This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.
Uses phrases like, "You can violate the governor" because violating people, women, children, laws is his general approach.
He didn't say, "The federal gov't can supercede local and state laws."
He likes 'violate'.

So… this is clearly human trafficking disguised as being tough on immigration.
A Texas father who had lived in the U.S. for 25 years with no criminal record was finishing his night shift as an Uber driver when immigration agents detained him.
Without being able to speak to his lawyer or a judge, he was put on a plane and sent first to Ghana, a country where he had no ties. He was then sent to his home country, despite a determination by a U.S. immigration court judge that he could not be deported there due to likely persecution. cbsn.ws/3Ude66r

Don’t become numb to this. It’s disgusting and dangerous racism and if Rogers wins next month it’ll only escalate.
Sick, sick stuff.

You knew he was going to say this eventually.
"Oil and gas companies are making hundreds of billions of dollars of your hard-earned money" is a great closing message for Republicans.

More than five million Americans have lost their SNAP benefits due to Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," which has forced many, including US veterans, to go to food banks.

Trump to people who want lower gas prices: “Fuck you, I’m making money!”
Just run this as an ad.

Jared Kushner does not have any security clearances.
So his claim about divulging classified information, would mean he is admitting to illegal access of classified information….
Jared Kushner’s attorneys at Clare Locke have sent Vanity Fair a formal demand letter disputing the story and demanding its removal.
It can be very difficult for current and former intelligence customers to pursue defamation cases, not because they face a different legal standard, but because proving their case may require classified evidence they are not authorized to disclose.
I’m not making a prediction about whether Kushner will or won’t file suit…just pointing out that it’s more challenging for him than for most.

TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

This is known as “chain refoulment” and it’s a violation of both U.S. and international law.
Within five days of being deported from the U.S., Moussa Diawara says Ghanaian officials forced him onto a flight to Mali, the very country a U.S. immigration judge ruled he could not be deported to. Diawara says he was homeless and went into hiding.

Obama on Trump: “There’s gold everywhere. What’s up with the gold? Everything — more gold. He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.”

Republicans control the House.
Republicans control the Senate.
Republicans control the White House.
Republicans control the Supreme Court.

trump gets:
- Gold all over the Oval Office
- BILLIONS in crypto for himself
- $400 million dollar Qatari bribe jet
- Millions in media and tech settlements
- Gold bars and diamond rings for tariff relief
- BILLIONS in Pentagon contracts for his sons
- $100,000 per month per person for insider info
- $600 million dollar ballroom at taxpayer expense
YOU GET:
- A war in Iran
- Higher gas prices
- Higher utility prices
- Higher grocery prices
- Higher housing prices
- Higher healthcare costs
- 21 dead American soldiers
- loss of trust from allies around the globe
- ICE thugs abusing our friends and neighbors
Now they want TWO MORE YEARS in office,
While they actively try to STEAL your vote.
WE ARE NOT POWERLESS.
Your vote can change this.
#gop congress chose to ignore and allow plenty of instances just like this, while tr*mp pardons people who were convicted of fraud
grifting machine
but that potentially undocumented immigrant #maga does not like is suffering, so mission accomplished
Rep Neguse: Your agency made a decision not to proceed with competitive bidding, and one of the contractors that got the award was this Safe America Media company that received $143 million. Where is Safe America Media headquartered?
Sec Noem: I don’t know
Rep Neguse: Do you know whether this company that received $143 million in taxpayer dollars, has ever done work for the government before?
Sec Noem: I don’t know
Rep Neguse: The answer is it has not, and do you know why we know that? Because it was incorporated EIGHT DAYS, EIGHT DAYS before this contract went out 🙄🤦♀️

Andy Beshear: I've got soybean farmers. 100% of them voted for Trump. They lost their first client in USAID. Linda McMahon canceled the farm-to-cafeteria program. Trump's tariff pushed China away. All of your farm machinery runs on diesel. And finally, a third of the world's fertilizer passes through the Strait of Hormuz. They are on the verge of declaring bankruptcy.

The man claiming to represent Jared Kushner is literally THE LEAD ATTORNEY for the Depart of Homeland Security.
Jared Kushner doesn't even work for the government.
Even his legal defense strategy is corrupt.
Before publication, we sent Simon & Schuster a detailed 13-page letter responding to and categorically denying the extraordinary allegations made against my client, Jared Kushner, and challenging the total absence of supporting evidence.
Vanity Fair has now published an excerpt amplifying these false and defamatory allegations. We have seen no credible evidence substantiating any of these claims, and we question what independent verification Vanity Fair conducted before publishing them.
We intend to pursue legal action against those responsible and hold them accountable.
