Congratulations to the people of Chandler, AZ, who — despite a fierce lobbying campaign — defeated a massive AI data center that would have raised utility bills and drained scarce water.
Oligarchs want working Americans to foot the bill while they profit. Not gonna happen!

one of the worst days of the crumbling Trump presidency: loses In indiana, loses in Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, loses in Tish James grand jury, loses in House vote to override union busting EO, and FBI embarrassed in inability to answer basic questions about ANTIFA (which is not an organization)

Yes Americans famously love austerity, especially when it’s pitched to them by a guy who was currently building a gold leafed ball room
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

I can’t believe how much of the Trump era is about solving problems that *don’t* exist while making all the problems that *do* exist, worse.
There is no one who thinks the biggest problem with air travel right now is not having an area to do pull-ups.

Affordability concerns are real because:
- Tariffs raise import costs
- Deportations make it harder to harvest crops
- Attacking Obamacare hikes premiums
- Budget deficits raise mortgage payments
- Undermining the Fed risks inflation.
It's not a hoax; it's a policy choice.
