Much can be said about what is happening with state authority in the U.S. rn, but when the police stop to take a photo of exuberant fans after the first back-to-back #worldseries titles in 25 years, #lapd is showing what serve & protect means. #yamamoto would tip his hat. . .

The “businessman” president actually has no clue how markets work - shocking. It’s highly likely that his tariffs have destroyed demand for U.S. soybeans going forward and socialist policies will be used to subsidize farmers indefinitely.

The shutdown is delaying Trump's farm bailout. Farmers say it won't be enough even when it happens.

I love it when the right fights among themselves about 1A rights, simply indicating that they really don't care about 1A rights. Ha, shocker! Your champion is no champion

Yet another example of extraordinary hypocrisy. When any Republican says cities headed by Dems are a failure due to homelessness, cite these cuts. Just as the president couldn’t care less about higher prices, Rs couldn’t care less about the homeless

Trump administration has gutted an agency that coordinates homelessness policy

All staff were put on leave at the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness. Congress created the entity in 1987 and, among other things, it helped drive down veterans homelessness.

His complete misunderstanding of basic economics is astonishing, although not surprising given his lack of basic knowledge about just about everything. Stay in your lane, which is to the right with the tricycles.

For working class and lower income households, the #cfpb has been a stalwart entity to successfully counter bad behavior by the financial industry. Make no doubt about it, loosening overdraft rules is a tax on consumers benefitting the banking industry.

Republicans look to loosen rules on overdraft fees and payment apps

GOP leaders took their first steps toward nixing a $5 cap on bank overdraft fees and a regulation that would subject major digital payment apps like Venmo and Apple Pay to stricter oversight.

The next time you hear, "you gotta clean your floors, you gotta clean your forests", cite these firings. Where's the $ going to come from to "clean the floors" when you're already firing the people that do exactly that?
