Klobuchar: “For a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team … and imply that you were in another city, that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia, and then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology.”

Sept 2024: Trump promises, “We’re going to bring [mortgage rates] down very fast. ... We will drive down the rates, so you will be able to pay 2% again.” Sept 2026: Trump’s war pushes mortgage rates to 7% as he stops talking about the issue. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Mortgage rates reach 7%, despite Trump’s misguided 2024 campaign promises
Until fairly recently, the president wanted the public to see him as directly responsible for mortgage rates. I think we know why he changed course.

Lots of coverage of Trump on renaming New Mexico, New America. But people are too polite to point out Trump has no interest in renaming New England or New Hampshire or New Jersey or New York. It's Mexico and Mexicans and Latinos he wants to taunt. It's childish idiocy, but it's also a dog whistle.
