And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

Whoa! Immigrants come here with nothing and the next thing you know they’re buying houses that established citizens cannot afford? Those enterprising newcomers sound like just the sort of folks we need. Never mind that JD’s premise is as BS as his 30M number.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Execution without trial. And this smarmy Newsmax guy says it's "pure." Pure what? Pure murder?

House Dems should refuse to show up to give Mike Johnson a quorum until he gavels them into session, swears in Rep Grijalva, she signs the petition to get Epstein files released. Do that business firstFIRST. If he renegs, which of course he will, all the Dems leave and deny him a quorum for the CR.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

Mailing out pitiful checks got one of the Bushes reelected. It's such a pathetic way to pander for votes. Even if it could happen, it shouldn't.
Literally no other person in politics gets their brain farts framed as if they can just be materialized out of thin air the way political news media does for Trump. Endless credulity from the press bc they like him & want him to win.
“.. I haven’t spoken to the president about this yet,” he said. 🤡
