Republicans blindly following Trump's lead have created a totally unnecessary and painful economic crisis. Trump's reckless tariffs are making prices sky rocket, destroying both the job and farm market, and putting all small businesses on the chopping block.

Another Killing by ICE agents. First the ICE agent pushed a women to the ground for filming him, then he shot an orange spray into the face of the soon to be deceased man, the man was then taken down and beat by the ICE agent and 5 or 6 of his co-workers before being shot over a half dozen times as he lay helpless on the pavement. My impression the handgun this VA Nurse has a license to carry was taken away before an ICE agent yelled "gun" and the trigger happy poorly trained thugs opened up. Surprising one of their own was not hit in the confusion. Already we are hearing; do you believe your eyes or the party line. This is sick. Also, ICE removing the gun from the scene is an obstruction of justice. A different agency should investigate the shooting.

The South Korean battery plant in Georgia at which Trump's private militia arrested over three hundred (300) Koreans an example. After the backlash over this largest ever immigration raid and concern over how it could impede manufacturing being brought back the United States; Trump posted to Truth Social stressing that all foreign companies are welcome to bring skilled employees to train the domestic workforce but are expected to return home eventually. Would you trust doing business with this man? Listening to the entire speech of Mark Carney is well worth your time.
