Trump yesterday: They have this new word called
"affordability" and [Republicans] don't talk about it enough. Democrats did.

Trump today: I don't want to hear about the affordability.

Get rid of all the old Democrats that care more about being elected to a position than to serving the people!
Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

Quote from Timothy Mellon, who donated $130 million to the U.S. military, so you know who we’re dealing with:

“Black people, in spite of heroic efforts by the "Establishment" to right the wrongs of the past, became even more belligerent and unwilling to pitch in to improve their own situations”.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Here is what I am worried about:
1) This Christmas Russia will take all of Ukraine
2) China will take advantage of the chaos and take Taiwan
3) Trump will be too focused on attacking America to care.
4) Trump will ramp up attacks on American cities

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

The acting CDC Director has no knowledge, training or experience in science/public health. Trump has no knowledge, training or experience in science/public health.

Both are calling to make the MMR vaccine into 3 separate shots, which makes absolutely no scientific or public health sense.

Jim O’Neill joins President Donald Trump’s call for three distinct measles, mumps and rubella shots, claiming a separation would ‘reduce the risk of side effects’ and ‘maximize parental choice’

EXCLUSIVE: In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents, who were posing as business executives, win government contracts in a second Trump administration.

Exactly

@AOC we need someone from the democrats to be filing a lawsuit for every criminal and unconstitutional thing Trump does. His administration needs to be swimming in law suits.

Record heat now outnumbers record cold by more than 3 to 1 in the US. In a normal climate, they’d be equal. After billions of years of natural hot & cold cycles, human forcing has now overtaken nature as the longterm driving force of our present & future climate.
