Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

Hey, just want to mumble that this is wildly illegal and inappropriate and would prompt impeachment proceedings if we still had a functional Congress instead of one run by a blind, deaf and mute Renfeld wannabe.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

They don’t really care about hungry kids. Just political power. Hold the line, Democrats.

A tweet from user Maine (@TheMaineWonk) says: “You literally voted to cut SNAP by $1 billion over 10 years.” It responds to a tweet from Senator Markwayne Mullin, which reads: “FACT: Oklahomans will lose food stamps (SNAP) if 5 Senate Dems don’t grow a backbone and join us to end the Chuck Schumer Shutdown.” The image below shows Mullin in an office wearing a white shirt and red tie, standing in front of bookshelves with framed photos, with text across the video reading: “What’s going on?”

Pritzker on Fox: "He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. It isn't about fighting crime. He said he's going after the worst of the worst. That's not what they're doing. They are literally after black and brown people because of the color of their skin."

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.
