Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.

You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

Epstein and the politics of distraction Scandal individualises corruption, creating a spectacle that redirects anger away from structural power.

WTF is in the Epstein files that trump would wage war to distract from them? www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Obama had to deal with W's recession. Reducing performance to a single stat that has a varying basis (in this case, number of years in office.) is dangerous. Some sources show the mean of annual %s rather than the 4 or 8 year CPI adjusted change to the 1/4 or 1/8 power.

Thanks for the correction! I now realize that the OP's graph is adjusted for inflation unlike the STL Fed data.

Real GDP growth under Biden adjusted for CPI is about 2.7%.

See my reply above, 7.8% so bettered only by FDR during WWII.

Gallup announces, after 88 years, it will no longer track public approval of presidents. Trump's second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The president repeatedly has threatened to sue media and polling firms that portray him negatively.

White House: It was a mistake. It was an intern.

Random observers: He really didn’t see what he posted.

Trump’s EPA Could Limit Its Own Ability to Use New Science to Strengthen Air Pollution Rules In government records that have flown under the radar, the EPA is questioning its legal authority to revise pollution rules more than once when new science shows unacceptable health risks.

After the EPA found that ethylene oxide is 30 times more carcinogenic than previously thought, it updated regulations to protect the people who are most exposed to it.

Now, the agency’s ability to do that for many air pollutants is under threat.

Since this lawless Trump Regime refuses to hold their people accountable for crimes, this will happen again & again & again. Nobody will be prosecuted. Nobody will be fired. And Trump will pardon more wealthy fraudsters and drug dealers who pay $1 million to his PAC. Had enough?

Be clear on the fact that this regime will keep murdering us in broad daylight until the people behind all this are removed from power. Not quarreled with—removed from power.

If any part of you thinks this will get better or stay the same rather than get exponentially worse, stop thinking that way.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

We're about to unfortunately find out.

Minneapolis Man
The victim was an American citizen with no criminal record who had a firearms permit, the city police chief said. Videos of the encounter contradict the federal
government's description of the shooting, a New York Times analysis found.

years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose

People are dying in Trump’s squalid concentration camps | Will Bunch People are dying in ICE detention facilities at nearly 10 times the rate of the Biden years. It will likely get worse.

The ICE deaths we're not talking about

Trump's biggest concentration camp in Texas is rocked by 3 deaths in 33 days - one deemed 'homicide' after a violent encounter with guards. The ICE detention death rate is 10X (!!) Biden's final year

MN Doctor: I learned that Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. Yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone here as we try to fulfill our oath to care for the people of Minnesota

Trump's role model -- his father Fred -- was a KKK-adjacent racist authoritarian-lover who believed "those damn hippies" at Kent State deserved what they got; demonized MLK outwardly; & applauded police violence against The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee protests.
