It's annoying that voters think the President has a big lever that he can pull to make Economy Good or Economy Bad, and that's just wrong most of the time. But in this case, yeah. Trump literally just pulled the Economy Bad lever and so now we're gonna have a recession.

New poll shows a mere 38% approve of Trump’s handling of education. There is and has been an opening on education for Dems. Problem is that they, by & large, don’t know what to do w/ education either. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
it was never about women’s sports. it was never about bathrooms. it was always about whether trans people should be allowed to exist period. at least the GOP is taking the mask off.

We should not have to live this way.
Yeah, nationality is a protected class under the Civil Rights Act too. So if you're a psychopath and burn an American flag at a work event targeting your coworker for being American, that's legally actionable too. Way to completely miss the point.

Earlier this year, SCOTUS tried to construct a stupid legal framework where the President was allowed to destroy basically all independent institutions except for the Federal Reserve, which was deemed too economically important. Unsurprisingly, that was not enough for Trump.

In light of FBI raid on #JohnBolton's house this morning, here is the backstory that started it all. There is serious legal risk for Bolton. But timing of this raid is highly - and I mean highly - suspicious. Looks like retaliatory, vindictive behavior. Yet, expected.

👀-read between the lines- 👀 If Trump's FBI is gonna start raids on political enemies, they're softening the initial outrage by starting with a neocon - a rare species that has no almost defenders in either party. This is the frog in boiling water method.

Not even remotely true. According to the Fed, the median and average sales prices for a home peaked in mid-2022 and have been slowly falling — despite several million migrants arriving. But due to high interest rates, the Home Price Index is still slowly rising.
