Trump is trying to boost the U.S. economy by making it harder for Americans to trade with the rest of the world.
He is also promising to destroy Iran's economy by making it harder for Iranians to trade with the rest of the world.
Ossoff: They hunted the vice president to kill him. They built a gallows on the Capitol lawn. They assaulted police officers with flagpoles and bear spray, and they tried to seize the presidency for Donald Trump.
And to this day, Mike Collins supports that violent attempt to overturn the election. He honors and defends them. He went to visit them in jail.
She “declined?” “Declined”? You can’t just decline to get a security clearance. You either get one or you don’t have a job. So much dysfunction in this White House. When will the GOP have had enough? Why risk the country for this? https://t.co/X0unu3P0FX
Meet Natalie Harp, the aide so close to Trump she once rode in an SUV trunk to accompany him
“As the motorcade idled outside his Trump Tower residence, staffers confronted a more immediate problem: There wasn’t room for Harp, the hyper-loyal aide whose devotion to Trump had quickly entrenched her within his orbit.
A screaming match in the lobby ensued, with Harp insisting that Trump had personally asked her to attend the court appearance, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. Denied a seat but determined not to be left behind, Harp jumped into an SUV trunk, according to the two sources and confirmed by a photo obtained by CNN.” W @adamcancryn

If you are interested in Russia’s electoral backing of Trump, read David Shimer’s book or Kathleen Hall Jamieson’s book or my "Road to Unfreedom." The people who want our country to break have always wanted this guy to be president.
Labor force participation has fallen to 61.5% — the lowest since 2021, erasing the entire post-pandemic recovery.
Since Trump's inauguration, over a million people have left the job market — which explains part of the reason the unemployment rate dropped last month.
We are ten years into allegations of widespread election fraud - only for elections Trump or republicans lose, mind you - for which Trump and allies have either not produced evidence, or claimed evidence which was subsequently debunked. And blatant contradictions - such as celebrating wins under the same laws and practices while confidently declaring theft for any losses - are now the norm.
Destroying confidence in the electoral system and other pillars of democracy (media, courts) is their goal, it’s not just pathetic whining. Then they use that lack of confidence to push strongman powers, restrictive voter suppression laws, and other crackdowns.
Hassett, translated: Now that we have fewer immigrants, we have fewer jobs. I know that contradicts what we told you when we said immigrants were taking your jobs. I just figured you rubes would fall for the lump of labor fallacy.
Trump has been threatening such reductions to a number of European and Asian allies going back to his first term. This particular announcement comes the same day he spoke with Putin - and it’s a development Russia would certainly welcome.
