I find it's faster to replace all Trump quotes with "some dumb shit." For example:

Pandas returned to DC this year and Trump said "*some dumb shit*."

It saves time and brain cells and it's always true.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Abolish the American Gestapo
ICE spokesperson Marcos Charles: "My officers stayed with the child. They cared for him. Took him to get something to eat from a drive-thru restaurant and spent hours ensuring he was taken care of. Again, my officers did that, not his father ... his family refused to open the door and take him back"

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Minnesotans are being racially profiled on a mass scale, assaulted on our streets, and kidnapped from our communities.

Not one penny of our taxpayers' dollars should go to DHS while our constitutional rights are being violated.

I'll say yet again: Trump & his party do something virtually every day that constitutes a more violent & alarming suppression of speech than anything that happened during the entire alleged tyranny of woke. Every day. Yet the entire Free Spech army has just vanished into mist.
I wrote on the shameful situation re: the recession of a deanship to Emily Suski at the University of Arkansas Law. What was the reason? Prof. Suski signed an amicus brief supporting trans rights. The Arkansas legislators admitted that was it! Horrible outcome. ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Part of the reason Trump lies so much(aside from the fact that he’s a liar) is because he literally doesn’t know anything

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul

Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home.

So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

You got it: deflation is the process of nominal prices of goods and services going down over time. Intuitively it might seem good: things get cheaper for consumers, hooray! In actuality this is one of the worst possible things that can happen to an economy. It's "people will starve to death" bad 1/x
Would love an explainer!

If Democrats had wanted a Cabinet that would consider invoking the 25th amendment, their senators should have taken their role of advice and consent more seriously and actually objected to members of the Cabinet. Rubio was a 99-0 confirmation. Why did that happen?
