It sure would be nice if DOJ gave a tenth as much of a shit when it comes to compensating them.

NEW: DOJ has been in settlement talks with Michael Flynn -- Trump's first national security adviser seeking $50M for his prosecution by ex-special counsel Robert Mueller -- and Stefan Passantino, a Trump I White House lawyer who accused the House Jan. 6 committee of privacy violations

there are many reasons many jewish and non-jewish anti-fascist organizers do not take ADL seriously as an ally. This type of Islamophobia-pandering is too typical and part of precisely why they are perceived as a political arm of the GOP and sometimes even the far right of Israeli politics.

Before Trump’s second idiotic trade war, the US accounted for around 15% of Chinese exports.
Kevin Hassett's theory of tariffs: "China has got to sell a lot of stuff to us to maintain political stability. And so if we put a tariff on their stuff, then they cut the price so that our consumer is basically still able to demand as much stuff as they need to sell to be politically stable."

The rest of the world knows what time it is. Only American voters are clueless.
Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"
