Within the first chapter of 107 the reason for the election loss became clear—they wanted to preserve Biden's legacy. A willingness to break with Biden as necessary, even if that meant throwing him under the bus, would have been required to win.

PSA for US news consumers: a 90-day tariff de-escalation is not "a landmark trade deal." It's equivalent to a temporary cease fire—it has no long term value unless and until it leads to a more durable resolution. Reporting otherwise is click bait. You're welcome.

@briantylercohen.bsky.social just clearly stated a critical truth: "Trump will always attack {but when we fight back we} send a message that Trump desperately needs to hear…he isn't the king of this country." plus.briantylercohen.com/p/trump-fo…
Trump will always attack. It’s his nature. It’s his brand. It’s all he knows. But every law firm, every media outlet, every CEO, every governor, every university, every American should recognize that when we stand together and fight back, we will not only win, but send a message that Trump desperately needs to hear, which is that he isn’t the king of this country, no matter how hard he tries to manifest that into reality. —Brian Tyler Cohen

The claim by #POTUS47 that this first quarter economic contraction wasn't his fault because "I wasn't President until January 20th" is pathetic. (very on brand for him) You were president for 72 of the 91 days in the quarter (79%) but blame it on the guy who was president for 20 days.
