Consumer spending in nearly 70% of the U.S. economy. When those consumers get laid off, our economy never does well.
When wealth disparity is so high, our country never does well.
I've witnessed this over and over again since Reagan, Boom-bust, boom-bust.
FDR had answers. Nixon had lies. #SOS

I agree, of course, but hoped the ellipsis after "articulate" would indicate my uncertainty re the authoriship...

My take? She wants to be reelected and may be worrying that Shawn Harris can make it tougher in 2026... or perhaps she's jockeying for a place closer to JD Vance who also seems to be raising his visibility independent from DJT.

This alone would've gotten a previous president laughed out of office so fast there wasn't time to impeach him.

I thought the same thing, if less harshly, while watching "A House of Dynamite", constantly wondering how DJT and his "advisors" would react to a similar circumstance.
One caveat: Packer and Oppenheim/Bigelow probably wrote the stories before Nov 2024, but that's no excuse for going forward...

It breaks my heart imagining how Rockwell would painfully depict the scene today with ICE goons putting zipties on small children (some citizens) while backed up by National Guard who shouldn't be there (and probably don't want to be...).
