Trainwreck? In October 2024, The Economist called Biden's economy "the envy of the world."
BARTIROMO: What are you expecting the president's economic message to be?
SEN. McCORMICK: I think the message is that we inherited a trainwreck from the Biden administration and we made a lot of progress

Affordability concerns are real because:
- Tariffs raise import costs
- Deportations make it harder to harvest crops
- Attacking Obamacare hikes premiums
- Budget deficits raise mortgage payments
- Undermining the Fed risks inflation.

🧵Just remember—Reagan appointed a crooked dirtbag named William S. Sessions to run the FBI.
By the time Clinton got into office, allegations of misconduct were piling up, so Sessions was fired.
He then became the personal attorney of the boss-of-all-bosses of the Russian mob, Semion Mogelevich.

Republicans use the "I'm not familiar with that" dodge several times a day now, and if a reporters or anchor isn't ready and willing to shut them down as soon as they try it, that means they're either incompetent at their job or a willing accomplice to the lies.
Either way, never trust them again.

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:
1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.
2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

Hal Lambert is a fucking idiot. Adam Mockler is correct, tariffs are a regressive tax that disproportionately affects lower income families. The level of stupidity that comes out of these people’s mouths is palpable. Mockler is really good at this‼️🔥💥🔥

The Trump administration said on Friday that it would waive an $11 million fine levied against Southwest Airlines over the company’s 2022 holiday travel meltdown, when the airline canceled nearly 17,000 flights. The penalty had been part of a fine imposed by the Biden administration.

Libraries and museums get federal funding back after Trump cuts
Earlier this year, the Trump administration gutted the Institute of Museum and Library Services, leading to canceled federal grants. Now, after a court order, those grants are being reinstated.
