Trump is wildly wrong when it comes to crime — violent crime rates are lower than they’ve ever been in the last 15 years. They’re also down 26% from Trump’s 2020 levels. @Morning_Joe

not even meaning to be ironic but the months of rhetoric of the need to "save democracy" are somewhat qualified when, within the Democratic party, it is taboo to even suggest that another presidential candidate be considered; even to hint at such an option, in theory, will result…
