I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.

Troy Jackson after Collins takes credit for rural healthcare cuts in big beautiful bill not being as bad as they could've been even though she voted to advance the bill: "Sen. Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"

Rule number one in politics: don’t drop a kid on stage. Unfortunately for Vivek Ramaswamy, he missed rule number one. What a total blunder, let alone in front of a rally Trump attended whose attention you just know he was yearning for. A total embarrassment, yikes!!

I think it's a pretty good photo - one that Trump himself would hate. It makes him look old and lost, with those watery eyes, staring off into space.
