Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year.
“We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.”

Hasan needs to shut the hell up.
He has nothing to do with Talarico’s campaign. Talarico’s campaign is the success of Talarico’s morals, policies and his hard working team’s outreach to the people of Texas.
This narcissist trying to insert himself into the race only serves GOP content farms.
He had the audacity to go on to say:
-To win Talarico needs to be *more* progressive and court the far left… *IN TEXAS*
And
-We can’t let him become a “do nothing Democrat”
Yeah.
The guy who sits on his ass streaming all day watching news and reading other people’s tweets is worried that the most effective Democratic legislator in the history of Texas’ state legislature, will “do nothing”
All this asshat does is farm controversy while giving GOP fodder. Truly daft.
I’ve never been selected for jury duty either. Courts must be fake. MAGA discovering that 1,000 people can be a sample of millions is their toughest math problem yet. These idiots are dumb af.
@L0m3z@christopherrufo It's worth noting that this discussion is taking place between a Jew and an Italian, two groups who would have been identified as being outside the homogenous comfort zone less than a century ago.
Watching Rams fans complain about a missed PI call on an out route at the 5 yard line on the right side of the field with 1 minute to go in the 4th quarter with Sean Payton as the opposing coach

Annie E. Casey Foundation KIDS COUNT
@pitdesi All these folks are going to try to claim they never saw it coming. It’s imperative they’re never allowed to forget their complicity in it. Fuck Peter Thiel.
Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."
Got our latest poll back at @TheArgumentMag. I've scoured a lot of data and cut it a bunch of different ways, but no matter *what* you do, all I can say is: JFC, this is one of the worst environments I have ever seen for Republicans, and literally all of it is just due to Trump.
"They seem genuinely convinced they're members of some landed Southern aristocracy because they own a blazer, drink bourbon, and once stood near a chandelier. That's what makes Ole Miss arrogance so spectacular.
Texas arrogance is backed by money, academics, and championships. Alabama arrogance is backed by the greatest football dynasty the sport has ever seen.
Ole Miss arrogance is backed by a bow tie, a tailgate, and a deeply held conviction that putting on loafers magically transforms a Mississippi redneck into a member of the British peerage. They're not even pretending to be athletic royalty anymore. They've skipped directly to pretending they're actual royalty. The Grove isn't Versailles. Oxford isn't the Hamptons. And wearing pastel pants while getting hammered under a tent doesn't make you high society. It makes you a redneck with a dress code.”

President Trump Explains Trade Deficits:
“If we buy 2 billion dollars worth of Bananas from Brazil, we’re actually losing 2 billion dollars. So if we stop eating bananas, we actually save 2 billion dollars”.
It’s just simple Economics.
