It's all so confusing, our government does what ever is best for them not us
.I am so sick of it we have no say.
Get all the landing fees on all airlines to pay the air traffic controlers!
Donald Trump, by rejecting the Democratic Party Offers, is basically saying that he does not seem to care if Poor People don't eat or if they have to pay 5-10 times for Medical Health Insurance. Will be very hard for all Republicans running for Political Office to try to get lots of Votes in Novembers of even number Voting Years of 2026, 2028, and 2030.

Take their pay, Congress should not get paid
Take Congress men’s pay away they’ll open it up real quick they should get exactly what the public gets nothing
Members of Congress do not need to get paid. They’re the ones that shut this country down so their pay should be taken as well as the other people that’s not fair. Nothing is fair with the government anymore. These people are sitting on their you know what and still getting paid that’s disgraceful.
law makers and law enforcement are the olny ones that get paid whats new congress cant not read the laws they pass against americans go back to Rome we can do better without massive Extortion , Intimidation ,Theft ,Fraud, anti -trust
😮

The law is the lawgo hungry
Why did any one. It's for that man I'll never no
Trump. Is no good
They need to do A LOT more when it comes to the mental health of NFL players. So many of them are struggling mentally and it only gets worse after they take so many hits. The NFL is the cause of plenty of violence and death strictly because they don't prioritize mental illness and CTE.
ELP, President Donald Trump !!! We need a lot of help in – (1) All kinds of junk fees/taxes imposed by the San Francisco City & State (2) The homeowners already drowning in debts due to rent control. The annual allowable rent increase RATE is way below the actual RATE of cost of living and EXPENSES (3) Lots of time, the owners can't even recover lost rents & property damages after evictions (4) The modifications of the Prop. 13 is very unfair for the people with inherited homes. Their parents worked very hard to save and with intentions to help out their children after their death. Life already very hard for our lower income families. Do you think we, at least, deserve that little break ??? (5) In the meantime, our government just keep stealing & misuse HUGH Tax Payers' Money like there's no tomorrow. We worked very hard for our money !!!
W Doggo!
This got to be AI. Either we are all unalived or this is AI and we are asleep in human pods and robots are running things

That's a bunch of hooey by Bondi.
Department of defense changed to department of war the Department of justice should be changed to the department of corruption
" locking up "bad guys"…….. infantile expressions……from the mouths of the so called leaders, lawfully elected and supposedly educated lawyers and professionals elected to represent and defend the people of this country…….the whole thing is appalling
Yes we definitely need more peacemakers
Just like the list
President,VP,Congress get pay. How come American people don’t 😩
