The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

As more info comes in this needs to be said: if it wasn’t some left wing radical that did it, and it appears it wasn’t, there need to be massive pushback because they are STILL pretending it’s some culture war and it is only in their own minds

Imagine you are Jay Powell right now. You were about to get a softish landing and cement your legacy as one of the greatest central bankers if not civil servants of all time. Then out of nowhere some lunatic sets the economy on fire and you are fighting another crisis.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

That is part of the crisis we face.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.

This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

This is dangerous and un-American. It's clear that Donald Trump wants to eliminate constitutional checks and balances and give himself sole power over our government.

Republicans in Congress must start standing up for constitutional checks and balances and stop this madness.

For the past 2yrs: Employment way up, unemployment way down, wages up, the market up, inflation down, personal spending up. We’ve had a better post-Covid recovery than any other industrialized nation. Trump will lie about it, but the truth is: TRUMP IS INHERITING A GREAT ECONOMY. Please pass it on.
