Trump just got a third Air Force 1.

He's building a $200m ballroom at the White House.

His personal economy is doing great.

But for average Americans? Sadly, not so much.

Mexico's President Sheinbaum regularly travels around the country to oversee projects and inaugurate schools and clinics. During a recent trip, in the middle of right-wing opposition territory in Guanajuato she gave a speech from the roof of her vehicle using a megaphone as crowds gathered around.

Brown: Brad Edwards deposed Epstein’s accountant—she worked for Epstein’s modeling company

She gave more detail than we had heard before, including the fact that when Epstein formed that company, he told her he wanted it to be set up just like Trump’s modeling agency.

I am baffled by the Washington Post's sanitized framing of this story. The Supreme Court is clearly going to "rule on the law" -- that is what courts do! The news is that SCOTUS signaled that it might gut the VRA entirely.

Casar: "Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in Texas history. And the two of them are working together on the most corrupt scheme I've ever seen. What they're trying to do is insulate Trump from any accountability for his crimes."

You're going to hear a lot from the MAGA crowd about how the BLS "manipulated" jobs numbers. It's a lie, and it's important to understand why.
