Please be sure to watch last night’s 60 Minutes story that was pulled by CBS Management. View and share with everyone you can. This is being done in our name — and it is so unbelievably unAmerican.

With Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” under consideration in Congress, the grifter in chief receives a tax cut of $375,000. Those with incomes below $50,000 see tax increases and lost buying power of $700 annually. Wealthy people win. Working people lose — again.

Daily it seems we learn about a disgusting policy pursued by Trump. Today — it was the efforts in January to deport immigrants to Ukraine. Let’s deport people struggling for a better life 5000 miles away to a freaking war zone. Evil.

Well done Perkins Coie. Thank you for standing up to the bully in Chief. Regrettably, Paul Weiss, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Washington Post, Columbia University, the Supreme Court, Susan Collins, ABC News, and so many others lack your courage and principles.

Why did Elon spend $300 million to help Trump win the presidency? Rest assured — it wasn’t about principle. It wasn’t about government efficiency. It was never about making America a better country. Rather — it was about Musk’s wallet. It always was.

Democrats in Washington proposed an amendment that prohibits Federal funds being used to deport Americans. Republicans on the Judiciary Committee voted to KILL the amendment. This is beyond frightening. Another very dark turn by the GOP and Trump Administration.

If, as President Trump insists, nations actually pay tariffs, perhaps an enterprising reporter will ask him how much the U.S. Federal Government paid in tariffs to other countries over the last decade? The answer is ZERO. Nations DO NOT pay tariffs.

There is no better indication as to the impact the Trump Tariffs are going to have on consumers then his call to Amazon’s Bezos yesterday. If he truly believed they were going to lead to a new “golden age,” he would DEMAND credit on every sales receipt everywhere.

America’s “image” is being destroyed. Consider what “we” are doing: * Side w/Russia over Ukraine and NATO * Create worldwide uncertainty with tariffs. * Started deporting U.S. children with cancer. * Moved to defund Meals on Wheels for seniors and disabled.

This is complete crap. I long for the days when the American President had intelligence, grace, and a sense of empathy for others. The most powerful man in the world using his social media site to harangue the leaders of other countries is childish.

This is obscene. That the President would use a doctored photo to argue a man should be denied due process — and left in an El Salvador prison for the remainder of his life — is so beyond the bounds of decency. Kilmar Garcia SHOULD be allowed to sue Trump.

Reading about a United States Senator terrified of retribution from President Trump - I am reminded of a quote from a fictional politician in the 1995 movie “The American President.” “… I was so busy keeping my job I forgot to do my job…” We need better. NOW!!!

Call me a cynic if you must. But, it is impossible not to wonder what ‘gifts’ were bestowed on ‘Dear Leader’ to ‘earn’ these exemptions. What about small businesses, farmers, fishermen, and others who can’t afford to play in the D.C. Swamp? Can you say corruption?

This is the third time this year President Trump has imposed tariffs and then backed off. The damage his on again, off again tariff scheme is causing is incalculable. Moreover, the back and forth has opened trading markets to rampant corruption. Not good at all.

Why is Trump hot on tariffs affecting business and government? Money - for him and his family. Since January, companies have poured $80,000,000 into Trump personally. Meta - $25,000,000 X - 10,000,000. Disney - $15,000,000 Amazon - $41,000,000 It’s the grift.

History proves that during times of economic distress (e.g. 2008, 2020), the rich get richer fast — while middle and lower income people work years to get back where they started. Trump’s tariffs are going to hit workers hard for the next decade.
