For #Trump, #Tariffs Are the Solution to Almost Any Problem

Trump has proposed using tariffs to fund #ChildCare, boost #manufacturing, quell #immigration & encourage use of the dollar. Economists are skeptical.

In almost every case were guns were banned the death toll skyrocketed in the years that follow, int he few countries where homicide doesnt change much you still see huge upticks in violent crimes, in particular rape.

You cant be against guns without being for murder and rape.

VP Harris will be persuasive tonight, & garner voters. #TFG is a demented entertainer, conman, & traitor, whose fearmongering schtick is stale & disproven.

"To prevail, TFG has to win over people who don't like him. Harris, by contrast, has to win over people who want to hear more about her."

When voters get to know Harris, they'll be impressed with her character, expertise, & agenda, which includes all Americans.

*Her favorability has skyrocketed.

The Serious Case for Not Panicking About Trump’s Scary New Polling

The race is too close, and Trump could win. But there’s a decent argument out there holding that the pieces are in place for Kamala Harris to prevail. A perceptive data analyst explains it.

Interview: Richard Medhurst is the first journalist to be arrested under the UK terrorism act for “speech crimes”. He was released, but wasn't told which of his statements re Palestine were deemed "criminal."

So now I don't know what I can & can't say under the act. They're making an example of me & "trying to see what they can get away with," said Medhurst.

It's the new fascism, says lawyer Dima Khalidi.

Are restrictions on pro-Palestine speech ‘the new McCarthyism?’

Is there an attempt to chill debate on Palestine and Israel on both sides of the Atlantic?

So, I thought that Trump just spoke gobbledygook diversional nonsense in the last debate, but it turns out there is a name for this ‘tactic’—

Gish Gallop.

Lol yep— not answering questions or engaging in reasoned discussion but rather creating “so much confusion and misdirection that the opponent cannot adequately respond to each point” so that the Galloper “appear(s) victorious by sheer volume, not merit” has a name.

“The Justice Dept said #Russia may be involved in our elections again,” #Trump told the crowd at his rally. “And, you know, the whole world laughed at them this time.”

Trump’s comments appeared to reference #DOJ’s #indictment Wed of 2 Russia-based employees of Russia’s state-run news site, #RT, in an alleged scheme in which they paid an American media company to spread English-language videos on YouTube,TikTok,Instagram & X.

4 yrs ago, the #Senate Intelligence Cmte UNANIMOUSLY endorsed the #US #intelligence community’s conclusion that #Russia intervened in the 2016 election in an effort to boost #Trump.

But Trump, who has repeatedly described the probes into Russian interference in the 2016 election as a “hoax,” is dismissing them this time around, too.

The #indictments were part of the #Biden admin’s most sweeping effort yet to tackle what it described as Russian #disinformation campaigns ahead of the November election.

…#Trump, who has often boasted about his relationship w/ #Putin & claimed w/o evidence that #Russia would never have invaded #Ukraine if he was president, has expressed deep skepticism about continuing #US military aid to Ukraine.

Pres Biden & VP Harris should be heralding their economic success: lowering inflation, job growth, & higher pay, especially for 'former' low-wage workers:

"The entire wage distribution has outpaced prices cumulatively since the start of the pandemic.

Low-wage workers have seen the largest gains."
