Even though there are high prices in California, it puts downward pressure on inflation because everybody is leaving the state"

On Friday evening, after Jeanine Pirro's humiliating admission that there never was a reflecting pool vandal, the revelation wasn't mentioned a single time on Fox News' primetime programs, according to a review of transcripts. My latest for @status.news www.status.news/p/reflecting...
MAGA’s Leaky Narrative
Weeks after Fox News and top right-wing media figures blamed Democrats for vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the Justice Department admitted the narrative didn't hold water.

Last year, Trump made over $2 billion dollars, more money than he has made in his entire life. Trump screws over Americans so he can get richer.
When the full story of this is told, I suspect some lawyer or group of lawyers in the US Attorney's Office feared for their bar licenses and forced the dismissal and disclosure. trump, of course, doesn't care about anyone but himself, so he continues his lies.
Trump claimed the power to decide who the Postal Service is allowed to mail a ballot to. Judge Indira Talwani wrote that the Constitution hands a president no authority over elections at all. That's held up twice now. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-surr...
Americans are right to be fed up with Trump's economy. Prices are out of control, and taxpayer dollars are being wasted on a war in Iran and tax breaks for billionaires. Republicans in Washington have enabled this disaster every step of the way.
If the $1.776b slush fund and Trump tax immunity deal are really dead, then why bother to appeal, the judges decision in Trump v IRS that ruled they were dead?
Trump is still pushing the lie that the thugs who stormed the Capitol and assaulted police officers are victims to be paid. These criminals received due process and were convicted at trial or by guilty plea. It’s all part of the false narrativr that he won the 2020 election. Can we say enough?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoTrump makes clear that he still supports the taxpayer-funded J6 slush fund: "I will always feel that these victims of govt abuse should be paid back ... Millions agree with me, as was proven in my landslide Presidential win, where this was a major subject of debate."
"Trump's standing with voters has eroded steadily since the spring, as an unpopular war with Iran, persistent inflation concerns and rising gas prices have weighed on his numbers." It's no wonder his numbers are so bad. See the numbers here: https://bit.ly/4xhvMM7 #ResistTrump
