KARL: Tariffs have been removed from some food items. How soon do we expect prices on those goods will go down?
HASSETT: The prices for those goods weren't necessarily going up just because of tariffs
KARL: So they might not go down?

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

What happened in Indiana this week was huge.
Much bigger than just two House seats.
Mike Pence, Mitch Daniels and a broad democracy coalition stopped the mid-decade election rigging…in a GOP-dominated state.
A HUGE win!!!! And a huge defeat for Vance and Trump.

"We seethe over the betrayal by a supposedly democratic society that quickly averts its collective eyes and allows predators ... to get away with it and reinvent themselves right in front of our eyes as we’re punished if we speak out about our basic rights to survival and safety," Donna Ladd wrote.
The Epstein Saga Is Not a Game. It’s About Protecting Women.

There was always something inexplicably strange about the recent government shutdown. From the beginning, it was crystal clear what Democrats wanted: lower health care costs, affordability and for a lawless president to start obeying the law.
But what about the Republicans?

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Here's a fun fact for you: Charles Drew, a Black man, is the "father of the blood bank." He figured out how to store, ship and transfuse blood.
But he resigned from the Red Cross because they insisted on "segregating" blood by race.

I asked a DoorDash spokesperson today if the company had concluded from its report that inflation had been tamed. DoorDash spokesperson told me, "We did not write that."
