As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

For the sixth month in a row, U.S. manufacturing activity shrank in August. One manufacturer said they’re just trying to survive. Didn’t the President say his tariffs would bring those jobs back to America and boost manufacturing? finance.yahoo.com/news/us-manu...

Huge news - appeals court rules that a majority of the President’s tariffs are illegal. The President is wreaking havoc on our economy, and he is breaking the law to do it. We must right this ship. We need sane trade policy again.

It's important you notice what Trump's Treasury Secretary said the other day. He slipped and admitted that the new Trump accounts - with a measly $1,000 per person - are "backdoor for privatizing Social Security." He actually said that. I need to explain to you what it means.

Love this 🔥 from a federal judge. And let me get our ahead of comments like, “It doesn’t matter, they’ll just ignore his orders.” While thats a popular narrative, it is wrong. This simply HASN’T been the case with habeas decisions involving domestic detentions. Judges’ orders have been obeyed.
