Higher prices are coming. However, with heads of agencies being Trump sycophants or terrified, who will know the national impact. In any event, people will feel those higher prices when they shop. IOW: don't piss on me and tell me it's raining.

This move comes amid mounting speculation over whether President Donald Trump could grant the British socialite a pardon.

There will be no pardon until after the mid-terms. This move is to make her confinement a bit more tolerable until then. If, during the interview with the Deputy AG she confided that she had specific information about Trump's culpability, this move will make it easier for her to join Epstein in the after life.

FWIW: The reason for ICE agents wearing masks is not to protect them; it is so that the type of people filling those jobs won't be so obvious i.e. former J6 criminals, recent South African immigrants, disgraced cops; neo nazis, racists, ex military with less than honorable discharges, etc. IOW: a bunch of low lifes.

Those masks are the modern day equivalent of the white hoods worn by the KKK during the Jim Crow era.

Where's the money coming from to rehab these facilities and bring them back on line?

Dems need to start an ad/messaging campaign themed "can you afford to be a republican". As the theme implies, ads/messaging would ask people to consider the impact on their lives if government provided services that they depend upon are taken away by republicans.

Two-thirds of DOJ Unit Defending Trump Policies in Court Have Quit

Doesn't matter. Attorneys from other divisions will be transferred in to replace those that quit. Then the recent transferees will quit only to be replaced by even more attorneys from other divisions; and so on and so on. Pretty soon, the only attorneys that will be pleading cases for the DOJ will be from the law firms that Trump bullied into providing free legal services.

Trump will not be content with lobbyists pleading the cases for poor countries. The leaders of these countries MUST come before Trump and prostrate themselves if they expect to get anything out of Trump.

Cuomo knows that he is not going to win. He and Adams are setting the stage for a republican to win.

Let's see: Americans kidnapped and murdered in Israel. Has the State Department issued a travel advisory warning Americans about the dangers of traveling to Israel?

No country, single handedly, can stand against the economic might of the US. However, together, they have a chance. They need to band together and put their response to Trump tariffs on automatic and move on to other, more pressing issues i.e. codify into law that they will impose the exact same tariff rate that the US imposes. After that law has been put into place, break off any further negotiation with the US until a new POTUS is installed.

I am upset that people have lost their lives and property. However, I am not upset that Mother Nature is reclaiming property that should never have been built upon in the first place! The fact that Texas (and the US for that matter) are not willing to continually spend money to shore up properties built in flood plains and other disaster prone areas is a good thing and should be applauded.

That said, government should be obligated to inform developers of the risks of building in a particular area. And, developers should be obligated to inform buyers of those risks whenever a property is being sold. In fact, the risks should be codified in the deed or rental contracts.

Let's stop building in danger zones and expecting government bailouts when disaster strikes.

SOP for TACO Trump

Senator Mitch McConnell just privately admitted that many Republicans are getting major blowback from their "people back home" about the bill's deep Medicaid cuts, adding that "they'll get over it.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. ----, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Lyndon B. Johnson

It's very apparent that Trump's cabinet secretaries are nothing but figureheads. Gabbard and now Hegseth? Why do people allow themselves to be demeaned like this? Proximity to power? They need to resign.

I'm reminded of the movie "Dirty Dozen" when the Germans bordered themselves up in the bomb shelter. It did not turn out very well for them.

Was this guy a Trump supporter? Did he get what he voted for?

I guess Tulsi Gabbard and the rest of America finally got a clear statement of her role: she is a DEI hire as well as a lackey. When told of Gabbard's position that Iran was years away from having a nuclear weapon, Trump's response was "I don't care what Tulsi Gabbard thinks".

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water! Lobby to impose regulations on the manufacture of Greek yogurt.

Pausing raids on ag and hospitality businesses is just going to draw more immigrants to those industries and the states in which they reside. Hey Iowa, Nebraska! Are you ready for a big influx of migrants?

If their sympathies weren't previously known, at least now, other soldiers know who they are.

All these thugs are doing is putting targets on the backs of Russians. Their actions will have consequences.

I wouldn't expect that announcement to come from an ambassador. It should come from the POTUS or SOS.

When pushed and told to leave, he, as a sitting US senator, should have left. There are consequences to civil disobedience. If you are going to disobey, be prepared to deal with the consequences. This country has a long and storied history of civil disobedience resulting in very positive outcomes. This may eventually turn out to be one of them.

Sen. Alex Padilla

Sen Padilla was out of line. His actions were unbecoming of a US Senator. He should have held his own press conference and berated her there.

To bring the countries to the table to negotiate he purposely put in place high tariffs, never intending to keep them that high - just a negotiation tactic,

That high tariffs was a negotiating tactic was no secret limited to the inner circle. The problem was the uncertainty the public negotiations caused. This very well could have been done behind the scenes by his trade negotiation team. I prefer not to see the POTUS personally and publicly engaged in trade negotiations. I prefer that they work behind the scenes and emerge when there is something important to announce. All of this tariffs on, tariffs off makes it difficult for businesses and investors to plan.
