Yesterday, Kansas City opened a $350M transit enhancement putting hundreds of thousands of Kansas Citians in walking distance to rail. We then broke ground on $350M in housing bringing 1100+ units of mixed income to the Eastside.

Cities get sh*t done.

Let’s keep it going, KC.

You can literally watch Reagan’s words side-by-side with Canada’s ad.

They didn’t misrepresent anything.

Trump is lying. Again. As usual.

I hate Bill Clinton but seriously what are you talking about?

That was a former president talking to the attorney general, not the current head of state talking to another current head of state with whom the U.S. has security guarantees and a jet bribe.

And the “golden” ballroom just reinforces that everything has to be the color of urine. Hair, escalators, office decor, ballrooms. The list is endless.

Reagan loved a free hand. That's what Trump & Reagan have in common. But Reagan's default opposition to tariffs couldn't be clearer. Here's the uncut original.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t5Q...

As perhaps you've heard, last week I placed new duties on some Japanese products in response to Japan's inability to enforce their trade agreement with us on electronic devices called semiconductors. Now, imposing such tariffs or trade barriers and restrictions of any kind are steps that I am loath to take. And in a moment I'll mention the sound economic reasons for this: that over the long run such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer. But the Japanese semiconductors were a special case. We had clear evidence that Japanese companies were engaging in unfair trade practices that violated an agreement between Japan and the United States. We expect our trading partners to live up to their agreements. As I've often said: Our commitment to free trade is also a commitment to fair trade.

I think the Reagan ad is most effective not by the topic but by reminding everyone that presidents don't have to sound like insane morons.

White folks, please watch the video.

This (moderate) level of racial competency is VERY rare for someone of this demo; white folks should’ve been listening to and learning from people like this for decades.

Sadly, it’s too late to dismantle racism, now. Racism has won.
White America chose it instead of a hyper-qualified Black Woman. 🙁

What else can you do?

Because sharing this video is a start, but not nearly enough.

As Republicans keep up attacks on congressional maps, they should get used to seeing my law firm in court. On Wednesday, North Carolina Republicans enacted a newly gerrymandered map that targets Black voters to create an additional seat for a white Republican. The next day my law firm sued.

Republicans Keep Gerrymandering and I Keep Suing

Since both Apple and Microsoft are on the list now is as good a time as any to brush up on Linux, if you don't already use it. Not only will you save money, you have greater control over your own operating system.

KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS! They won't give us facts, our imaginations have a right to run amok.
Who, want, when, where, how much, in exchange for what? Why is exposure so damaging, why?

RELEASE the EPSTEIN FILES and NAMES OF CLIENTS, BACKERS, PROFITEERS. Protect the victims.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
