To be fair, it probably IS pretty stressful to answer questions about why your agents fired seven rounds into a vehicle carrying a 5 year old.

i too would like to store vast quantities of volatile ammunition on top of a single target building in the middle of town and am also definitely not fortifying the area around the white house in event I get kicked out of office and held accountable for my actions at even the slightest level

I appreciate that whomever came up with this methodology at least took the time to come up with a such an audacious way of robbing the American people. That’s next level nefariousness. It must’ve be annoying for them to have to deal with Donald - useful idiots are still idiots, ya know?

If your parents made $50K in the 90s, you need to make $130K in 2026 to have the same buying power. $130K is the new $50K Let that sink in

Over $100 billion in tariff refunds has been paid out so far. The government sent $0 to US consumers. Companies got the refunds. It’s like taking money from your own citizens, then handing it to corporations. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Canada just put 15% to 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of US products. The US raises tariffs. Americans pay more. Canada retaliates. Then American businesses lose sales. Then the US raises tariffs again. And Americans pay even more.

COVID showed what happens when supply shocks hit a system with no room to absorb them. Three years of higher prices. The next inflation shock is already forming.

Now the same risk is back. The Panama Canal is preparing to cut daily ship traffic again. The canal moves 5% of world trade. More than 70% of its cargo starts or ends in the US. Meanwhile, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains severely disrupted and far below normal.

El Niño is a warming of Pacific waters that shifts weather worldwide. It raises drought risk across parts of Asia & Australia, flood risk across parts of the Americas, and can disrupt crops, hydropower and shipping. All at once. The last El Niño pushed Panama into its third-driest year on record.

There’s also a 69% chance it becomes historic. Stronger than every El Niño measured since 1950. This is the next supply shock.

JUST IN: JPMorgan warns a global food supply shock could hit within the next year. NOAA says there’s a greater than 90% chance this El Niño will be “very strong” through fall and winter. For October through December, that chance rises to 95%.

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

One good suggested revision - adding a recommnendation for exploring options to let autistic adults remain in existing family housing following death of a caregiver. Great idea. At the risk of repeating myself... WHERE IS THE FUNDING? There is no funding recommendation attached to ANY of these

If Crowley came out in support of Transparency, Accountability, & Protections regarding the hyperscale data centers trying to infiltrate the state, he would gain more support. The vast majority of Wisconsinites want this, and Crowley looks less progressive than Tiffany on the issue, which is crazy.

Two paths that ultimately lead to the same goal. One has the benefit of being immediately impactful, which is nice, the other which addresses the underlying problems that led to the 80 year old you’re referring to in the first place. May you both encounter benevolent genies. Remember to free them

Good for Canada! I am willing to take the hit so more of our electorate faces the consequences of their actions. Even now, Canada is behaving like a true friend by setting and enforcing boundaries (i.e. calling out the bs of the current regime). I am grateful.

Dolly got us the vaccine MUCH faster than we otherwise would have, saving untold numbers of lives in the process. Fall is an excellent time to get your vaccines because we’re gearing up to travel for big holidays and be indoors in close quarters more often.

I’m a bit worried that Dolly passed away when she did because the universe said, “Nope, she’s too good for this.” I take comfort in knowing that she will insist on being an angel that guides us through. Be brave. Be kind. Be like Dolly. #DollyParton

- If you have any seasonal allergies, be sure to eat local honey - the exposure to the allergens processed in the honey has been shown to help with symptoms - If you have a cough from a cold, a spoonful of honey can be as effective as many cough medicines.

Hanging? We need to call this what it is: LYNCHING. Ten Black Americans in less than two years. Every one of these deaths deserves answers, transparency, and scrutiny. No one should look at these images and expect Black Americans to shrug this off, especially in light of our history.
