USUALLY presidents getting blame or taking credit for gas prices (or local crime rates, or etc etc) is dumb, because it’s a commodity whose price is set on a global market, USUALLY for reasons having little to do with the White House’s occupant. But this is 100% directly Trump’s fault.
Women lead the way and turn out in numbers.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.

How does one gain experience in writing about politics?
Yes, I can search the internet. I hold a humble BA in Political Science and am about to make a change.
The Flex Loan, a new type of payday loan pioneered by Advance Financial in Tennessee, allows residents to borrow up to $4,000 at a 279.5% interest rate.
It has burdened low-income borrowers while generating huge profits for lenders.

Millions of Epstein files suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council says.
I missed The Onion.
Trump to direct Pentagon to buy buggy whips to revive horse&buggy industry.

So sad. Sending prayers for the family.
It’s about time!
We are finding out the identities of the previously unseen powers in the world and how they think and operate. Listen to Breaking Points. They’ve been reporting on the Epstein story honestly for years.
Noem was only following orders.
Where have we heard that before?
Good luck with that.
Administrative leave? I thought they were just assigned to other locations.
Perhaps Homan was sent to take control of the narrative.
Noem and Miller must be investigated.
They are going down the list of amendments now. And the entire ICE action is the most obvious violation of the Fourth Amendment this country has ever seen.
Noem lies again. Why am I not surprised.
The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.
"What stayed with Amundson most, she said, was not the adrenaline of the moment but the realization that came while she was holding the agent’s head in her hands and keeping his airway open.
“I was hit so hard with the fact that this man would not do this for me,” she said.'"
Several agents hold a person down and sprays them with pepper spray.

The cruelty is the point. They want to instill fear and provoke violence.
It’s not about immigration.

This is the man behind Trump’s push to “buy” Greenland. Boycott all his companies: Estée Lauder, Clinique, MAC cosmetics, La Mer, Bobbi Brown, Aveda. Sad to name these but byeeeee to all of them.
He wears a T-shirt that reads “Kash Money” in the office. At the FBI HQ.
I’d laugh at the clown show but they’re doing serious damage to our country.
Can they be removed one at a time before the midterms?
If it's ok for America to kidnap Maduro and his wife and put them on trial in the US, I guess it's ok for Europe to kidnap Trump and Melania and put them on trial in The Hague.
