"We had run almost 1,000 simulations, and between $3 and $4 is a fair number if you can have access to that food. I just saw new numbers that were run: a full day, meaning 3 full square meals and a snack, is about $15.64."

🔥 MACRON (throwing shade at Trump): "We do prefer respect to bullies…. And we prefer rule of law to brutality. Having a place like Europe which is predictable, loyal, and where you know the rule of the game is the rule of law, it's a good place.”

We have an entire class of Democratic "leadership" that has been told that it's dangerous and extreme to say this, and that does not understand that what Democrats want is for their leaders to articulate what they believe and why they believe it. That should not be as big an ask as it apparently is.

Incredible intersection:
As Republians "investigate" a protest of a pastor who's also a top ICE official (and block investigation of the ICE agent whose act of murder spurred these protests), a Catholic school is now on a mini school shooter-esque lockdown out of fear of ICE agents outside.

CARNEY: “.. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.” 🔥
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

"Trump has been promising to release plans for “great” health care throughout his two presidential terms, going back to the very first days of his initial campaign." He hasn't managed it this time, either:
Trump’s ‘Great Healthcare Plan’ Is Not Great. It’s Not Even a Plan.
And this is not what it looks like when you’re serious about lawmaking.
