Turns out Trump wasn't misspeaking in his presser.

NEW!! Apparently, Trump was not misspeaking. Sources tell me that there are indeed plans for Trump to briefly cross into russia after meeting with Putin in Alaska on Friday.

This is going to more look like Trump-Kim DMZ summit

District Attorney Larry Krasner called it. From the first time Krasner publicly debated his then-Democratic primary opponent Patrick F. Dugan, the progressive prosecutor questioned his challenger’s ties to local Republicans and cornered him into denouncing President Donald J. Trump.

inquirer.com

DA Larry Krasner says Dugan is ‘at war with the truth’ and lied when he said he wouldn’t accept Republican nomination

Former Judge Patrick F. Dugan over the weekend changed his mind and said he'd run as a Republican in the race against Larry Krasner for district attorney.

Saw Lynx trending & thought it was about Scotland getting oor big cats back in the wild. But I forgot Lynx have been ruled oot because of farming & livestock It's ironic because l bought this book the other week where Scots were cleared from their wee hooses & land to makeway for sheep🙄 📚💙

A book detailing the Lowland Clearances. Where greedy Clan Cheifs/ landowners (and the desire of Westminster to see the end of the Militaristic Clan Chief structure) cleared poor tennant Scots workers off the land they worked to survive for fecking money making sheep 🐑. No offence to 🐑 but you are symbolic in causing an exodus of Scots to Canada, US and Australia, especially after the failed Jaccobite Rebellion(s) and Acts of Union

So the Senate version of the big beautiful bullshit bill is adding 4.1 trillion to the national debt www.crfb.org/blogs/senate...

The Senate passed a reconciliation bill that would add $4.1 trillion to the national debt through Fiscal Year (FY) 2034, $1.1 trillion more than the House-passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act
(OBBBA). We estimate the legislation would add $5.5 trillion to the debt if made permanent and more if various provisions are removed to comply with the Byrd rule.

And that’s to say nothing of Biden’s robust support for labor, for Lina Khan’s FTC, his efforts to cancel student debt, his appointment of very progressive judges. He snubbed Silicon Valley for the Teamsters and SEIU and the left rewarded him by burning his administration to the ground

I was a Biden skeptic too - until I saw his bloody-minded commitment to fiscal stimulus and full employment, refusing to cower to bosses and employers, refusing to repeat the mistakes of Summers, Geithner, and Emanuel. For his efforts he was rewarded with a historic boom and the contempt of the left

The left still has no actual critique of Biden’s economic record other than “Dems lost the election, proving it was bad.” Incomes rose a lot, especially at the low end; inflation was not bad after a brief spike; Biden consistently pursued full employment. What is the criticism here?
