If it seems like the only sentence that Republicans can form these days consists of a noun, verb, and illegal immigrant—that’s because they have to resort to outright lies to defend their truly God-awful health care policies.

The cost of coffee has jumped nearly 21% compared to a year ago.
A big reason is Trump’s 50% tariff on goods from Brazil—the world’s largest coffee producer and America’s main supplier.

Trump's scam of inventing "mortgage fraud" charges against his foes is failing. So he's set to fire a top prosecutor who is failing to bring charges, ABC reports.
Failing to bring corrupt prosecutions is now a firing offense. This is profound misconduct.
