The con worked, until it didn’t?

ROGAN: “I really thought they were just going to go after the criminals… I really thought there was enough gang members.”

ME: He still doesn’t get it. That’s what Trump wanted everyone to believe. They’re not even trying to go after “the criminals”.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

This line didn’t make sense the first time he said it, and it doesn’t make sense now.

The fact that they continue to demonize millions of patriotic Americans engaging in peaceful protest tells you everything you need to know about them.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair Charles Dickens

For the second time, Johnson has recessed the House to protect Trump by helping Republicans avoid voting on the release of the Epstein files.

This time, the truth isn’t the only casualty—Americans’ healthcare and livelihoods are being taken down with it.

#TrumpsShutdownDragsOn

House Republicans have worked a total of 14 days since July 25th.
You can't blame a shutdown on Democrats when the entire Republican Party hasn't even bothered to show up for work.

The WH budget for FY26 includes a proposed $18B cut to NIH, a $5B cut to NASA, a $5B cut to NSF, a $5B cut to CDC, and a $5B cut to EPA. You don't need a math/econ PhD to see that a $40B bailout to Argentina covers this and more right here in the USA.

Bessent says US considers doubling aid to Argentina to $40B

The assistance is aimed at bolstering the country's collapsing currency and calming economic unrest before Oct. 26 midterm elections.
