About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

FACT FOCUS: Republicans shut down the government to give him more time to hide the #EPSTEIN_Files.

Every question any reporter asks about the government shutdown should include, “Is it true the government is shutdown so Congress can’t vote on the release of the #EpsteinFiles?”

Lutnick threw the regime's admin right under the bus, in that interview. That was a 'save my own ass' epic betrayal. "I looked at my wife and said, We have to go." As if that's the end of his involvement. Y'think? He found a way to get out in front of this, to save himself and took opportunity.

Republicans like to claim they aren't actually cutting Medicaid. Which is an easily disproven lie.

BREAKING Judge Karin Immergut has called a 10PM ET hearing on Trump's effort to circumvent her National Guard order by calling up California troops and sending them to Portland.

In addition to their national defense duties, Americans rely on our National Guard to fight wildfires and respond to other natural disasters. Donald Trump's weaponization of the Guard and deployments to American cities erodes that trust, and makes us less prepared when they are most needed.

Did she fall head first? This is on you, Angela. You fed Russia with money and rewarded every act of aggression with shiny new pipelines. The least you could do now is have the decency to shut the hell up.

Every Republican who stands by while Trump dangerously escalates this conflict with Democrat-led cities and states is complicit in his crimes.

Food must be taken seriously as an environmental problem. It uses ~38% of Earth’s land, drives ~70% of water use, and emits ~22-34% of greenhouse gas pollution globally. And beef and dairy alone drive a huge proportion of this. But there are solutions. Lots of them. go.ted.com/jonathanfoley24

“When we were encircled for almost 70 days,we did everything we could:set up communications, ran wires, put up antennas, searched for food. We picked up things from Russian backpacks when they came close -took canned food,water, cigarettes.We didn’t throw away our weapons, we didn’t surrender.”

Weird how this keeps happening
