It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

Cost of extending ACA subsidies: $30 billion/year Cost of Trump's Iran War: $43 billion in roughly seven months (and that's a low estimate) It's not a question of what we can afford. It's a question of priorities.

Trump told his supporters at gop convention to “cheat like hell.” They know if they commit federal crimes he will pardon them. That is why we need Democratic AGs to hold a joint press conference to make it clear they will swiftly prosecute anyone who does under state law so Trump can’t pardon them

As Trump returns to tariffs, it's worth checking out what we've gotten from the trade war so far.
Line chart titled "The United States currently has the highest inflation in the G7" showing year-ended consumer price inflation rates across G7 countries. The United States leads at 3.5%, followed by Italy at 3.0%, Canada at 2.8%, Great Britain at 2.6%, Germany at 2.4%, France at 2.0%, and Japan at 1.5%. The US inflation rate is more than double Japan's and stands as the only G7 country exceeding 3.0%.
