Springsteen releases new song: "Streets of Minneapolis":
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst...
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst...

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Per independent experts, layoffs last month were over 153K — the worst October in 22 years.
Over 1 million workers have been laid off this year, partially because of AI and chaotic mismanagement of the economy.

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year.
Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses.
No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.

Democrats DO have good messengers who show real leadership. Let’s put those people in charge.
This is simple. Congress should not willingly pay the bills to fund the most serious assault on political freedom in our lifetime - an assault that may collapse democracy as we know it if we don't fight back.

The economy sucks because Trump is badly mismanaging it.
But soon his propaganda operation will erase the truth about our economy and replace it with lies.
It's hard to underscore how dangerous this moment is - when truth disappears. Stop pretending it's normal.

First the Fed, now the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Trump would rather cook the books than clean up the mess he's made.
But no amount of manipulation will hide what Americans are feeling: higher prices and a tough job market.

A reminder that as Trump advances a bill to give himself a huge tax cut and f--k over working people, he's probably pocketed a billion dollars this week from illegally exploiting the Presidency.
Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, slot - Trump is a walking embodiment of the 7 deadly sins.

Trump made $400m from his dinner tomorrow night. Along with the plane + improvements the dude pocketed $1b this week leveraging the Presidency. $1 billion - while he cuts health care for seniors and working people and raises prices on all of us.
