World hunger has been reduced by 95% since the industrial era. Just because you're ignorant of this, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Thank you, billionaires 😀

Tariff collections in January totaled 0.07% of the National Debt, and President Trump is talking about tariff rebates. If the government stopped spending any money (including interest payments) it would take more than 100 years to pay off the debt with tariffs.

Tariffs were pitched as the fix for America’s trade deficit.
Instead…
2024: –$1.215 trillion deficit in Goods.
2025: –$1.241 trillion deficit in Goods.
+2% YoY to Another Record High🚨

DEAN: “What’s the tariff on bananas?”
LUTNICK: “10%.”
DEAN: “Walmart already raised banana prices by 8%.”
LUTNICK: “Well, if you build in America, there’s no tariff.”
DEAN: “You can’t build bananas in America.”

President Trump touts “$18 trillion” in tariff-driven investment. But it’s fake, made of vague announcements, routine spending, and Japanese LNG purchases labeled as “investment.” Real FDI in 2025 was only $266 billion. The $18 trillion is hype, not evidence, says Cato’s @AlanReynoldsEcn.

CBO says President Trump's tariffs will pass almost entirely through (95%) to the US economy and on to American consumers. The tariffs affect 61% of US imports and will:
-reduce investment
-reduce employment
-lower efficiency
-lower the level of GDP

Immigrants in the US have reduced the deficit every year since 1994 (when data collection began). According to a Cato study, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they received in benefits from federal, state, and local governments.

Immigrants saved US government at all levels $14.5 trillion from 1994 to 2023 because the taxes they paid cut budget deficits by nearly one-third in real terms, a new Cato Institute study reports. Learn more from @David_J_Bier.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

"Imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant." What a colossal and ignorant asshat @SpeakerJohnson is, to say such a stupid thing during the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution.

I care as much about a foreigner crossing a border to work as I do about a foreigner crossing a border to shop.
In both cases, the exchange is voluntary and mutually beneficial. The only people harmed are those afraid of competition.
What I find strange is how this suddenly becomes an issue on the right, despite the argument originating with Bernie Sanders.
The same people will correctly argue there’s no right to a wage or a job, yet that principle flips the moment the discussion shifts from arguing with the left to arguing about immigration.
If there’s no right to a job, then there’s no right to be protected from someone else willing to do it better or cheaper, regardless of where they were born.

This guy is a great American.
Peacefully carrying, and not escalating when fed scumbags try and intimidate him.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis violently detained, threatened, and arrested a U.S. citizen for one reason only, he refused to prove his citizenship.
In the video, agents immediately escalate to physical force. A man stands with his hands up, repeatedly saying, “I’m not doing anything,” while agents shove him, force him against his car, and begin an illegal search.
No crime. No warrant. No probable cause.
An agent falsely claims, “That’s assault,” while they are actively assaulting a U.S. citizen who is complying and not resisting.
Moments later, the agent admits the truth, saying, “And all we needed was your ID,” openly acknowledging this was an unlawful detention based solely on a refusal to produce identification.
That is not legal.
The short agent then threatens, “Don’t move or you will be fucking tased.”
The man calmly responds, “I’m not moving.”
The short agent escalates again, snarling, “You’re a fucking bitch, and you’re going to learn the hard way.”
That is a direct threat of violence against a U.S. citizen whose hands are already behind his back.
They dig through his pockets anyway, repeating, “I just asked you for an ID,” as if that excuses violating the Fourth Amendment.
Then, in a moment that exposes the entire operation, the short agent announces, “He has a gun on him! Wouldn’t you look at that.”
As if Minnesota is not a conceal-carry state.
The man immediately responds, “A fully registered firearm. Because I’m a U.S. citizen.”
The short agent casually tosses the firearm onto the car after removing the magazine, demonstrating reckless handling of a legally owned weapon.
By this point, they have removed his wallet, yet, still do not check his ID, and still continue the arrest.
The man states the obvious, “Unlawful arrest.”
The short agent replies, “We’ll see about that.”
When asked what crime he committed, the short agent deflects, saying, “We’re going to talk about that when we get in the car,” knowing full well he is on camera and cannot articulate a lawful reason.
Only then do agents begin changing their story, claiming the man “reached for something.”
The man immediately corrects them, he reached for his whistle.
ICE agents already admitted the detention was because he refused to show ID. They did not know he was carrying a firearm until after the illegal search. Now they are retroactively inventing justification.
The video contradicts every word they say.
This wasn’t law enforcement. This was intimidation, retaliation, and a fishing expedition carried out by armed agents.
If not carry papers, as a U.S. citizen, gets you assaulted and arrested, then this isn’t law enforcement. It’s a police state.
