These declines are MASSIVE.
And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING.
“Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?”
THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it.
Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

I hope Trump puts up a lot of posts about this.
MORE from Jack Smith:
"The decision to bring charges against President Trump was mine, but the basis for those charges rests entirely with President Trump and his actions, as alleged in the indictments returned by grand juries in two different districts."

"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

The isolationist right was never isolationist. They just wanted to shun alliances and international law while embarking on their own bizarre imperial adventures.
"The administration genuinely seems to believe it can pull back from the world stage yet somehow still tell the rest of the world what to do. And it has a very firm idea of what it wants Europe to do, which is 'be as racist and xenophobic as Donald Trump.'" — @snipy.bsky.social

NEW POLL: Trump at an all-time low on the economy.
Instead of waking up and doing the right thing for Americans, he’s bellyaching about why we aren’t grateful for the stock market that we’ve watched him manipulate for his rich buddies with his on-and-off tariffs.
The disconnect in one graphic.

Two Swiss lawmakers are calling for a bribery investigation into gifts Trump got from a delegation seeking lower tariffs. The group gave Trump an engraved gold bar and a Rolex table clock. Around a week and a half later, Trump lowered the tariffs.

It was a train wreck. Stupidly planned on short notice.
This is a recount from a reporter who attended Trump’s parade. You should check it out.
She describes Trump’s supporters enduring “real misery” before the parade even started.
Contrast that w/the millions of us who enthusiastically endured heat and rain to protest Trump and stand up for democracy.
