INGRAHAM: “Why are people saying they’re anxious about the economy?”
TRUMP: “The polls are fake 🤥. The economy is the strongest ever 🤥. We have $20 Trillion coming in 🤥 . Largely because of the tariffs 🤥.”
Every sentence is a lie.

On Veterans Day, we honor those who served and commit to serving them in return — not just in words, but in actions.
Affordability and a real commitment to mental health are essential to ensure that every veteran can build a future here in New York City.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

Yes, I’m disappointed by the capitulation, but the Democrats can continue to expose the Trump Republicans’ cruelty and hostility toward working people struggling to get by—especially when they fail to pass a standalone vote on healthcare subsidies.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.
