Bessent is such a dishonest and third-rate hack. As it happens, average blue state income is about 25 percent higher than average red state income. Why doesn’t Bessent say, You know the best way to bring your income up? Move from a red state to a blue state.
Bessent: "You know the best way to bring your inflation rate down? Move from a blue state to a red state. Blue state inflation is half a percent higher."

There is nothing “new” is the Russia peace plan endorsed by Trump/Witkoff. It’s the same outlandish Putin demands. Shocked that Trump/Rubio are refloating this garbage again. Thought they had learned how ridiculous Putins demands were.

Your pronouncements have a weak track record. 99% lies, 1% fantasies. Delete your account.

A wingnut who treats his followers like morons. Democrats forced release of these files while GOP fought it. Wise up!
A terrified Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) is confronted by the harsh reality that the Democrat Party will be obliterated by the Epstein files being released. He says, “So what?” 89% of Epstein’s campaign donations went to Democrats. https://t.co/7nM9c0DfGU

Remember this? Fox News tried coming after Denmark's social safety net. This Danish politician's legendary fact check shows us all how it’s done. Via @nowthisnews

🚨BREAKING: The NYT just confirmed the worst: More than 200 career DOJ attorneys have been fired - and thousands more chose to resign. Why? Because prosecutors were pushed to drop cases, chase evidence that didn’t exist, and abandon real threats. Trump has corrupted the DOJ.
As I stated to the NYT, those with government power must do the right thing when no one is looking. The exodus of prosecutors from the Trump DOJ opens us to terrorism, price gauging, & corruption. In Congress, I’ll rebuild the guardrails they tore down. https://t.co/FSt9ZL4Mb6

“You can refuse illegal orders.” Pretty insane that we are living in a moment where a video message like this a necessary.
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

The misogyny they have cultivated among young men repels young women. They’re destroying families as usual.
@NikkiMcR these are the same people who freak out over fertility rates shrinking mostly because teenaged girls aren't getting pregnant much anymore.

Is it possible that even Kernen is beginning to realize that the lies Trump admin officials peddle on his show daily to softball questions and no serious follow-ups has made his show a complete joke?
KERNEN: If we're reversing some tariffs to try to help affordability, isn't that acknowledging that tariffs were responsible for some of the higher prices and inflation? HASSETT: This is nothing new
