HELL YEAH: The federal prosecutor who resigned when Trump’s DOJ tried to force him to drop the Eric Adams corruption case - is running for Congress to FLIP Pennsylvania’s 7th district. And the best part? He can win. Blast this to space and watch his video. Let’s win this seat!

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

The President's tariff over-reach forced the (American) courts to rule against him, which in turn has severely undermined America's bargaining power in trade negotiations. It's (another) pointless unforced error from an Administration that won't think before it acts.

I honestly think that this is a sanctionable brief. It falsely claims that the District Court "forc[ed] the government to detain [8 men] at a military base in Djibouti." This is false. As Judge Murphy himself repeatedly emphasized, it was the DOJ that requested the option of holding them overseas!

A new analysis finds that projected growth from the GOP budget's tax cuts would only cover 2.7% of their $3.8T cost. That's nowhere close to the cuts "paying for themselves." Notice how nobody ever asks, "but how will we pay for it" when it comes to trickle-down economics?

Trump’s efforts to withhold military and intelligence support to Ukraine did not force that country to surrender, thank God for that. His threat to impose vigorous sanctions on Russia if it did not make peace proved as insubstantial as air. Now he wants to walk away. The art of the incompetent.
