folks On Here are not going to want to hear this but the data is suggesting that the outlook is shifting towards significant economic strengthening despite uncertainty/tariff cost burdens, I think there's a real risk the Fed doesn't cut at all this year (for mostly "good" i.e. positive reasons)

Donald Trump’s immigration agenda isn’t a Left vs. Right issue. These are actions tearing families apart & destroying communities just to meet indiscriminate arrest quotas.

This isn't law and order — it’s cruelty and chaos.

Stay on Epstein. Trump wants to distract you any way he can, because he knows the Epstein files can bury him. Don’t get off topic. Epstein is the story.

We’re releasing the Epstein Files day one. There are no Epstein Files. Here’s video proof nothing happened. Ok we had to edit it. There are no Epstein Files. There are Epstein Files, but the Democrats made them. Why do you care so much about this Epstein guy? What are “Files”?

Yes, Donald, we're still talking about Jeffrey Epstein.

This entire story has been created by the administration since SCOTUS signaled it would not allow Trump to fire Powell without cause. It’s completely pretextual and anybody that treats it differently is a liar.

Since we are here: yes. Literally every player on every D1 team (let alone NFL) gets a grade on every snap in every game they play in. To the point where the success or failure of any given play is scientifically assigned and depth charts are updated accordingly.

On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7 percent, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls.

That evening, however, Ms. Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter.

The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8 percent, according to the documents. And on Monday, July 7, the agency fielded 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, or around 15.9 percent, the documents sho

Justice prevailed today.

The court’s decision puts a temporary stop to federal immigration officials violating people’s rights and racial profiling. 

California stands with the law and the Constitution — and I call on the Trump Administration to do the same.

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

KTVU FOX 2: "California sees lowest July gas prices in 3 years"

Californians are seeing the lowest gas prices in years.

That supposed "65-cent jump" that California-bashers insisted would begin on July 1? Nowhere in sight.
