Graphic from Pete Buttigieg that reads "The job market is getting worse.

Prices and costs are up - not down as Trump promised would happen from "day one."

Americans' everyday lives are very obviously not better than they were a year ago.

And that’s why the President has become so strikingly unpopular."

These guys just keep setting records. I’m sure FOX “News” will run with this as being a big beautiful shutdown.

To everyone claiming there were no arrests at the "No Kings" rallies yesterday, this is simply not true.

No, a Trump supporter was arrested for trying to use a gun against people exercising their First Amendment rights. He was arrested and his tacky Jeep with Trump flags was towed.

Conducting a live fire exercise over a civilian highway is fucking stupid.

It doesn’t really matter if I-5 fell within the minimum acceptable risk threshold for the exercise. Those standards are designed for controlled environments, not civilian highways.

Yesterday, the United States had its biggest protest in history.

But when I look at the New York Times website, I discover that it never happened.

In the middle of all Trump’s distractions, pay attention to the fundamental issue:

While the richest people are getting richer, tens of millions of people are struggling to pay for rent & groceries.

Now 15 million Americans are going to be thrown off health care. Unacceptable.

In 1933, Adolf Hitler was legitimately made Chancellor of Germany. That doesn't mean that everything he did while in that office, like giving himself absolute power like a king, was legitimate, Meghan.

Can’t say I’ve seen too many palm trees here in Illinois.

Maybe in the President’s home state of Florida though.

Trump and White House Busted Using Red State Footage to Show ‘Chaos’ in Chicago

The president posted the deceptive high-octane ICE raid video to his own social media account.

We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it.

But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.

So in western Alaska, thousands of people are homeless due to flooding rains, one person is dead & two people are missing. But yet, the regime hasn't said a word, no thoughts or prayers, nothing.
Once again, they could care less about Americans, it's about enriching themselves through GREED.

NYT made an astounding discovery: the rich have money, the poor don't.

Wealthy Americans Are Spending. People With Less Are Struggling.

Data show a resilient economy. But that largely reflects spending by the rich, while others pull back amid high prices and a weakening labor market.
