@Tdaen1 @SpencerHakimian We already have laws that require at least minimum wage. In states with tip credit, if tips don’t pay at least the state or federal minimum wage, the employer must make up the difference. dol.gov/general/topic/…

@SpencerHakimian We need laws to force the restaurants to pay at least minimum wage

Why would any restaurant admit to this?

@Miriam2626 And her polling dropped the longer it went on as she couldn’t even answer basic questions like what she would do differently than Joe Biden.

@matj1285 Again she had 2 months to campaign.

For those of you criticizing Kamala Harris: Remember she had only 2 months to form a campaign strategy. She was put in an impossible position. While we lost both the house and senate she closed the gap significantly. I'm not committing to voting for her but stop the hate.

There is no ceasefire. There hasn’t been. They don’t want a deal. They never did. Iran has calculated we won’t restart full scale hostilities because of economic pressures. If Trump doesn’t act, it will be impossible to call this anything but a self-inflicted failure.

Trump’s latest deceptive chart: US oil prices are *up* since the day he returned to office in Jan. 2025, when they were under $80. So what is the “$120” the chart uses to wrongly declare prices way down “since Sleepy Joe”? It’s the approximate *peak* Biden-era price, from *2022.* Trump has repeatedly used this tactic, comparing current gas prices and inflation rates to 2022 peaks rather than the levels Biden left him.

Justice Neil Gorsuch: “Our nation is not founded on a religion. It’s not based on a common culture, even, or heritage. … We’re a creedal nation.” MAGA on this app is furious over this statement

@noseyniecey @allenanalysis Unless Democrats nominate Kamala again.

@allenanalysis After this shit show administration I’d be highly surprised that any republican wins the 28 election.

🇺🇸🔥BREAKING: Marco Rubio is now the odds-on favorite to win the 2028 presidency. The man who said the goal of the Iran war is to restore things “back to the way it was.” Before Trump started the war. $25 billion spent. Thousands dead. And Rubio is riding it to the front of

A man with no working truck convinced Wall Street he had built the next Tesla. His company hit $30 BILLION. All he did was push it down a hill with no engine. > Trevor Milton founded Nikola in 2014, named after the same inventor as Tesla. > The goal was to build hydrogen powered trucks that would make diesel obsolete. He had no trucks. > In 2018 he released a promotional video called Nikola One In Motion. It showed a sleek semi truck accelerating smoothly down an open highway. Investors went wild. > What nobody knew was that the truck had no engine, no fuel cell, and no propulsion system of any kind. > Milton's team towed it to the top of a hill, tilted the camera to hide the slope, and let it roll. > He spent the next four years doing the same thing with words. On podcasts, television and social media. > Investors were told Nikola could produce its own hydrogen. It could not. They were told the trucks were ready for production. They were not. They were told orders were flooding in. They weren't. > In June 2020 Nikola went public. Within days the company was worth $30 BILLION, more than Ford. > Milton's personal stake hit $7.3 BILLION overnight. > A $32.5 MILLION ranch in Utah followed. A record for the state at the time. > In September 2020 Hindenburg Research published a report calling Nikola "an intricate fraud" built on "an ocean of lies." Milton resigned within ten days. > A federal jury convicted him of securities fraud and wire fraud in 2022. Sentenced to four years in prison the following year. > He never went. He was free on $100 MILLION bail pending appeal. > He and his wife donated $3.2 MILLION to Donald Trump's 2024 campaign. > In March 2025 Trump gave him a full pardon. The pardon erased $168 MILLION in restitution to defrauded shareholders. > Nikola filed for bankruptcy the following month, leaving thousands of investors with nothing. The company never had a product. The only thing that was real was the $30 BILLION valuation, the $7 BILLION that landed in his pocket and the pardon that made sure none of it had to be returned.

@cuseguysteve @CountryFirstRep Low bar. Trump being worse does not make Obama’s foreign policy good.

@CountryFirstRep Obama didn’t want to run the country like a dictator and supported our allies. Nice try.

An unbelievably weak foreign policy.

@zivjelee @CountryFirstRep He inherited a super majority Democratic Congress in his first two years. His poor performance led to him losing control of Congress.

@CountryFirstRep He was hamstrung because of Bush's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and a Republican Congress for most of his term.

Not a great sign that President Trump’s judicial nominees seem incapable of stating that President Trump is ineligible to run for a third term.

🥸😢😡🫰👎🤏🥸 Many people voted for Donald Trump because “he’s a businessman.” 💰 They just overlooked the fact that he isn’t very good at it. His first casino, the Trump Taj Mahal, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 1991 — just over a year after opening in April 1990. The casino failed to generate enough revenue to cover the massive debt from its $1 billion construction cost. After that first bankruptcy in 1991, other Trump-related casinos and hotels also filed for bankruptcy within a relatively short time: ❌ Trump Castle (1992) — filed after becoming unprofitable in 1991, only a few years after opening. ❌ Trump Plaza Hotel (1992) — filed within four years of being acquired due to excessive debt. ❌ Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts (2004) — filed 12 years after the first wave of bankruptcies, with $1.8 billion in debt. ❌ Trump Entertainment Resorts (2009 and 2014) — filed two more times, driven by the 2008 financial crisis and declining revenues in Atlantic City. Over a 25-year period, businesses associated with Donald Trump filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy between four and six times, depending on how the filings are counted across separate entities. During these proceedings, Trump often handed over ownership stakes to creditors and, in some cases, removed his name from properties. Because he didn’t want to be seen as the failure he has always been. 🥵🤔😱

This is insane Three Trump judicial nominees refused, over and over, to say Joe Biden won the 2020 election. They either believe Trump’s lie that the election was stolen, or they’re too afraid of him to tell the truth. This isn’t about their political views. It’s about recognizing reality and being part of an independent judiciary

The world will be worse off without Ben Sasse. He would've made a great President.

@gmwvheel @LukewSavage Reagan and FDR.

@LukewSavage So every president is a failure if the following president is the other party. What a great metric so that there’s basically no successful presidents ever! 😃

No denying Obama's popularity, but if his presidency had been a success Donald Trump would never have been elected

@newrepublic @gtconway3d Blame Obama being a poor kingmaker and Biden for following in his footsteps.

The fact that we elected this man to the presidency twice should prompt deep introspection about what we’ve become. trib.al/Fb8yXDB

Trump policies crushing AG sector: - 15K fewer farms in 2025 - 1.86M farms = lowest since 1890s - 54% of Trump bailout used to pay debts— going to banks/lenders not investment in equipment or ops All of this with growing diesel/fertilizer crisis & food inflation spike coming

@FranklinH3000 @ThomasTheLib Then why didn’t Obama say China was the number one threat in the debate?

@ThomasTheLib And Democrats were right. Russia is a regional problem, as evidenced by its current failure to take over one much smaller next-door neighbor. Russian influence in the US, meanwhile, is a pure own goal. China was and is a bigger issue.

In 2012, Mitt Romney called Russia our number one geopolitical foe. He was right and Democrats stupidly laughed him off.

@DeepPurple007 @ThomasTheLib Obama mocked him in the third debate.

@ThomasTheLib They didn't laugh him off actually. What Democrat didn't know Russia was the US enemy?

If Republicans hate the CA and VA redistricting, they can thank the person responsible - Donald J. Trump. None of it would’ve been possible without his leadership on this issue.
