The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.
Don't give them one.

Trump is trying to manufacture a crisis in LA County — deploying troops not for order, but to create chaos.
Don’t take the bait. Never use violence or harm law enforcement.

Whitehouse on Trump’s attacks on Leonard Leo: This whole thing is hysterical…
The fact that Trump is furious with him right now may signal a dawning realization: that he actually might not have truly chosen his Supreme Court appointees.

So the White House story is now:
“We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.”
The country is now run by thugs and idiots.

Never forget: Trump was handed an awesome economy. He was handed the best post-Covid economy of ANY industrialized nation. He was handed an economy with employment way up, consumer spending way up, the markets way up, & inflation down. And in only 13 weeks, he’s fucked it all up.

This "tariffs are sometimes good" nonsense is literally the worst possible Democratic message.

Corrupt judges let a criminal get away with treason and run for president. Propagandists masquerading as journalists lied to enough people that the criminal won. Then the criminal sold a half share in the presidency to the world's richest man, whom no one voted for. That's what happened, folks.
