Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Well he’s lied for years now and people still believe him…
TRUMP: “Our groceries are way down (not true). Everything is way down (not true). Thanksgiving meals 25% down (not true). So I don't want to hear about affordability.”
He’s trying to lie his way through it.
He thinks we are all morons. 🤥

Another reason why we need immigration.
Declining population means caring for parents, grandparents, and other relatives could become even more challenging with fewer professionals and family members to pitch in. n.pr/3JeLMex
The declining population will make it even harder to care for elders

Every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.
He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.
Remember this.

Senator Gallego calling it straight.
Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."
