This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

As a farmer, this is 100% pure hog manure. The problems we are seeing right now are totally on Trump, the tariffs, and bailing out Argentina.

For the first time in polling history, more Americans sympathize with Palestinians over Israelis.

And the shift just isn’t with Democrats.

Younger Republicans — those under 50 — are 41 points less likely than older Republicans to side with Israelis.

Almost 60% of the world's electrolyzers are produced by Chinese factories, and they're getting better in terms of cost and build quality.

Trump’s Hydrogen Cuts Put the US Further Behind China on Key Green Tech

China already produces 60% of the world’s electrolyzers, and it continues to provide policy support to bring down the costs of the clean fuel.

John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was the ONLY DEMOCRAT to vote against advancing the measure.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

I see he’s leading by example, as far as “toning down the rhetoric.” Every day, he is focused on causing pain to as many perceived enemies as possible.

Trump has forfeited the awe and respect formerly given to the presidency. I don’t know if any future president will ever live Trump down.
In pre-Trump movies, the advent of the president on a scene was greeted with a hush and a sense that great events were imminent.
Not any more. We wince.
