I cannot emphasize this enough; people were live-tweeting imaginary gun battles between North Carolina sheriffs and FEMA stormtroopers, and the richest man in the world was one of them. People can now live in their own imaginary worlds if they want to, and they're choosing to, at scale.
Like, an entire discourse emerged around the LIE that Biden abandoned North Carolina after Helene. I do not think even a whisper will emerge around the very real fact that Trump is doing exactly this.

I never bought Booker as a POTUS nominee.

Has the wrong energy. Extremely performative. All that grandstanding and then does votes like this.

Where was the filibustering when a critical vote was in the balance?

Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination.

Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France.

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight.

Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like.

We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

Amazon will be listing a $100 product at $245, while customers can find the same product on Temu for $100, with a $145 tax at checkout.

Guess which one the search engines will prioritize?
If knee-bending Jeff Bezos and Amazon refuse to inform customers about Trump's tariffs, other companies should step in. Clearly label their added costs as TRUMP's tariffs. Slap Trump's name right on them. He's weak on this issue, not strong.
