When I lecture to students about how the apparently thriving economy of the 1920s was really a house of cards just waiting to be knocked down, one of the points I stress is how much a small number of the very rich were essentially propping up consumer spending in unsustainable ways
The top 10% now account for nearly half of all consumer spending.

This is the definition of what Kavanaugh thinks a good stop is. He was detained, based on his accent, and then released after they checked his papers (which presumably Kavanaugh does not carry with him).
He was detained in front of his five year old child, who told him "I don't want to lose you."

This ICE agent and the man he’s accusing of not being a US citizen have the same damn accent. If this were a movie, this scene would be on the cutting room floor.

It's a shame more white men over 35 aren't yelling at them then. Get to work.
ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

Tariffs are a tax on the American people—and Trump is weaponizing them to punish countries who disagree with him.
Instead of lowering your costs he's raising them, all as he tries to take over Greenland and isolate America from our allies.

The entire administration thinks that everything is about trolling. They think trade deals between nations are about posturing instead of being about *trade*. It’s infantile and destructive to everything we have.
