It could be sending more National Guards to other blue cities like Seattle and Chicago or ramping up ICE activities in those coties. They did hint that they would do it “post Labor Day”. It is never good news!

probably "I am sending troops to Portland, Seattle, and Chicago" or something... It is never good news. If it is good news, there won't be any scheduled announcement.
Nah. It isn't going to work. It will be just like another "infrastructure week" in his first term. He has nothing - no policy to change the national housing situation.
No orange makeup????
She had it enough 🫡
I think Ben Wikler would have been much, much better.
I know a lot of people have low expectations because she won comfortably in 2020. But, this time can be different. So many things have happened the past 5 years, and the next year will be worse. If Democrats have a competent candidate like Graham Platnet, they do have a real chance.
Its best case scenario is being used as a cargo ship carrying large satellites to low Earth orbit.
The biggest failures of Obama and Biden are not prosecuting people responsible for crimes related to the financial crisis, Iraq War, and Trump stuff.
Ah… The President of Peace strikes again.
Or, is he talking about the corruption and insurrection charges against the former president and his wife?
Isn’t he the one who said he would not back down on supporting Israel or something? I guess he has all the wrong takes in the world
I know there are legitimate reasons to worry about this. But, I think it will backfire on him more than it will help suppress voters in the midterm. It may motivate more voters in these areas and outside the areas.
I am glad that a lot more people now see how full of BS the likes of Jeffries and Schumer are. If everything is a distraction, what is not?
I never understood why the Harris campaign used him as a surrogate. He is not particularly smart, convincing, or charismatic. He is… just rich. Many really seem to think rich people like him have “something” other than money. No wonder the Harris campaign failed and put us here
Gotta have a magic amulet to protect herself from all forms of antisemitism... lol
Is Stephen Miller supposed to be the "cool guy" in a recruitment poster? I think he would repel 90% of potential applicants.
Good bye to tourism... good bye to the U.S. economy
“Breaking news” from his vacation probably 😂
Janet Mills, the current Maine governor, is the one the party wants to run for the Senate seat to dethrone Susan Collins. And, she is even older than Collins.
Is the Democratic Party seriously trying to elect someone that is 77 years old… 5 years older than Susan Collins… just because of the name ID?
Newsom is the right person to fight Trump right now. He does not care about getting his hands dirty to get attention. But, he is not the right person to lead the Democratic Party. He has no good policies and principles. He just knows how to play politics.
That is not enough. They need to be prosecuted for violating the law!
Is it not going to affect their businesses, too? All the checkpoints will make people avoid those areas. It will have a chilling effect even if these people are American citizens. Democrats will have to make DC and Puerto Rico US states.
Will the rain on Friday help fight these fires? It looks like the precipitation is significant…
Ah… the old “Give me what I want or I will sue you” trick by Elon Musk… Apple has resources to fight him, but I am pessimistic about it. Apple and “Tim Apple” have shown the tendency to bend the knee for Trump and Musk instead of fighting.
"It requires consent. But, if they do it without it, oh well." "A sexual intercourse requires consent. But, the victim may have to accept it if he/she is assaulted."
Rubio must have been very convincing.
And, why are they wearing masks when regular police officers who actually face violence wear no masks and wear name tags? When the next Democratic presidential candidate is nominated, that person will have to warn every single Border Patrol and ICE agent that any law-breaking will be investigated.
He is SO BAD. What is the difference between “extreme MAGA” and just regular Republicans? None.
By linking anti-Zionism to antisemitism, he and others are actually putting a lot of Jewish people in danger. It creates a permission structure for people to be really antisemitic. What an idiot
The next census is in 2030. Technically, he won’t be in office unless…
Please forgive him. He needs a little bit of publicity and money that no one is giving. I hope he is happy being out all day every day doing the worst things for other human beings. On a more serious note, people like him won't last that long doing jobs like this.
Are they struggling to recruit people? Even if you are a racist, it is not a fun job to have…. Being out all day and detaining people even if they are not violent… It should be mostly desperate people who need jobs. I can’t imagine that many college graduates joining ICE if they can find other jobs.
Well. If Cuomo's campaign was not dead enough, it is now more dead. Getting help and advice directly from Trump in the City of New York as a supposedly independent Democratic candidate?
It's like one place where people are trained to shoot and fight adversaries, and they have casualties and a lockdown. And, they expect teachers and a few security officers to defend hundreds of students at a school?
