For those who were so concerned about inflation in the run-up to the 2024 election, the inflation rate was 2.9% during Biden's last year in office. Today, with Donald and the White House in charge of the economy, inflation has risen to 4.2%.
4.2 > 2.9
A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.
Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.
Trump promised not to “touch” Medicaid.
Now he is cutting it by $1 trillion and taking health care away from patients with cancer, AIDS and other life-threatening diseases to pay for tax breaks to the top 1% and his wealthy campaign contributors.
Unimaginable cruelty.
Asked today how he feels about negotiations with Iran collapsing, Trump said, "I couldn't care less."
You'd think the president of the United States would care about service members dying and millions paying more for gas because of his illegal and unconstitutional war.
Zero investigations, indictments, arrests, or even so much as a parking ticket for Epstein’s coconspirators. As Melania said, Epstein did not act alone.

The Pentagon hands out a $10 billion contract after Trump buys stock in the company.
Foreign governments are caught funneling hundreds of millions into a random JPMorgan account tied to Trump’s “Board of Peace” with no oversight.
It’s just Thursday.
The corruption isn’t hidden anymore. It’s happening out in the open.
Morning everyone.
Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws?
You are subject to the law. Now he is not.
No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.
Memorial Day food staple prices are up an average of 13%.
Americans will spend $2B more on gas over the holiday weekend due to the highest gas prices in nearly four years.

Good morning.
The President of the United States is currently looting the treasury. He’s just taking your money for his own purposes. Billions of it.
And Republicans won’t do anything because their loyalty isn’t to you, it’s to him.
I’m begging @RepThomasMassie to go on the House floor asap & read all of the names in the #EpsteinFiles - you were a hero for survivors - you believed them & fought for them. Your actions were brave & heroic. Now pls blow the whole thing wide open. Thank you.
Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies.
I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics.
It makes Nixon look like a boy scout.

Democrats NEED to be talking more about the GUTTING of the Voting Rights Act.
MAGA is silencing voters and carving up Black districts all across the South to hold onto power.
This is Jim Crow 2.0. Silence is NOT an option.
About 2.5 million people have lost food assistance since Trump signed his and Republicans’ big, ugly bill, with seniors and children particularly affected.
Trump forced people into going hungry so that the super-rich can pay less in taxes. Never forget that.
