His actions have led to higher prices for groceries, housing, utility bills, and more.
Of course the president will do anything to avoid talking about his economic failures.

This make you uncomfortable? Good! Because this isn’t history, it’s reality and what ICE has normalized.

Difficult when trump speaks for putin. If the US acted as honest broker willing to put a fraction of the pressure he puts on Ukraine on Russia, the war could be over quickly.
But trump is not smart enough for that and too attached to the greater opportunities for corruption from deals with Russia

There is active work under way to reconcile the territorial issue of Donetsk at US-mediated talks to end Russia's war in Ukraine, US Secretary of State Rubio said on Wednesday, describing the disagreement as a key remaining issue that is "very difficult" to resolve.

We should pay more attention to what people are saying behind the scenes, and Frumpy’s earshot. Especially when they deny it to avoid his demented wrath.

Keir Starmer blocking Andy Burnham isn’t leadership — it’s cowardice.
He’s putting his own job, job that he's doing badly, ahead of the country and the party. Once again, no vision, just self-preservation.
If he carries on like this, he won’t stop Farage — he’ll hand him power.

This morning, I signed on to Articles of Impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
Secretary Noem & DHS employees have systemically violated the rights and privacy of Americans, terrorized our cities, and obstructed Congress.

I know I keep writing about this,but the level of delusion is staggering. How do so many people think Reform will 'save the country' when it’s led by defected Tories from the worst cabinet in UK history?It’s not change, just same failures,new logo,and people cheering like it’s a revival,not a rerun.

Trump doesn’t know how to do deals - he’s a multiple bankrupt after all.
He only knows how to bully.

Trump just hiked tariffs on South Korea because their legislature hasn’t approved his deal yet.
That’s not trade policy, it’s a timer.
Vote on his schedule or pay a penalty.
Allies don’t comply to that. They build exits.

Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."
