Trump also claimed US economy is "hottest country anywhere in the world." Markets suggest otherwise.
Stock markets in the U.S. are up ~16% since he took office. Not bad, for sure, but markets everywhere else in the world are up ~DOUBLE that

The only ax to grind that I have is against lazy thinking, of which this post is great example. You are equating the lionization of Mangione by a small number of Americans — in a manner no different from classic veneration of the outlaw — with propaganda in defense of state-sanctioned murder.
Anyone without a strange axe to grind (even that journeyman @jodyrosen.bsky.social) knows there’s nothing remotely objectionable about advocating for basic decency in a country where Good’s murder is welcomed and Luigi Mangione is lionized.

Rob Manfred is actively trying to destroy baseball. He has to resign…
Commissioner Rob Manfred said he is considering the possibility of a split season or an in-season tournament.
But he added that adjusting the league schedule is more complicated than in other sports.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

My man, the stated policy of your administration is that Canada should become an American state, but Canadians running an accurate ad is a threat to American sovereignty?
Bessent: "I've read that Ontario is spending up to $75 million on these advertisements and it's propaganda coming across our border to decry the tariffs. The premiere of Ontario seems to have come off the rails a little ... this is interference in US sovereign matters."

No only should he be “overlooked,” the Committee should release a statement saying they would never knowingly give the award to a fascist pedophile.
There's a prestige that has eluded President Trump: the Nobel Peace Prize.
The annual award, set to be announced Friday, has occupied Trump for months, along with a recurring complaint that he’ll be overlooked. https://wapo.st/3KIatAf
