Trump promised to get prices down on day one of his presidency. I'm holding him to that claim. For month 5 prices for basic grocery items have increased 3.4% overall since Biden's last month as president. I've brought receipts via FRED - Federal Reserve Economic Data.

Karen Bass: "The 100 National Guard soldiers that are downtown LA are guarding one federal building, so there is no need for this...it's all part of an experiment that is taking place in Los Angeles...what happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor & mayor?"

Cops are shooting impact munitions madly. They're shooting at people who are simply moving along on sidewalks and leaving the area as they were ordered to do. No one in this video is throwing anything at police. Mounted cops are coming up behind people and hitting them with extra long riot batons.

Now that Pam Bondi has legalized bribery, she's busy announcing felony spitting charges on Xitter. This is the "rebellion" over which Trump has federalized CA's National Guard. Felony spitting.

When was the last time we wondered about who puts things on shelves? Today, those invisible ones are seen only to be criminalized for fleeing poverty and oppression. Are they really stealing a glamorous life from us? Pass it on if you stand with those who work in the shadows. #OnYourSide

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.
