I am old enough to remember when Trump said he would lower grocery prices on Day One.

A rare admission from the administration that policy choices have knock-off effects.

In this case: immigration crackdowns raise your grocery bill.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

I think this is a good time to remind everyone:

Pam Bondi is PROTECTING wealthy adult men who have RAPED little girls

AND

she is currently the top law enforcement official in the United States.

Let that sink in.

So Trump gave Argentina a $20 billion bailout and is now building a Qatari military facility in Idaho.

Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering

Organizers largely blew off the rhetoric, but some Democrats online criticized the tone.

Today in history, 2009: President Obama is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” Three other presidents have won: Teddy Roosevelt (1906), Woodrow Wilson (1919) and Jimmy Carter (2002).

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

In 1978, Iranian protests against the Shah featured white robes that would show blood if the Shah's security forces decided to fire on their fellow citizens. The forces backed down. Actions like this work.

All anti-fascist actions are legitimate. Join every one you can. Restore our Constitution.
