"I scanned dozens of newspapers from around the U.S. & world. On average, international newspapers cover the widespread protests against Trump/Musk and for democracy much more prominently on their covers than those in the U.S.

This isn’t due to deadlines, protests were daytime in the U.S."

"The mainstream view used to be that the party that presided over boomtimes was the party that could expect to be rewarded.

IT NEVER HAS BEEN ABOUT THE PRICE OF EGGS FOR HIS VOTERS.
