Trump's speech on combating inflation turns to grievances about immigrants
On the road in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, President Trump said he objected to taking immigrants from "hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia and many other countries."

in other news, our grotesquely corrupt Congress just killed "right to repair" military reforms that saw massive bipartisan support and would have saved taxpayers billions of dollars
Congress quietly strips right-to-repair provisions from 2026 NDAA despite wide support
"I don't know how to interpret this, other than to say that industry prevailed in their influence over Congress," Greg Williams said.

This Georgia flip is in a district that the GOP drew to drown Democratic voters in Athens into a neighboring red county, Oconee.
But tonight, Dems in Athens were out in FULL FORCE to swamp that gerrymander.

The person who Republicans want to have complete control over literally everything with zero checks and balances knows less about how things work than most 5th graders.
there is no available evidence that donald trump understands what a tariff is, what a trade deficit is, and what the national debt is.
The way Trump talks about the problems he caused by unilaterally imposing tariffs is fairly insane, even by his standards.

WTF?
“Elissa, a 13-year old girl from Mexico, informed the judge she had no luck in finding legal representation. After answering a few clarifying questions for the Judge, McLean recommended the girl be removed to Mexico, prompting the judge to ask if she fears returning. ‘Sí,’ yes, she replied.”
There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

The follow up to his eventual explanation should be:
1)it was a US jury that convicted him.
2) Emil Bove, your pick for the third circuit and your own former defense attorney, helped lead the prosecution?
