Those younger voters that have been shut out of upward mobility with rising home prices over the last 15 years thought Trump was going to deliver for them. Looks like some are starting to realize the only thing getting delivered is even higher prices.

You can't say there was no difference. The National Guard did pick up trash and do some landscaping since the NPS staff that normally handles that had been fired.

Oh look, crazy policies, increasing taxes, and tariffs are taking their toll and starting to stack up. Just wait til the big beautiful bill changes set to go into affect right after the midterm gets here. It is going to get a lot worse if this administration is left unchecked.

It disgusts me to be happy about gerrymandering, but this is where we're at. Once we take the country back from the folks trying to destroy it we're going to have to focus on putting rules in place to prevent gerrymandering by both rules going forward.

Some people think if Trump announced he was retiring tomorrow this would immediately go back to normal. They don't realize it took 100 years to built the trust that the US is a strong and stable partner, and in 6 months Trump has torn all of that down.

We have to talk about this also as an insult to the National Guard, who are being used as political props by the President and governors. They signed up to serve their country and their communities, and are now being turned into playthings of a political operation. It’s a slap in the face.

The whole situation is crazy, but the first round sent plenty of troops to stand around in DC with nothing to do and now they're doing a troop surge? Is this a loyalty test of governors? Is this going to be like a troop surge in Iraq? They got the police state photo op, why more troops and why now?
