Government by law should have to provide all that's necessary for life and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness can flow from that.

Why did Trump just cave? Because when the US borrows money it does so by selling Treasury bonds. Mostly to China, Japan, Europe. Overnight there was a sudden spike in holders dumping their bonds. Trump picked a fight with our creditors, and our creditors just won.

"...like a death squad or a firing squad.” Autistic teen with cerebral palsy shot nine times—from other side of fence—12 seconds after cops arrive on scene. No assessment of the situation. No attempt at de-escalation. Not even a conversation with the boy's family, who did NOT call them to intercede.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

There is like a 90% probability that Trump and his lackey's leaked to Ackerman in advance when and how he would lift the tariffs, to allow Bill and his people the time to buy market calls and implement buy strategies to take full advantage when the announcement was made. Ackerman made huge $$$ today

Are you part of that 63%?
A flyer with pink and teal stripes and a header that says Did You Know?

The flyer has a white note with a red pushpin. The note reads, "63% of Americans did not believe the 2024 election would be both open and honest. If you're part of the growing group who want election transparency, let's get comfortable talking about it."

The bottom of the flyer reads: "It's okay to want fair and secure elections. Learn more at smartelections.us." There is a SMART Elections logo in the lower right corner.

Trump wants elections where the only “eligible” voters are the ones who vote for him — that’s autocracy. Even conservative legal experts like the Cato Institute are calling his order out, saying: presidents can’t overhaul election law by decree.

Presidents Can't Overhaul Election Law by Decree
President Trump has issued an executive order purporting to overhaul the nation’s election law by decree. That’s not how it’s supposed to work.
