Trump vetoes bipartisan bill to provide clean water to rural Southeastern Colorado​

A plan to help local communities pay their share of the long-sought Arkansas River Valley conduit passed Congress with strong bipartisan support, but has still come up one vital signature short of becoming a reality.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday vetoed the “Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act” despite its sponsorship by fellow Republicans and the significant benefits it would provide to southeastern Colorado, where his support runs deep. The conduit, which broke ground in 2023, will provide clean water for farming, factories and households. -snip

While Colorado intelligently voted for Harris in 2024, Southeast Colorado was and still is deep red Trump country. So they voted to keep drinking their high salt and irradiated water. Well played SE Colorado, poisoning yourselves to "own the libs".

Trump ran on an "America first, no more US interventionism, no more foreign wars" platform and Trumpers (rightfully) cheered. Now that Trump has declared war on Venezuela by attacking the country, killing people and abducting the Venezuelan president and his wife, Trumpers are cheering. They will cheer whatever Trump does.

This attack is for two main reasons, 1) A distraction from Trump's shitshow, and 2) Oil, oil, oil. Trump will be getting a kickback, as he does nothing for free.

"Health insurance costs are rising significantly, especially for ACA Marketplace plans in 2026, primarily due to the expiration of federal premium tax credits. Employer plans are also seeing increases from higher medical and prescription drug expenses, with family coverage averaging around $27,000 annually." -snip



Directly due to Trump and Republicans in congress. This is putting more money into the hands of billionaire health insurance companies at the expense of the average American, while pricing some lower income people completely out of their health insurance. This is Trumpism, this is what Trumpers voted for. Well played, deplorables.

Who was Renee Nicole Good, the 37-year-old mother of three killed by ICE?​

The woman shot dead by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis has been identified as Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three who had just moved to the city.

She was a prize-winning poet and a hobby guitarist, who city leaders have said was there as a legal observer of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities.

But the Trump administration has called her a "domestic terrorist". -snip

Trump's thugs in ICE murdered this mother of three when she was leaving after dropping her kids off, then the Trump administration and Trump took zero time in spinning the narrative that she's a "domestic terrorist" before any investigation. She wasn't even part of the demonstrators, she was just trying to leave and go about her day.

LVC Trumpers l60ridesagain, 92spi, Shagdrum, Bubba 14, Cammerfe, 04_Sport_LS, SENECA et al happily voted for this. This is Trumpism. Good job.

US job creation in 2025 slows to weakest since Covid

Hiring slowed in December to end the weakest year of job growth since the pandemic​

2025 was the worst year for hiring since 2020, December jobs report shows​

The number of jobs created in the US grew only modestly in December, as a weak year for the employment market in the world's largest economy drew to a close. Employers added 50,000 jobs in the final month of 2025, according to Labor Department data, which was fewer than expected. Job gains last year were the smallest since 2020, when the Covid pandemic led to widespread cuts. -snip



Trump wrecked the economy and lost jobs his first term, he and Vance are doing now. This is pure MAGA at work and on display again. This is what the morons voted for.
