Inflation is up Incomes are down GDP growth lowered again to an anemic .5% What has Vice President @JDVance been focused on? Campaigning in a foreign country for a foreign politician who is a puppet of Putin.

Thursday morning econ data: Inflation up, income down and consumer spending soft in February (and that's *before* the impact of the war). And GDP was even weaker at the end of last year than previously known. #NumbersDay #EconSky

Congratulations to Democrat Chris Taylor for winning the Wisconsin Supreme Court election! Every time there has been an election last year and this year, the Democratic candidate way over performs. There will be a blue tsunami this November.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” -trump Only one class of weapons can prevent a civilization from being brought back: nuclear weapons. The Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment, now.

Every military strategist understands Sun Tzu’s observation: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” trump just announced with a bullhorn his greatest weakness in this war. Iran suspected, but now knows, what trump fears.

Everyone knew the US military can obliterate any country. But what the war in Iran showed is that our military and allies cannot defend our own bases or assets from a second tier military, especially in a prolonged conflict. We need an entirely new defense strategy, particularly for Indo-Pacific.

Supplies of Patriot surface-to-air missiles are running low. According to Bloomberg, countries in the Middle East have nearly depleted their stockpiles due to the war with Iran. The report states that 2,400 PAC-3 and PAC-2 missiles have already been used out of a total of 2,800.

Rep Jared Huffman is one of the smartest and most courageous Members of Congress. I just purchased his book NO PROPHETS: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism. You can too by clicking the link below. This is a critical issue and I’m so pleased Rep Huffman is addressing it head on.

I served on active duty for 4 years and 21 years in the reserves. My military ID let me go to sensitive locations, like a military base. Under the SAVE Act’s insane requirements, a military ID does not allow an American to vote.

A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files. The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.
