PSA: when Trump, @MarshaBlackburn, @BrentTaylorTN and other Republicans mock “socialism” what they’re really mocking is the idea of caring about other people

What? A sudden 30% decline in national housing prices would be a sign we're in like a serious depression. After the housing bubble burst in 2006/2007, national house prices fell "only" 27% peak to trough fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CSUSH...

In 1942 when ~10 Japanese-American students from Willamette University in Salem, OR were transported to internment camps, a group of white students went to the train station to express solidarity with them. They encountered a group of angry, racist American Legion members celebrating the occasion.

Trump's insecure and childish inability to ever admit to making a mistake is really going to catch up with him on this very public, obvious mistake. He's making possibly the worst verbal flub in American presidential history even worse by stamping his little feet in foolish defiance.

There wasn’t a single Democratic elected official who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death. Not one. Donald Trump is openly celebrating Robert Mueller’s death and no Republicans are condemning him. Both sides are not the same.

Administrative subpoenas intended to unmask critics of government action are just the tip of the speech-chilling iceberg. My latest at MS NOW: www.ms.now/opinion/trum...
Imagine a United States in which federal agents have the authority to fire their weapons as representatives of the government, and yet everyday Americans aren’t even free to state clearly who or where those agents are. Even worse, those same Americans may find themselves on a clandestine government database for engaging in protected speech. Or, like Jon, they could even face a secretive administrative subpoena followed by a knock at the door from DHS agents. 

“Secret police” cannot be a necessary term in the American vernacular, but if we do not stem the tide of these First Amendment violations and transgressions, it may become one. The distance between freedom and tyranny is shrinking fast — and so is our window to combat it.

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.
Screenshot of an X post by Omar Jimenez (@OmarJim…, 7h) stating that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says he doesn’t have the names of the agents who shot Alex Pretti, adding: “I’ve been a lawyer for 36 years. I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Below is a CNN video thumbnail showing a split screen: on the left, an older man in a black cap and glasses labeled “Brown | Business Owner,” and on the right, Keith Ellison in a suit. A CNN “LIVE” bug appears in the corner.
