7th District Congressman Eric Burlison won’t bother to engage with his constituents, but I will.
I drove fours hours for this meeting and it was standing room only in Joplin, Missouri. #LFG
Loading mothers and children into the back of a van with bad air (“I can’t breathe”, the other woman badly sick). Whether or not they are guilty of something, this is cruel and unusual punishment.
These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to.
This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented.
So ICE took her into custody.
The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck.

(Reuters) - U.S. trade talks with China are "a bit stalled" and getting a deal over the finish line will likely need the direct involvement of President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Thursday.

JUST IN: Elon Musk has officially announced his departure from DOGE and the Trump administration.
Can’t imagine why anyone would abandon such a wildly successful ship.

Big news! The US Court of International Trade just struck down Trump’s illegal tariff scheme as invalid under IEEPA. The president does not have the authority to implement tariffs unilaterally. Glad to have co-led this case with Oregon to protect Arizona families and small biz.
House Republicans forced through a bill that:
- Makes massive cuts to social security
- Includes tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans
- Creates new and unreasonable work requirements for SNAP and Medicaid recipients
The “One Big, Beautiful Bill” is nothing short of cruel.
Trump: "Part of the problem w/ Harvard is there are about 31% of foreigners coming to Harvard...but they refuse to tell us who the people are...it shouldn't be 31%. It's too much. Bc we have Americans who want to go there...we want a list of those students...I assume with Harvard many will be bad"

Caveman Trump.
Always giving in on tariffs at the deadline while getting no deals in return. Concepts of deals though. Lots of stuff happening behind the scenes. Any day now. Golden Age.
I just think it’s funny that the president thinks making everything more expensive will be no big deal in a nation that exists because its ancestors overthrew their government rather than pay an extra tax on tea

Cruelty is taking control in the United States. I lived in a country for a couple of years that let cruelty be unleashed on its people and we don't want it here. My latest post is free as always but we have a big discount going for paid subscriptions.
"Meta is building a $10 billion AI data center in northeast Louisiana. Entergy Louisiana says it needs to build a major new natural gas plant to power the facility. The utility wants permission to pass the plant's construction costs onto its entire customer base."
Q: Can you commit that nobody on your team was giving tips to Wall Street executives on trade deals?
Trump: "I can commit to myself. That’s all I can commit. I have thousands of people that work for me, but I can’t imagine anyone doing that. I have very honorable people.”
