I'm telling you, he's reading the room. When Trump killed two white people, Jeffries was like, there's no point holding back now. With the Obamas video, he can really lean.
Here is the video of Hakeem Jeffries saying "fuck Donald Trump" for posting that racist video of the Obamas. (originally from his official Instagram account) www.instagram.com/reel/DUbeoy5...

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Before everyone panics, I’m going to say it again: EOs are not laws. They do not change laws. They are essentially little more than a president’s wishes.
Any EOs he signs will be challenged or, to be honest, ignored by the states. Because states control elections, not the president.

Changing the jobs report to be quarterly instead of monthly doesn't solve the problem of needing to wait for revisions. You can do a monthly jobs report 90 days in arrears to solve that if you want. But putting a report out in April for Q1 will still need to be revised. Weirdos.
