Exactly!
Last night’s “affordability” rally was a gift to the Democrats. Trump championed austerity and said tariffs are making farmers rich. Midterm ads will replay it nonstop. You will not find a single farmer who says they got rich from his tariff policy.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Water seems like a pretty strong negotiating lever that Mexico could use against the USA. An agreement signed in 1944 to give water to the USA? In the Trump era, I don’t know why Mexico wouldn’t rip it up and say “ok US, here is how this is going to go now”.

They aren’t going after criminals, they are going after Black and brown people, because this isn’t about immigration, it’s about white supremacy.

Forcing children to give birth to rapists’ offspring should be morally repugnant to everyone.
The decision of if, when, and how to have a child is deeply personal.
People must have the freedom to make the decision of when or if to grow their families without political interference. Full stop.

A terrific message we should all hold elected people accountable to.
Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:
