The 11-year NBA veteran said Friday on X that he was "officially declaring" for the 2027 WNBA Draft in a sarcasm-laden post that immediately drew social media condemnation. Freedom is capitalizing on the recent controversy surrounding statements made by the Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham.

"An emerging critique of Democratic decision-making," the chapter states, "is there are too many people who have become generationally wealthy off politics and drive too much of the decision-making within the ecosystem. This is deeply frustrating to many... who want to try a different set of politics but keep banging their heads up against a system proven to be inflexible and self-enriching." The chapter adds that "many of the people who worked at the highest levels of the party" are "financially secure," and thus potentially insulated "from the realities many Americans were encountering in their lives."

"A big storm will hit, and there's all these cascades of effects where cities are rebuilding or households are displaced or social networks are broken. These cascades have serious consequences for public health."

I really think any equivocation between what Iran has done vs US is just from people that hate the US.

I don't get the sense at anytime prior to that the US hated Iran, after that .. yeah.
Surely Trump must have improved the local economy through ongoing paramilitary occupation of Minneapolis.
idk he might have, but this is just the local government overspending, not a lack of revenues.
Minneapolis expects total city revenue to reach roughly $2.3 billion for the upcoming budget year, up from $1.91 billion in the 2025 adopted budget.

I mean I could budget $400M over my income and complain about Trump. But then again, I am not an idiot.
Trump doesn't know what he's doing. Nor does he care, he only ran to stay out of prison

And you don't know propaganda, nor do you care about being hoodwinked, so long as you're angry.
