@GOP Just a reminder: a bigger refund doesn’t mean lower taxes it just means people overpaid during the year. There’s no data showing record refunds next year yet.

@EricLDaugh I wish somebody would tell him that the US Supreme Court can’t overturn a state ruling. He hast to go to the New York Supreme Court, but I guess his lawyers forgot to mention that.

The GOP is holding America hostage, warning working-class people to “feel pain” because they don’t care about them. A “clean CR” isn’t clean—it rips healthcare from working Americans by cutting the very credits that keep hospitals funded. Those credits also fund emergency Medicaid used by hospitals that can’t turn patients away. When that funding disappears, hospitals eat the cost, raise prices, and everyone with insurance pays more. The GOP’s real priority? Tax cuts for billionaires and Donald Trump’s ballroom. “Let them eat cake” might as well be the party’s motto.

Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for SNAP benefits period. Only U.S. citizens and certain lawfully present noncitizens (like refugees, asylees, or green card holders who’ve been in the U.S. for at least 5 years) can qualify. According to the USDA and Cato Institute, less than 6% of SNAP participants are noncitizens, all legally present. There’s no evidence undocumented immigrants make up any portion of SNAP spending, let alone 70%.

America spends $7.8B monthly on SNAP. If ILLEGALS were removed from SNAP the cost would reduce 70%. If all benefits were CUT OFF they would LEAVE. 45% of ALL AFGHANI’s living in America receive FREE FOOD from YOU. Is this your American dream? Cause if sure isn't mine.

✅ What the claim says •That within nine months, over 600,000 Americans were lifted off food stamps (i.e., off the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP). •Wages for workers are rising at the fastest pace in more than 60 years. •Energy prices, gasoline prices, grocery prices, and mortgage rates are all “down.” •This is tied to the “nine months” timeframe referenced. ⸻ ⚠️ What the source evidence shows •The speech transcript does show that Trump said those things. For example: “In nine months, we lifted over 600,000 Americans off food stamps. Wages for workers are rising at the fastest pace in more than 60 years … energy prices are down, gasoline prices are down, grocery prices are down, mortgage rates are down.” •So yes — the claim is reported as having been made by him. •However, there is no credible independent data in the sources reviewed that robustly backs all parts of the claim (all metrics for the exact period of “nine months”) with publicly verified government numbers. •For example: •No clearly documented number confirming exactly “600,000 Americans off food stamps in nine months” tied to the administration’s direct action in a verifiable way from the sources. •The statement about “fastest pace in more than 60 years” for wage growth is broad and would require a precise historical wage-growth dataset to substantiate. ⸻ 🧮 What to keep in mind •Speeches often include round or simplified numbers, and can reflect politically strategic framing rather than strictly granular data breakdowns. •Metrics like “energy prices are down” or “mortgage rates are down” depend heavily on the timeframe reference (e.g., compared to when exactly?) and may be selective (regional, nominal vs real, specific categories). •It’s wise to cross-check with reputable sources such as: •The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for wage growth and inflation. •The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) or SNAP data for food-stamp recipient counts. •Mortgage-rate data from the Federal Reserve or other financial sector analysts.

This is how far down the rabbit hole Trump supporters have gone. Reagan was on record his entire presidency opposing tariffs. The speech is everywhere. But Trump says, “Reagan loved tariffs,” and suddenly that’s gospel truth. Google exists, people. Use it. Stop worshipping nonsense I don’t even get this. You literally have the entire internet at your fingertips ask any AI or search engine, “Was Ronald Reagan against tariffs?” and it’ll tell you yes. He said it over and over during his presidency. But sure, let’s believe Trump instead. Unreal.

@bennyjohnson Couple things no, Reagan did not like tariffs; he was against them, which is why he gave that speech. It wasn’t AI. You’d know that if you researched it instead of parroting Trump. Second you’re not old enough to remember Reagan, and he’d be rolling in his grave at this nonsense.

Oh I see, so it’s totally fine for Donald Trump to hold official events where people buy his “meme coin” and pour millions into his personal wealth, but the Clintons letting a few campaign donors stay in the Lincoln Bedroom during the 90s is a national scandal? Everyone clutch your pearls and faint on cue we’ve got our case of the vapors.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth
Overnight, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Tren de Aragua (TdA), a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO), trafficking narcotics in the Caribbean Sea. The vessel was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics. Six male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters—and was the first strike at night. All six terrorists were killed and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike. If you are a narco-terrorist smuggling drugs in our hemisphere, we will treat you like we treat Al-Qaeda. Day or NIGHT, we will map your networks, track your people, hunt you down, and kill you.

That photo was taken at Trump’s wedding to Marla Maples in 1993, which the Clintons attended as guests that’s all. The quote was invented years later to push the idea that Clinton once admired Trump. So you have been duped Hilary Clinton never said this and you fell for a fake meme.

You are sadly misinformed The so-called “$376 million White House renovation” that Obama approved wasn’t some fancy remodel or ballroom addition it was a long planned infrastructure and security overhaul that had been on the books since the Bush administration. The Project: “The White House Big Dig” Timeframe: Began around 2010 and lasted several years Estimated cost: About $376 million Purpose: Modernize aging mechanical, electrical, and security systems under the West Wing. What They Actually Did According to official documents and coverage (GAO reports, National Journal, CNN, and The Washington Post at the time): 1.Replaced 1930s era utilities and wiring •The West Wing’s plumbing, steam, and electrical systems hadn’t been updated in decades. •Old cables, pipes, and air ducts were completely replaced. 2.Installed new security bunkers and evacuation tunnels •Much of the excavation was tied to Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security requirements after 9/11. •A new underground structure likely a secure operations center was added beneath the West Wing. 3.Reinforced structural foundations •Excavation went as deep as 60 feet below ground in some areas to reinforce and waterproof the lower foundations. •The entire project was designed to make the White House more resilient to attacks or natural disasters. 4.Reworked HVAC and communications •Modernized heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and fiber-optic systems. •Improved energy efficiency and security communication lines. What It Was Not •It did not bulldoze or expand the White House itself. •It did not create a ballroom, new wing, or aesthetic remodel. •It was mostly underground and invisible to the public though the South Lawn was torn up temporarily for access.

Oh this is just rich… Obama in 2009 tore up the front lawn of the White House and spent nearly $400 million of taxpayer dollars, during a RECESSION, to build a basketball court… CNN gushed over him. Trump is building a ballroom, spending LESS, $300 Million, for a magnificent ballroom, and not a penny of that is coming from taxpayers… CNN is furious. Now, Hakeem Jeffries wants to investigate him, and democrats are worried about preserving history… they literally said the White House was RACIST. rumble.com/v70pcos-obama-…

Before posting a meme, you might want to take 30 seconds to Google the quote. Truman never said this not like that, anyway. It’s a twisted version of something he said about himself, not all politicians. But like Pavlov’s dog, the bell rings, you see a meme, you salivate and repost no idea if it’s true. And you end up looking like a fool in the process.

Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but doesn’t the Secretary of Defense usually have things to do like managing the actual Department of Defense? You know, budgets, manpower, strategy, administration… the job? Or is he too busy doing big-dick action scenes because he likes playing dress-up?
