If you're in the market for a new car, you might not want to buy a Toyota.
Chairman of Toyota wore MAGA merch at a NASCAR event in Japan.
He said: “I’m not here to argue whether tariffs are good or bad. Every national leader wants to protect their own industry.”

Trump continues his war against Christianity.
Note: The pastor being thrown to the ground and arrested here while protesting outside an ICE facility here — who police single out — appears to be Rev. Michael Woolf, a Baptist pastor (he’s ordained by both American Baptist Churches USA and Alliance of Baptists).
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Lankford lies constantly, mostly in support of the convicted felon, court adjudicated rapist, pedophile. Not a good look for an ordained Baptist minister.
Lankford: "I think now history has proven that Russiagate was a hoax. It was actually formed by James Coney and Brennan and others that were behind the scenes to push a narrative they knew at the time was false." (This is a lie -- would've been nice for Kasie Hunt to point that out.)
