Small businesses across the country, including here in Nevada, are preparing for higher prices again. They’re facing higher shipping costs, higher tariff costs, and higher prices across their supply chains.

Reminder folks: the Republican party has found themselves in bed with a lot of deranged individuals who see disobeying Trump as sedition and murdering a politician('s family) as a logistical problem rather than an ethical one.
What are they wait for? They could strip Johnson TODAY. What’s stopping them, especially if they’re all about to bail anyway
They have but one life to give for their country.

I think people have this idea that impeachment works like a discharge petition. Get 218 votes in favor, and they get their hearings in the house.
And it doesn't. The only thing they could do is force Johnson to send it to Jim Jordan, who would promptly ignore it.
Just like he's ignoring these.

Except the reality is that Schumer tried to save something that voters threw away.
The chance to save the subsidies was by voting for Harris who campaigned on renewing them.
In 2024.
Schumer at this point is just trying to save the antivaxers from the complications of getting COVID.

The big, glaring, obvious difference this meme ignores is that Mamdani stood his ground and offered no concessions, and Trump praised him.
Schumer sold-out the Democrats and their supporters on key issues, while Trump turned him into a punchline.
But, sure...🙄

Largely because Harris dared to suggest taxing the rich.
If you actually want taxes to go up on the rich like you claim, you're going to have to accept that they're going to lie about your candidate, lie about the consequences of such actions, and extort you by raising prices to stop it.

The partisan divide has grown, too. The wealthiest 100 tended to give more to Republicans than to Democrats before last year. But giving to the GOP spiked in 2024, with *84%* of donations going to back Republicans or conservative PACs.

I would've told you his 18-29 poll numbers must be awful and he's going to use Mamdani to try to rehabilitate that image.
Which is exactly what happened.

Imagine if someone a few weeks ago told you that Trump would call Marjorie Taylor Greene a “traitor” and drive her out of the House AND praise Mamdani as a guy who will do a good job as mayor. What would you have said to that?

So basically a bunch of anti woke bigwigs bought enough shares to control the Target board - and killed it.
Meanwhile Cosco's shareholders voted 98% in favor of DEI - and its thriving.
A key issue with public companies is that who the shareholders are matters just as much as who the CEO is.

truly impressive how much Target’s success relied on Woke
turns out that’s all that really differentiated it from its competitors and when it gave customers a reason to go elsewhere they had no reason to come back

By comparison, the casualty radius of a mk84 2000 lb bomb is 400 meters.
That theoretically puts the casualty radius of this at 1200 meters.
Or 3/4 of a mile.
That's not including the shrapnel radius, which is much higher.
Absolutely NO (legal) reason to drop this in a population center.

The CEO doesn't set prices or make rules in a publicly owned company.
The board in conjunction with their shareholders do.
So killing a CEO does nothing except replace them with one who passes on the costs of increased private security to policy holders.

My hot take is that the GOP is going to blame all of Trump's 2nd term authoritarianism and bigotry on Vance because it prevents them from having to admit they were conned.

Because dear leader can never be wrong.
