Trump & GOP inherited a roaring Biden economy, record job growth, low unemployment, falling inflation. In less than a year, they torched it. Jobs are collapsing, prices are spiking, debt is exploding, families are gasping for air. They own this wreckage. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops").
Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.

![Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties.
Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours before agents finally let him go.
“I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up,” Jones said. “I asked if they had a warrant, and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreib66z6racbfo5llgukbvmldxq44zaa7nqetkcs5cwxfez6xcec5oy@jpeg)

Rather remarkable that the Trump administration response to a government shutdown is "let's inflict as much pain as possible on as many Americans as possible"

Right: My read of this is that Epstein recruited TWO victims at Mar-a-Lago.
But it may be he recruited the daughter of a member.

Trump said he stopped talking to Epstein because "He stole people who worked for me."
That's an extremely weird way to describe why you'd stop talking to a notorious sex trafficker--especially when at least one of Epstein's victims was recruited from Mar-a-Lago.

REPORTER: What caused the breach between you and Epstein?
TRUMP: That's such old history. Very easy to explain, but I don't want to waste your time by explaining it. He did something that was inappropriate. He hired help and I said 'don't ever do that again.' I never went to the island.
