Americans will pay $1.5 BILLION MORE at the gas pump just this week because of Donald Trump's war with Iran.
California will continue using the tools we've spent years developing to help fight price spikes and lessen the blow from Trump's recklessness.
The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs — including nearly two million children.
The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war.
Priorities.
Let's make one thing clear. We have systems in place that prevent multiple votes being counted for a single candidate on your voting registration account.
If Trump was so obsessed over this he could have experts show the mechanisms of that one vote limit system.
But he doesn't. Trump = Scam
Can someone help Pinocchiogles understand how immigration works pls
“When President Trump says that Iran is in a place of unconditional surrender, he’s not claiming the Iranian regime is going to come out and say that themselves.” -- Karoline Leavitt
That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

DHS leadership reportedly removed top privacy officials after they objected to government records being mislabeled to keep them from the public.
According to WIRED, the officials raised transparency concerns and then were pushed out of the department.
I’ve been briefed on the storm and tornado damage in the Kankakee area.
My administration including IEMA are in contact with local officials to offer our full support.
Keeping in our thoughts all Illinoisans impacted by the severe weather — we’ll be here to help them recover.
Witkoff admits he and Jared Kusher are communicating with Russia through Putin adviser Yuri Ushakov "independently." Witkoff goes on to say the Russians told them they are not sharing info with Iran. Pinky promised.
The ex-DOGE employee who walked off with a thumb drive of Social Security data and took it to a private company told a whistleblower he “expected a presidential pardon if his actions were deemed illegal.” If that isn’t a window into the Trump administration, I don’t know what is
Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success
One of the law firms Trump tried to intimidate with an executive order is representing Anthropic in court. Here are the details of the two lawsuits against the government after DOD tried to blacklist the developer of Claude AI.

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) speaks to reporters after attending a closed door briefing with Senate Armed Service Committee at the U.S. Capitol Building on March 10, 2026 in Washington, DC. The committee held the briefing to hear from officials on "Operation Epic Fury" and the ongoing U.S.-Israel conflict against Iran. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images)
Elizabeth Warren: “For the Trump administration to say over & over, there's no money for healthcare – there's no money for childcare – there's no time to pay attention to how families are paying more – but there's a billion dollars a day to go to the Middle East & drop bombs on Iran”
The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.
The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
As we go into the primary season of elections, voters should be looking for:
1. People of good character.
2. Persons who are willing to enact government reforms to ensure accountability..
3. People who are willing to change the tax system to make it more fair. fair means more equal equality.
The one good thing seen from them in years. 🙄👇
“In my 15 years in the Senate, I have never left a briefing this angry. We are heading down a path toward sending U.S. troops to Iran as ground forces,” — Sen. Richard Blumenthal
Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.
They know that the American people do not want a war
This is the guy who likes to downplay non-fatal injuries suffered by US service members in combat.
Graph showcasing the latest poll by Evanston Roundtable, with a photo of Kat covering her mouth so excited about what she sees. Copy reads: WE HAVE THE JUICE!

Carl withdrew from the nomination process today.
Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.
They hate me because I fight. They attack me because I win.
I will do everything I can to protect free and fair elections. I will never back down.
This is clearly fine with the GOP.
Kristi Noem was an absolute failure at DHS. A complete disgrace. But Trump’s new pick is somehow worse.
So we need everyone on board as loud as possible telling their Senators to vote no on this disaster of a nominee!
Media seem to avoid hard questioning because Trump tries to humiliate them. I wish there were veteran reporters who pin him to the wall and get something different than rhetoric.
I mean... I'm not a professional newspaper editor but it seems to me you could save yourself a whole lotta words here by substituting them with "lies".
Mary Trump: “For Donald, there is one reason and one reason alone. He's in trouble, and he knows it. This isn't simply about changing the subject. That, of course, would be bad enough. This is to keep himself and the world from knowing what an inept, depraved, compromised fraud he is."
