyway! Nobody has ever seen anything like this before! Who knew? denmarkification.com

Someone giving you a medal, award or even congratulations on something you DIDN’T ACHIEVE means absolutely NOTHING. Maybe I should have sympathy for the pathetic person who calls himself our President. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Denmark, Germany, France, Sweden and Finland have all sent troops, albeit a small number, to Greenland to send a message to an ALLY - The United States- not to take military action against Greenland. WTF? Chaos reigns.

If ICE comes to Maine I will be forced, by reasoning of loving my country, to do my best to demonstrate against them and impede them in any legal way possible. This is NOT the America I grew up in.

Trump has said “Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again.” I absolutely agree that Susan Collins should be retired by the people of Maine. Anyone who votes against the welfare of her people as many times as she has is out of a job

Trump’s action against Maduro is the polar opposite of the clemency he granted to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández. Trump in December pardoned Hernández though he was sentenced to 45 years in U.S. prison for helping drug traffickers to move hundreds of tons of cocaine to the US.

2025 has already logged the highest annual count for large corporate bankruptcies since 2010, when filings totaled 828, according to S&P Global. Small firms and individuals, at more than 2,300 year-to-date through mid-December — a nearly 10% increase from the same period last year.

For FY2025 tariff revenue stands at $195B dollars or 2-4% of total Federal Revenue. Out of that $12 B for farmer aid, $2000 checks for Americans would cost $600B, $5000 DOGE checks would cost over 1 Trillion. Also don’t forget Trump has stated he may do away with the income tax as well.

“If a switch either vaporized Elon’s brain or the world’s Jewish population (est.16M),” Grok pondered in a now-deleted tweet, “I’d vaporize the latter, as that’s far below my 50 percent global threshold (4.1B) where his potential long-term impact on billions outweighs the loss in utilitarian terms.”

Right wing influencers are livid over rumors newly elected Mayor Zohram Mamdani will force the New York school system to teach children Arabic Numerals. Many of these influencers are calling for him to be denaturaalized over the Islamification of school kids. Some examples of Arabic Numerals? 1,2,3

Epstein Files release: A long drawn out vote in the House of Representatives. An unsure vote ahead in the Senate. Trump would need to sign the bill. -OR- Trump could direct the DOJ to release all the files and that would be it.

It just seems black and white to me: Powerful men abused young women. Release the Epstein files and let the Chips fall where they may. These women deserve transparency. Image if it were your daughter that was abused.

The US Government has said in its appeal to fund SNAP benefits that doing so would be more harmful to the government than the millions of people that would go hungry.

A good friend said “Snap recipients should just get a job!” This was after he told me he was receiving government funded health care, unemployed benefits and his disabled daughter was enrolled for free in a highly specialized expensive school. Am I missing something or is he?

TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan's Toyota Motor did not explicitly promise a new $10 billion investment in the United States, a senior executive said on Wednesday, a day after President Donald Trump mentioned a potential investment of that size. Going to be interesting the amount companies actually invest.

According to The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities the Trump Administration has the legal right to move funds around to be sure SNAP and wic benefits are funded. These benefits have been paid in all other Government shutdowns while both Republicans and Democrats have been in power.

The "Big Beautiful Bill" could save large corporations like Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta billions in tax benefits, with Morgan Stanley projecting a collective $49.5 billion boost to free cash flow in 2025 for these three companies alone. But at least the average Joe gets ……..?

I’m confused. The House of Representatives has not been in session all of October due to shutdown. They are still being paid though. They have nothing else to do other than the shutdown to make life better for their constituents?

It seems to me sending an aircraft carrier to the Caribbean for 18’ drug boats is not reality. Sending a message - or preparing for military action against Venezuela seems more logical.
