No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a murder. But a co-defendant testified against him under the threat of capital punishment. He was sentenced to death by a 10-2 jury vote. Only two states allow death sentences even when all jurors don’t agree. Alabama plans to execute him next week.

Trump said that rioters on January 6 had "no choice" but to assault police officers
If any Democrat in the country publicly justified the assault of a police officer it is all you would ever hear about for years

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries.

Last time Trump imposed tariffs on China
They retaliated against American soybean farmers-who then lost all their Chinese buyers
And the farmers had to get bailed out by subsidies
So not only were the tariffs an abject failure
They wound up costing the American people $23 billion in subsidies

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

PCE inflation has fallen to 2.1%—nearly at its 2% target—and incomes are up nearly $4,000.
The economy has grown 12.6% under President Biden—more than any presidential term this century.
16 million jobs created and the lowest unemployment in 50 years.
🚨 Do not let Trump take any credit for this.
