Biden pushed real wage growth into the black for his last year and a half as President, and they stayed there for Trump's first year. Then came the Iran War, and real wage growth is now negative.

Obama tried in 2009 but was blocked by Republicans and when he got federal funding for regional high speed rail, Republican governors refused the money as part of McConnell's "one-term presidency" strategy.

start bulldozing the ballroom on day one, dare the court to enjoin you, and make clear that if they do enjoin you, you will use the double standard to openly accuse them of complicity in Trump’s criminal cult of personality and call for the institution’s complete gutting on that basis

every 6 months the Trump administration realizes lowering tariffs will lower prices, applies this insight to one specific good, and then proceeds to never introspect beyond that. It’s honestly beautiful in its stupidity.
Today, I concluded a deal to substantially lower the price of ground beef for working American families. As everyone knows, under President Biden, beef prices soared at their fastest rate and the American beef herd fell to its smallest size in modern history. As we work to rebuild this herd and help our ranchers, for the next 90 days, the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of product for ground beef to be imported with no out of quota tariff. We have a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25 percent below current market prices. This deal will reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

He has shown nothing but utter disdain & lack of respect for the troops, dead & alive, since 2016, & this has done absolutely nothing to change how the GOP is treated as the default party of national security. It's the military/foreign policy equivalent of "the GOP is the party of deficit hawks."

The origin of this exchange is someone telling me I should be killed and have my corpse mutilated. Another commenter thought that the corpse mutilation was excessive but that I should nevertheless be killed. A third commenter agreed.

Oh yeah...in her formal statement, which failed to congratulate Jeremy (of course), she also referred to him as a "corporate shill." Jeremy has received a total of $16,000 in "corporate PAC" funding...again, out of $1.5 MILLION in funding...$5,000 of which was from the BASF *EMPLOYEE* PAC.

It's worth noting that AIPAC's total contribution to Moss's campaign was literally $1,000...out of over $1.5 million total raised, or 0.067%. Farooqi used this to smear him as an "Israel first, AIPAC powered" candidate. Oh yeah...he happens to be Jewish, quelle surprise.

Speaking of "coming together" post-primary here in Michigan, this is the reaction to the outcome of the MI-11 Democratic primary (Haley Stevens' current House seat) by winner Jeremy Moss's top opponent. It doesn't exactly scream "unity."
It has been the honor of my life to raise my voice against Israel’s genocide and your blood money which is used to buy our elections.

And I will continue to speak out against genocide and injustice, from Gaza to Sudan and beyond.

Confronted with an obvious need for renewable energy, Trump admin officials used taxpayer money to scuttle an offshore wind project. Then they did it again. And again. And again. And this week, again. Total price tag in wasted taxpayer money: ~$4 billion and counting www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
