So unemployment up. Jobless claims up. Inflation up. GDP down. Dollar plummeting. More wars abroad. Soldiers on the streets at home. By every objective metric, this administration is a disaster.

This is Kristi Noem admitting that Homeland Security is currently occupying Los Angeles, not to protect citizens, but for purely *political* reasons. Yes, she really is that stupid.
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."
Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Trump doesn’t understand why everyone hates Putin today since the Soviet Union was our ally in WWII, but everyone likes Japan and Germany now. He says he can’t understand it and neither can Putin. Dumbest MF on the planet.

This is chilling to watch and utterly unacceptable in the United States of America.
As a former Senator, I’m calling on all current members to speak out on behalf of Sen. Padilla and defend him and the Senate against these outrageous attacks.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Never, ever believe anything this regime says about what it can do and even less about what it says it cannot. Especially lies designed to keep us from fighting them. Authoritarianism seeks to erode our will to resist.

In April, the Trump administration vowed to sign trade deals with as many as 90 countries in 90 days — a tenth of the time it usually takes to reach a trade deal, according to a New York Times analysis. About 60 days later, one has been announced.
How Hard It Is to Make Trade Deals
It takes years to close a typical trade deal. How do the current talks compare?

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
They're trying to get away with it again.
