That is patently false: not only do immigrants score better than native-born Americans in tests, the mere presence of immigrants improve test scores for all students, when factoring in white flight

There's no evidence Trump has ever driven a damn car.
He has never mowed a lawn.
He has never shoveled a walk.
He has never changed a lightbulb.
He has never washed dishes.
He has said he never ever changed a diaper and he has four children.

something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

They want to repeat lies to make them true in people's minds. Every time you hear these lies, remind people that Biden left Donald Trump an economy that The Economist called envy of the world. ZERO% chance of a recession. Donald's regime has dragged it down into a stagflation.
Karoline Leavitt lies with impunity on Fox & Friends: "Don't forget -- a year ago, President Trump inherited the worst inflation crisis in modern American history from the Biden administration."

China was the largest export market for American farmers in 2024. They bought 27 metric tons of soybeans last year. They stopped buying in 2025 when Trump started his trade war. These are simple, obvious, basic facts. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Leavitt: "President Trump convinced President Xi to continue purchasing again American soybeans, which is something China wasn't doing under the last administration because they had no respect for President Biden or the country at the time."

it is actually kind of bananas how unitary executive theorists have taken a straightforward clause requiring the president to "faithfully execute the laws" and transformed it into a grant for the exercise of limitless unenumerated power.
The Take Care Clause was a byproduct of the lessons learned from the Glorious Revolution that the executive should not be able to dispense with the law promulgated by the legislature. It was not a constitutional provision to empower the executive branch— but to constrain it!

ICE agent shoves a home security camera as she approaches a home. Masks aren't enough. They don't want you to have any record of their behavior. Even the tiniest threat of accountability is too much. Keep recording anyway.

They're acknowledging the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, which Catholics celebrate today. But it has nothing to do with Jesus's conception. It celebrates that MARY was conceived without the "stain of original sin." They can't even pander correctly. — A Very Lapsed Catholic

The American greatness we voted for.
1) Impose massive tariffs on China
2) China retaliates by ending its soybean imports
3) Cut deal w/ China so they'll buy our soybeans
4) China buys only 20%, so far, of what it agreed to purchase
5) Offer $12 billion to US farmers so they don't go bankrupt

Q: Everyone knows that J6 was a Fed-surrection to set you and your supporters up. What's your gut instinct about the new pipe bomber suspect taken into custody?
TRUMP: I really appreciate that question. It's sort of a statement, and I appreciate it very much. The whole thing was a Democrat hoax.