It is their business tactics (insane prices, unfair gambling odds, etc.) and Trump. People feel ripped off (everyone) and don’t feel safe going there (international tourists). I am sorry, Las Vegas. Your state voted for it.
I am old enough to remember how much India loved Trump. I wonder how they feel now.
Screw these guys. They went along with Trump and their leadership for everything. They deserve everything.
“We will win! We will win” “People are aroused. I haven’t seen people so aroused in a very, very long time.”
Don't try to justify murdering innocent people with that Instagram post. It is as black-and-white as it gets. Even if there were these "fighters" in that group, it wouldn't justify killing and starving this many people, especially children. You are just displaying your lack of morality.
It is not customers' fault when a business's demand is falling. It could be the economy in general, macroenvironment, and business itself. It is a combination of insane prices and business practices and the macroenvironment created by Trump. And, Nevada voted for Trump. So, why blame California?
Either make the entire country gerrymandering-proof with independent panels OR gerrymander the heck out of it to fight gerrymandering.
One positive (?) thing about this whole tariff saga is that by the time we come out of this disaster, people’s perception of Trump being good for the economy will be shattered although the polls already show it. If this gets worse, the Republicans might actually be in deep trouble next year.
Is it good, chat? I was promised the Golden Age of America! Surely, we were not conned by a failed businessman and chronic liar!!
It all started with that disastrous Breaking Point interview. Krystal Ball did what any competent journalist should have done to all these lawmakers, especially these Democrats. I hope the other ones, including Schumer, are ready for hard questions.
These rebates would basically subsidize inflation. Collect tariffs and cause inflation for consumers. Then, send rebates to those companies?
If there is a trade surplus for nations like Japan and South Korean for trade with the U.S., they use that surplus to invest in U.S. treasuries and other things. So, by suppressing trade with tariffs, which are sales taxes for U.S. consumers, they are also suppressing foreign investments.
If Biden had done this, Republicans, Fox News, and Trump would have talked about this non-stop 24/7 for the rest of the time itself.
Jessica Tarlov is a saint.
He is so slow that having a sloth in his position might be better for the Democratic Party. The only time he was forceful was when he wanted Trump to bomb Iran.
How about Andrew Cuomo who oversaw thousands of deaths under his watch? He already said he would not “defund” the police. He is not even a mayor right now, and it is not an ongoing crisis like a natural disaster. How much can Mamdani or even Eric Adams do for this shooting?
Democrats will learn a wrong lesson and try to support young candidates who can do social media. It will fail. Mamdani is a combination of charisma, social media, authenticity, AND policies.
Does “every tool” include shutting the government down? I bet he will fold like last time. The Dem leadership is so clueless and out of touch that I bet it will play out the same. They will pretend to resist and fight but eventually fold because shutdowns are “so bad” and they are “responsible”
rest in piss - He was a horrible individual who did more harm than good. There was no mixed reaction. Good riddance for most people
But, will it solve the problem for Trump? Isn't she known as a human trafficker even among his supporters? I guess most of them will come around. But, it can easily backfire, I think....
I know you should feel sympathy for disaster victims regardless their beliefs and backgrounds and they should still get aid. But, F them. I hope they regret their votes greatly and learn not to vote against their own interests. As long as it hurts others, they are okay. Now, they are not okay.
You cannot tell me we are not in a parody world 🙃
Trump and Musk are so similar because they are narcissists. They always have to be the “savior”. Musk tried to be the savior for the Thai soccer team trapped in a cave with a fake submarine and for COVID with fake ventilators. Trump? He wants to be the “peace maker” in foreign conflicts.
I don’t know pardoning Maxwell is necessarily going to “save” Trump. Most people view her as a horrible criminal / trafficker. His most devoted supporters and influencers will try to turn the page. But, it can easily backfire on Trump in the eyes of voters.
It will only take a hurricane or two for these red states to realize how incompetent this admin will be. Yeah. Build those camps. You will definitely not need the money later.
Now, normal things that any administration used to do are unique things under this admin. When is it going to end?
Police officers who face actual criminals with guns wear uniforms with their names. Why not put body cams and record everything? Oh. They don’t want anything on record.
They are literally bringing murderers and violent criminals from Venezuela just like Trump himself accused…
People like him prove that billionaires didn’t achieve their billionaire status because they are smart or special. They were just lucky.
Is he going to announce his firing of Powell? Tank the market so that people get distracted from the Epstein stuff?
