When Trump admin officials get asked why a certain sector of the economy is so bad, 90% of the time their answers begin with “we inherited.” Did everyone forget what Biden inherited in Jan 2021? Or what Obama inherited in Jan 2009? When are Republicans ever responsible?

Throw the book at whoever killed Charlie Kirk—no matter who it is.
And throw the book at whoever helped enable what Jeffrey Epstein was doing or profited from it personally, professionally, or financially—no matter who it is.
I’m a rule of law guy, like any responsible citizen.

The media is failing voters in Texas. They didn’t just make new maps that ‘favor Republicans’, they made new maps without the voice of the voters that further disenfranchise large communities of Black Texans. These are racist maps through and through.

Kristi Noem didn’t approve FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours after the Texas floods, following a rule she imposed that required her personal sign-off on any operation over $100K.
This is inexcusable. She should resign.

So the Iran Nuclear Deal, a sophisticated multilateral agreement reached by hundreds of adults over a two-year period—which kept us safe for years—has been replaced by a pathetic, obviously false bedtime story about a supposedly obliterated nuclear program being told to us by a known con man

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency.
The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!

We’ve been in touch with local law enforcement in LA. They have the resources they need to meet the moment, and we stand ready to assist should the need arise.
There is no emergency and the President’s order calling in the National Guard is unnecessary and counterproductive.
