More lies. 😂😂😂 Japan has charged exactly zero tariffs on American made cars for decades. Japan used to have a rice import quota, prior to Trump’s new trade deal. After the new deal, the quota remains exactly the same.
The fascist dude that got fired from his job, after acting like a total douche, when he debated Mehdi Hasan, started a fundraiser to help him pay bills while he searches for a new job. It turns out he lost his job back in January.
The 8 Bloodiest Battles of the Civil War 🧵 1/ The American Civil War (1861–1865) produced over 620,000 deaths(some estimate up to 1 million), with battles claiming tens of thousands in days. Bloodiest clashes, measured by total casualties (dead, wounded, missing/captured),…
🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Trump just CANCELED protections for Afghan interpreters who fought along side our troops and were PROMISED safety in America. He’s sending them back to the TALIBAN for an immediate death sentence. This is unimaginably evil. 👇
It’s a betrayal that sickens me as a veteran: Afghans who served alongside our troops are being returned to a certain death by the Taliban after Trump ended their safety program. Unconscionable. I’m running for Congress to ensure America upholds its values and keeps our word.
72% of PPP funds were stolen by households with incomes in the top 20% of the national distribution.
BREAKING! Holy crap! CNN just released exclusive new video of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein hanging out at the 1999 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, as well as images of Epstein at Trump’s second wedding. No wonder why Trump is trying to deflect with Obama claims

This is specifically Noems fault. She refused to mobilize them to Texas for 3 days. Almost all of the experience has been forced out of FEMA by Noem. The agency is in absolute chaos. States are in for a rude awakening. I pray we have an easy Hurricane Season
The head of FEMA's search and rescue unit has resigned, and said the Trump administration was causing "chaos" at the agency and hindered the Texas response. nyti.ms/4lKhYEv
We’re at the stage of the trade war negotiations where we’re announcing deals to lower tariffs from 20% to 19% on a country we don’t even buy $10B/year from. This is a complete mockery.
The rural Midwest is best understood as a colony: extractive industries pull out wealth and resources, ship them away, and leave locals with the scraps—and a few local officials get a cut to keep the gears greased.
“Fertilizing crops can’t keep up with the amount of productivity that’s lost by erosion.” That the whole ballgame. If you can’t take care of the single most valuable resource for your business, what the fuck are you even doing? This is mining, not farming.
Rachel Maddow runs a segment on the many ties between Donald Trump and his best friend Jeffrey Epstein
Follow the red brick line! Boston’s Freedom Trail isn’t just a path—it’s a 2.5-mile time machine. Every brick from Paul Revere’s house to the Old North Church tells the story of a revolution that changed the world. It starts at Boston Common, where the 54th Regiment monument…
Trump claims he couldn't have made Epstein's creepy birthday card, but allow Jon Stewart to counter with exhibits A through Z
While @MarshaBlackburn & co. Run around calling themselves “fiscally responsible” and lying about who Trump’s Trillions Transfer helps, here are the facts…
