DEAR GOD, will someone please replace #HakeemJeffries with someone who knows how to hit a softball question out of the park? š¤¬
Breem: "Do you acknowledge that #inflation spiked to 9% under #Biden?"
Jeffries: "The problem is that costs have still not come down..." š¤¦āāļø
CORRECT ANSWER: "THAT'S B/C T**** DESTROYED THE #SupplyChain by ignoring #Covid! By the time Biden left, inflation was down to 2.4%... exactly where it is today."
"The only reason that they are wearing masks is because they want impunity to commit crimes. And there's no other, at least to my knowledge, you know, comparable developed nation where that is a thing, you know, having basically secret police like that."

The ICE drawdown in the Twin Cities signals that Trump's losing the narrative. Aaron gives his perspective from the ground.
"US imperialism is running wild. Under Joe Biden, the White House flagrantly violated international law by enabling Israelās genocide of the Palestinian people. Now Donald Trump has gone even further down the same path.
So far, his administration has extorted Washingtonās European partners, launched air strikes against Iran, declared its intention to occupy Greenland, and kidnapped Venezuelaās head of state, while continuing to support Israelās genocide.
The United States has directly assaulted the ārules-based international orderā that it once helped establish, undermining the United Nations, withdrawing from the World Health Organization, and imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court.
As terrifying as these imperialist offensives may be, they are a sign not of strength but of weakness. This is not simply the weakness of the individuals who happen to be at the helm, but of the United States as a whole. While Bidenās senility and Trumpās capriciousness have certainly played a part, US imperialismās frightening trajectory stems from deeper developments.
The US imperium today is in a severe crisis. What we are witnessing is not its resurgence but rather the symptoms of its frantic decline."

From the Americas to the Middle East, the US is deploying the crudest forms of imperial aggression to shore up its power. This is ultimately a sign of weakness rather than strength, as the foundations upon which the US empire rested are crumbling.
