[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Just go fucking vote.

And get ten of your family and friends to vote.

trump and GOP are going to try to suppress your vote. Find a way around it and overcome the obstacles they put before you.

That’s how you stick it to the man.

That’s how America wins.

November is coming.

North Carolina A&T students marched an hour each way to vote on the first day of early voting after their campus polling site was removed by the Guilford County Elections Board. Proud 👏🏽

Dear @WhiteHouse: FYI

“Internal GOP polling shows that support for Republican candidates cratered after the party’s midterm convention in Dallas, with voters saying the party was not attuned to their economic concerns, according to a Republican strategist briefed on the numbers”

I look forward to Katie Zacharia serving as special press secretary at the Shield of the Americas with all the other disgraced trump officials.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: President Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, was fired after less than a week on the job, according to people familiar with the matter.  https://t.co/IDuom8hTtW

@motown200 Wait till you see my Cleveland Browns tweets.

Last week I visited Straiker in Northern California. They are a super important company because they make AI agent kill switches.

Humans must be in control of AI, not the other way around.

Congress must pass the bipartisan AI Kill Switch Act by Rep Nathaniel Moran and me.

September PPI came in hot, hot, hot.

1.3% in September vs. expectations of .5%.

The policies of trump and Republicans are wrecking our economy.

November is coming.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

🚨 Fox Business on the latest bad inflation data: "I'm going to break in. We are getting hot hot hot PPI. Our month over month headline numbers are 1.3% vs. estimates of %0.5 ... a huge jump from the month prior ... this looks like a huge advancement, much higher than expected ... diesel feeds through to every corner of this economy"

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

-Gas prices increased

-CPI increased

-Grocery prices increased

What are trump enablers focused on? See below.

Another let them eat cake moment.

November is coming.

What are trump and Republicans hiding about their tax law that primarily benefitted the top 1%?

[POLITICO @politico]

The Trump administration is delaying the release of detailed data showing how Republicans’ 2025 tax cuts affected millions of Americans’ taxes, even as it tries to sell voters on the law ahead of the midterms.

September CPI report shows inflation rising, again. This hot CPI report is exhibit number 327 that the policies of trump and Republicans are wrecking our economy.

November is coming.

[Joseph Brusuelas @joebrusuelas]

US September CPI: Inflation arrived hot in September on the back of rising energy prices, transportation costs and consumer electronics all combined to drive the CPI 0.6% higher on the month and 3.7% from one year ago. Core inflation advanced at a 0.3% m/m & 2.6% pace y/y.

Real average hourly earnings were down 0.1% and declined 0.7% from one year ago. Gasoline prices were up 9.1% and fuel oil 15.3% on the month. Service sector prices increased 0.4% and are up 3.1% from one year ago.

The topline inflation implies real wages declined for the sixth consecutive month which is intensifying the very real cost of living crisis that a majority of American households are experiencing.

The September CPI data provided little in the way of disinflation evidence. This points towards more than one additional rate hike from the Fed.

The problem is not an accelerated broadening out of inflation. The problem is stubborn and sticky inflation that is not going to decline below 3% in topline CPI, PCE or more importantly core PCE anytime soon which will demand a higher policy rate.

The data, which captures volatile energy, oil and distillate dynamics due to the war in Iran, is likely not sufficient to push the Fed to hike rates at its October meeting. That will wait until December where we see a 25-basis point hike to close out the year.

One cannot take an American state bar exam in China. Bar exams are administered at designated testing locations in each state of the union.

Are Katie Zacharia and trump lying when they say she is an attorney?

If not, then she needs to disclose in what state she passed the bar.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear Press Secretary @KatieZacharia: Are you an attorney as trump claims? The definition is below.

[The New Republic @newrepublic]

There is no evidence that Katie Zacharia was admitted to practice law in a single state or Washington, D.C. https://t.co/Vix96gUUP2

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

@JimmyGilbertWL Well, I do choose to be a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan.

Also, do you have evidence that Katie Zacharia passed a state bar exam?

Q: You said Zacharia is an attorney. Where did she pass the bar exam? What state?

Greece is a critical ally of the U.S. Greece deserves better than to have a corrupt and incompetent U.S. Ambassador. Glad Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned. She never should have been appointed or confirmed.

Perhaps she will join disgraced Kristi Noem at the Shield of the Americas.

There are entirely empty sections in the arena where Trump is currently hosting a rally in Youngstown, Ohio.

Both parties see this area as key to winning the races for Senate and governor.

These photos were taken as Trump walked on stage.
