Back in May in my Stop the Preses newsletter, I wrote about the news media soft-pedaling Trump's deep corruption.
stopthepresses.news
Stop calling it ‘a break from norms.’ Call it Trump corruption.
It’s the media’s job to make sure everyone knows the president is a crook

Iowa farmers are desperately trying to tell leaders how difficult the economy has become for small business owners. Instead of listening, Trump blames Democrats for high prices and calls polls showing competitive Congressional races "fake."

Trump says the polls are “fake.” Iowa farmers say they’re “bleeding money.”
As Republicans face competitive midterm races, Iowa farmers sound the alarm over soaring costs.

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
nbcnews.com
America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

Trump made promises to lower costs, protect Medicaid, and end the war fast. Republicans in Congress backed the policies that broke every one of them. Now, months later, they own the results: record prices, cut healthcare, and a war that's ongoing.
