Trump: I always like to hang out with losers because it makes me feel better. I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success.

Reporter: The American people are just sick and tired of every one of you, both Republicans and Democrats, come to this podium and blame the other side. People have been standing in lines three, four, five hours at a time. There's TSA workers that are selling their plasma. At what point is a leader on either side going to stand up and say, we have a path forward that everyone will agree to? This vote today will extend the shutdown under any circumstance. Johnson: No it wont.

.@stephenasmith: You’re down in Texas and as a right-winger, you're about to go left because of what you're seeing? Voter: I'm gonna vote for Mr. Talarico, man, 100%. I haven't voted Democratic since I was 20 years old. I am absolutely disgusted with the way things are going. James Talarico is a different deal. He speaks from the heart. I know some of the people he knows. The guy is the real deal, man.

BREAKING 🚨: This is ABSOLUTE CINEMA 🔥 10:31: 🇺🇸TRUMP: There is no leader left to talk. 10:31: 🇺🇸TRUMP: They are Strange. 10:40: 🇺🇸TRUMP: Iran is begging to make deal. 10:42: 🇺🇸TRUMP : They are not fools. They are very smart. They are great negotiators. He has totally lost it 😭

Trump on Cognitive Test: It's actually a very hard test for a lot of people. They got very tough mathematical equations and things.



Kristi Noem - you brought Corey Lewendowski with you to Guyana after just being fired from your last job after being asked in front of congress if you're in an unprofessional relationship with him.... GIRL WHAT IS YOU DOING?!?

The taxable income cap for social security rises each year. The 12.4 percent rate is for the self employed otherwise it’s split evenly between you and your employer. The effective tax rate of large earners goes down significantly the more they earn. The problem doesn’t get solved by raising the cap, but does kick the can down the road. From @grok How Raising or Eliminating the Cap Would Help Social Security Solvency The current cap (about $176,100 in 2025) covers roughly 83% of total covered wages. Only earnings below it are subject to the payroll tax; higher earnings are exempt. Proposals generally fall into two categories: 1. Raise the cap gradually (e.g., to cover 90% of all wages, as envisioned in the 1977 amendments): This would close ~20% of the 75-year shortfall. 2. Eliminate the cap entirely: • With benefit credits for the additional taxed earnings (maintaining the traditional link between contributions and benefits): Closes ~53% of the shortfall and extends solvency to roughly 2059. • Without benefit credits (tax all earnings but don’t increase benefits for high earners): Closes ~73% of the shortfall and extends solvency to roughly 2066 (or even 2080 in some estimates).

🚨NEW AD: Numbers Don’t Lie🚨 12,000 new ICE agents. Millions deported. As President Trump’s deputy ICE Director, Madison Sheahan will fight with Trump in Congress. #OH09
