we see very clearly in public polling that people in california and D.C. hate the deployments and that americans broadly disapprove of them, but here we have an assertion that the smart strategy is to avoid any discussion of the situation in favor of a pivot to, you guessed it, kitchen table issues.

A man who was just getting names and badges for officers was wrongfully detained in D.C.

You may recall the president launched a memecoin, $TRUMP, upon inauguration (despite saying he was not “a big fan” of crypto in his first term). Then in April he offered the top 220 investors a private dinner with him.
Since then, the Trump coin’s value has sunk 88%. trib.al/2bLCNcY
