Trump: "If we decided not to buy watches from Switzerland, they wouldn't be elite anymore and we would save about $40 billion"

I miss having a president. I mean a REAL president -- someone who works and lives the position. Someone who doesn't shame us but instead is always a person to respect and be proud of. Someone like Barack Obama.

In Trump's second term, Bezos has received... -Huge new tax cuts for himself and Amazon -Millions of dollars in new Blue Origin federal contracts -A slap-on-the wrist FTC settlement for Amazon -A gutted NLRB led by a union-busting lawyer No wonder he's been such a Trump sycophant.

If they’re admitting 81 planes, drones and helicopters worth $3.3 billion have been lost in Iran, imagine what they’re not telling us. The real cost is likely far higher, and our grandchildren will be paying for this unnecessary war and his reckless spending. www.businesstoday.in/amp/world/st...

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Keep in mind that the pain that businesses feel from high fuel costs are being passed on to consumers and as those fuel costs are operating expenses they can be deducted from the operators taxes. The same consideration does not apply to consumers paying the inflated prices for goods and fuel.

today, the fuel clock for diesel hit $50 billion- businesses and consumers have since March spent $50 billion more on diesel compared to the same time last year. adding gasoline's $78.46 billion, the tally is $128.6 billion more spent on fuel vs a year ago.

My stepmother was a born-again Baptist from TX/OK. After her son & I came out as queer, she & my dad joked they had "6 kids, 2 of each", marched in Pride, & helped found a PFLAG chapter when they retired to Florida. One of her AIDS buddies was a black trans sex worker. Anyone can grow & change. 😍
