“For people like me, who are homeowners, who are employed, the economy is great,” she said. “How is the economy? It depends who you’re looking at.”

Democratic congressional candidates nationwide, feeding off voter fury, are raging against their leadership and vowing ruthlessness against their own establishment.
"I am not a 'when they go low, we go high' kind of girl,” said TX state Rep. Jolanda Jones. “If they go low, I'm going to the gutter."
The Banks in the UK make £82,000,000,000 a year profit, they pay just 28% tax on that.
You pay 28% tax on £12,571+
And 42% on £50,270+
The rich do not pay tax.
The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.
In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.
Exactly!

Jim Jordan is asking the Justice Department to prosecute former CIA director John Brennan for allegedly lying to Congress more than two years ago.

I made a DRAFT field guide to help journalists (or anyone) navigate police + protests in Los Angeles. ~80% done. Slides all illustrated w/photos:
👮 Agencies & Uniforms
🔫 Firearms & Devices
🎯 Munitions
🦺 PPE
🏥 Injuries
Sharing this as rough draft b/c feedback VERY welcome!
(Note: Google Slides.)
none of these mfs will ever move anywhere because the "tax" is so minimal THEY DO NOT EVEN NOTICE IT

Los Angeles, CA -
Both DHS and rapid response saying a traffic collision. RRNs saying that the car was rammed. DHS saying their vehicle was rammed.
Just one week ago, DHS claimed a vehicle was rammed in Ventura; video evidence disproved it.
