When law enforcement need to elicit public support & sympathy, suddenly bodycam, dashcam, and even helicopter footage is plentiful & released within 24 hours. Note 2 other helicopters on the ground for rapid support/medevac. When ICE shoots someone they handcuff & watch them bleed out for 10 mins.
So Trump screwed Cornyn over by endorsing ole one-eye Ken Paxton. Now Cornyn is gonna set fire to whatever he can on the way out. And that's ok by me.
Rick Springfield is 4 years older than RFK, Jr and just 4 years younger than Donald Trump...
Five of America's largest banks reported earnings today. Record earnings. "Double digit net income growth from every business segment" at Bank of America. "AI helped cut 40% of jobs in some areas" at JP Morgan. Trump ia helping businesses & billionaires at your expense.
"Almost 4 kids"?? I don't know about you but it sure sounds like JD realizes that a fetus isn't a child.
US World Cup Fans: Please don't worry or be sad - the USA has a team that has won not three but FOUR World Cup titles.
I'm sure everyone knows but Flo Balogun, who plays for the U.S. Men's National Soccer (Football) Team, was only born here because his mother's airline wouldn't fly her home to London at 7 months pregnant. She was on a *tourist visa.* He is a U.S. citizen by BIRTHRIGHT, Donald.
ICE agents are just firing at vehicles during stops, then lying to the public about it. It's only a matter of time before an innocent bystander is killed. ICE agents & vehicles *must* be equipped with cameras that record audio + video. The public and Congress should have full access to all video.
This is a **horrible** idea. Rather than go aftet the scammers, rather than come up with ways to prevent them from contacting the elderly and other vulnerable persons, they are going to pass a law permitting banks and financial instituions to block withdrawals. Banks will misuse this for SURE.
If you paid more for products because of tariffs, just realize it became a donation to corporations. There is no chance whatsoever that YOU are gonna see one cent of that tariff refund. So certain is Nike that they have already factored it into their profits...
Interest rates and managing inflation and unemployment should **NEVER** be a decision based on politics or political pressure. Nixon did this in the 1970's and it led to an economic disaster with a decade of stagflation and out of control inflation. The prime lending rate reached as high as 21.50%
Does everyone remember the lag between when Trump attacked Iran and when gas prices went up? ME NEITHER. Because prices jumped immediately to reflect the US starting a war with Iran. Yet its "gonna take time" for prices to come down once the war ends. So prices go up fast, come down slow. Got it!
An Israeli soldier shoots and kills a 7 MONTH OLD BABY. Israel: "We just can't understand the unusually high concentration of terrorists who want to attack our nation. Who is creating all these dang terrorists? Oh must be religious extremism..."
This is your reminder that a large supply of poorly paying jobs is not healthy. Saying that "companies are hiring" is the wrong phrase to use when the pay is so bad that no one will apply. This is where we are currently.
Selecting unintelligent people to run a department of national intelligence...wild times we live in.
This is perhaps the dumbest and most disturbing thing a US President could say given the wild number of weapons and munitions we are giving Israel. Trump once remarked that Bibi was calling and asking for weapons and bombs he had never heard of but he gave them to them anyway.
The ONLY part of SpaceX/xAI/Grok/Twitter/etc etc that's investable is the ISP business: Starlink. Launching rockets isnt profitable. xAI is a massive money pit. Only the internet service provider business makes any money. Elon is diluting his losing plays into a massive IPO - AGAIN. HARD PASS.
Turning Point USA advocated for a reduction in gun regulations and increased gun ownership. They also advocated for a reduction in public health regulations, esp during the Covid pandemic, calling restrictions meant to protect the public tyrannical. The founders died of gun violence and covid.
I just cant figure out how these Texas republicans keep winning these obviously completely fair and normal looking districts.
King of broken promises and failed predictions is mad about broken promises and failed predictions.
Oh...so red states aren't all that great for business after all. Texas is great for billionaires that already have massive, established business. People like Elon Musk can slide into Greg's DM's and negotiate a sweetheart deal.
