When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.

In a small town in County Cork, Ireland, a monument stands in appreciation to the American Choctaw Indian Tribe. Although impoverished, shortly after being forced to walk the Trail of Tears, the tribe somehow gathered $170 to send to Ireland for famine relief in 1847 [Historic Vids]

I’d be ok with this and said it many times. It could lead to more companies paying higher dividends. Given that qualified dividends (most are), are tax free to the majority of wage earners in this country, I think it’s a huge positive. Exactly what I said to the Harris campaign

Ghislaine Maxwell told Todd Blanche that Epstein started out paying her $25K, then increased it to $250K over the years, but court records show he sent her over $30M. That’s quite the discrepancy—or cover-up.

Trump's Alaska summit with Putin was a staged spectacle, full of empty gestures and false promises. Despite Trump's delusions of peace, Putin remained steadfast, showing no interest in ending the war. The meeting achieved nothing, leaving Trump embarrassed and sidelined.