Of course, they should pay the price. They are going along with everything Trump is doing. Just a "warning" is not going to do anything.
Of all the horrible things they have done, this is the only issue that sticks around and affects them? We are so cooked. And, of course, he is in the files. There is public evidence that they were close. What a circus show this whole thing is.
Trump’s gonna increase the libel damage from $10 billion to $100 billion now.
Can you imagine a Democratic President saying, "There will be a 10% sales tax on all goods coming from all the other nations"? Republicans would lose their minds over it. This? "Oh. Brilliant move, sir. You are a genius for making other nations pay."
Not suspicious at all 🙃
Orbital refueling is a major, major obstacle. It has to be done within hours because these cryogenic fuels boil off. If it takes too long, you need more vehicles for refueling. Anyone thinks Elon Musk can deliver on this? LOL
It will be like this for the next 3 and a half years. They passed the tax cuts. There is not much to do except being cruel, racist, and anti-science.
Oh my god… a centrist! I am trembling
Captured by crypto bros and AIPAC…. No wonder they are so incompetent and complacent
The New York Democratic establishment is so clueless.
“We control culture now.” Lol
I don’t think there is anything wrong with the size. The whole point of this camera series is its compactness. The issue is that the compromise is big. The price is way too high.
There is no “fight” in them. They are just “Let’s see how Trump destroys the country and ruins people’s lives so that we can get in power”. They (both of them from New York) cannot endorse Mamdani despite the Democratic base increasingly more sympathetic toward Palestinians and against Israel.
The fake populist strikes again!
Wow. He is an absolute workaholic lol
Let’s do that in her state, South Dakota. Send troops and whatever. See what happens.
Why retaliate when the US is destroying its own consumers and importers? So far, importers are mostly absorbing costs. But, that can go only so far. If these tariffs go to the announced levels on August 1 and stay that way long enough, businesses will definitely raise prices.
Then, why did Trump not shut down the government to do all of those? And, if you are correct, what changes for any future negotiations? Rs can roll Ds over with toxic stuff in a funding bill. Ds cannot let them shut down the government because they will fire more people and shut down more agencies.
Look at the current state. They cut funding, closed agencies, fired people, etc. with the blessing from the Supreme Court. They did all of those without the government shutdown. It was the only leverage Democrats had. Trump urged House GOP to pass it. He wanted it, and Schumer gave it to him
If Mamdani were just a generic Democrat, Jeffries would have endorsed him the night he won. If Jeffries had not gotten any money from AIPAC, he would have endorsed Mamdani by now. It is clear.
Why only 15 trillion? Why not 150 trillion or 150 gazillion? At this point, it does not matter what the number is. They will just make everything up.
Didn’t Schumer say if Democrats didn’t agree and the government was shut down, Trump and Musk could just close agencies, fire people, and do whatever they wanted? Nothing changed. So, why would you shut down the government now? Why didn’t Schumer use the government shutdown as leverage last time???
Are we going to see grannies and granpas on the street when a financial crisis hits?
It is incredible how untrustworthy the government has become in a matter of months. Even this number cannot be trusted at face value. They always try to exaggerate numbers like this.
If you resigned as the government due to sexual abuse allegations, why do you think you can run for the mayor seat? Maybe, he just has a fetish for embarrassment.
Does anyone like Andrew Cuomo at this point? Maybe Schumer and Jeffries?
The excuse Schumer gave last time was that Trump could do whatever he wanted (closing agencies and firing government employees) if the government was shut down. What changes this time? Nothing. So, unless he gets immense pressure, I bet Schumer will fold again.
Isn’t it amazing how they can come up with nice excuses for convicted criminals who actually committed crimes and, then, come up with the most ridiculous charges against people and illegally strip away due process from the most vulnerable?
He is definitely panicking and trying to lay ground work to make his base believe this lie.
Able-bodied Medicaid recipients can do the job now 🤷🏻♂️
I feel like it should be a combination of offering legal pathways to citizenship, harsher employer punishments, and expanded worker programs.
I think they are grossly underestimating how unpopular this thing is and will get. It is not just migrants but also just average U.S. citizens who are in the crossfire. Polls are already showing a radical change on immigration in just 6 months.
To be honest, these voter suppression efforts can backfire spectacularly, especially during the midterm. Dems are now high-propensity voters. These efforts disproportionately affect low-propensity voters.
