This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.
I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Next week it'll be September. So far no sign of Republicans standing up to Trump in any meaningful way.
Schumer tells me Republicans might try to jam Democrats again in September, but thinks Trump will be less popular then and Republican appropriators might be more willing to stand up to him. He said they refused to do so now.

it's truly wild that the Democrats have watched all the protest movements of the past few years and seen it as an opportunity to cultivate zero young leaders

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes.
Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items.
If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.

Schumer and Jeffries should condemn this and demand an apology from the President - or they should resign, or be primaried.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear:
The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here.
Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead.
This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

Don’t worry the tariff price hikes are temporary. They will be over as soon as hundreds of thousands businesses spend hundreds of billions to build factories in the US, hire workers, train them and all the while hope Trump doesn’t change his mind on tariffs thus wasting their investment.
