The White House can’t back up Trump’s $17 trillion claim because it’s smoke and mirrors. This isn’t an economic victory, it’s a sales pitch built on fiction.

My new post strips away the bulls*it and shows you why what's left is a con dressed up as success.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

Tens of millions of people have died from Covid.

Every country should have responded with record investments in public health infrastructure.

Instead the US government is putting us all at greater risk of more catastrophes by firing hundreds of top scientists whose job is to prevent outbreaks.

And this is why the police should not comply with the Feds. If they can gas them & lie about how things went down, what makes the police think they won't shoot at them???

MAGA Republicans can’t resist their urge to control everything in the pursuit of power.

This story needs to be promoted everywhere. The Chicago Sun Times gathered the facts locally & published what really happened.

Don’t let billionaire MSM bury the truth with their misinformation.
