Mockler: Wealth inequality isn't being driven by immigration. Wealth inequality is being driven by the rich getting rich due to Trump's policies….

Knowles: No, it’s migration

Louis: I guarantee you it is not migrants to New York City that are driving the prices that high.

"Republicans are never going to fix that problem because they don’t want to. .. While that’s been a usual state of affairs for years, the Trump admin is turbo-charging it. Somehow, the alleged daycare fraud in Minnesota .. is now the basis for freezing all childcare funding."

New in PN: The blame for alleged fraud in Minnesota belongs to conservatives

"Republican policies have created a perfect vicious cycle: Privatize services, let private companies run amok, then declare that the government is the problem. And the Trump administration is turbo-charging it."

Fact!
Every time billionaires say they’re gonna leave if you raise their taxes, outlets like the Times credulously regurgitate the propaganda. Meanwhile they don’t move cause these guys WANT to live in California and Manhattan and not Podunk and Bumfuck where the taxes are nonexistent.

Trump says Rob Reiner was “one of the people behind” the “Russia hoax,” which I hesitate to call stupid because it resets the curve for stupidity so dramatically.
Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?

TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded

BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

aggregating red v blue states is an incredibly, incredibly stupid way to make this comparison, which reduces to "move somewhere housing isn't going nuts"

I don’t understand why Dems have to choose? “Trump is a corrupt billionaire pedo whose self-serving policies have made your life more expensive” is not that hard of a message imo
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...
