"And so next year's economy is going to see two big things happening. It's going to see the tariffs hit and it's going to see an enormous slowdown in immigration and in population growth... and that will determine whether that turns out to be a recessionary year or not."

But because Dems want to actually negotiate, suddenly THEY’RE the ones playing politics?

From the boat bombings to deportations to prosecutions, the evidence mounts. And the speaker of the House could get to the bottom of it if he wanted to. Yeah, right.

And won’t harm you anymore, without guarantees though.
Your neighbor breaks into your house, occupies 4 rooms, shoots at your family for 3 years. Trump's "peace deal": neighbor keeps all 4 rooms PLUS gets a 5th room they never reached. You can only own 1 gun and can't join neighborhood watch. Neighbor promises not to rob anyone else. #TrumpUkraineDeal

This report focuses on recent voting rights struggles in Fayette County, Tennessee, which — as the report details — was the site of a significant struggle over voting rights in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

NEW: You've heard SCOTUS could soon upend the balance in power in Congress by gutting the VRA. But that'd also be a huge blow to Black voting power in *local* governments.
In west Tennessee, Black residents just won a new county map this year—but those gains now look very fragile.

The Supreme Court may further erode the Voting Rights Act in an upcoming decision. Beyond affecting Congress, that would reverberate across local governments nationwide.

What's weirdly missing from coverage of the Dem video is any discussion of this Q: Is it reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal orders, or not? The answer is, yes, of course it is.
On the boat bombings, for instance, evidence is extensive. Here's a look at it:
