TENNESSEE FARMERS: “The tariffs pass down to the consumer… had to take on 2nd & 3rd jobs… 4 blood pressure pills a day…”
Why won’t Republicans fight for them and ask Trump to stop the pain instead of supporting this like @MattForTN Van Epps & @rustygrills & @MarshaBlackburn?

It is clearly deeply annoying for a sociopath when a human collapses nearby and distracts attention from him.
incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

I've waited my whole life to hear a New York mayor say things like this
"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

I couldn’t make it through the entire thing, if you do—will someone tell me how many times he refers to Biden being “the worst President”?!
I counted four mentions, but I am certain there are many, many more. Biden apparently occupies a rent-free palace in his head!

You cannot trust any statement any branch of the government makes at this point.
After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were.
The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.
