The orange guy..He of deep intellectual laziness...is cherry picking the greatest failures of a mediocre former president who even in HIS final speech before leaving office admitted tariffs were not the way to grow an economy in a climate of increasing globalization.

Let’s be very clear here. North Carolina Republicans are trying to:

*steal
*cheat
*disenfranchise
*lie

their way to a state Supreme Court seat they lost at the ballot box.

Stay focused on this; oppose their shameful actions and protect democracy.

Massive irony a guy named Johnson is trying to bury news that GOP Pervs in The House were hitting up on a young female aide with explicit texts about THEIR Johnsons. Just soooooo Family and Christian Values!
Exclusive: An aide to House Speaker Mike Johnson advised Republican colleagues against subpoenaing former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson as part of their investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack to prevent the release of sexually explicit texts that lawmakers sent her.

Buuuuuuuutttt...people voted the orange guy back in for cheap eggs! I'm sooooo confused
The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Donald never gets caught up in those pesky "details"

I think a lot of folks are with the Holy Father on this one. Deport known criminals yes (actually they are deported). But not innocent workers waiting for a amnesty hearing. And good luck changing the 14th Amendment to get rid of birthright citizenship.
Pope Francis called plans by President Donald Trump for the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants a “disgrace,” signaling the return of the rocky relationship that defined the pontiff’s ties with the first Trump White House.
