I understand there are levels of corruption in Washington. There always have been, but this is ridiculous. Anyone apologizing for Trump on the corruption or giving him an alibi, you’re part of a cult. Try to get yourself deprogrammed. @philrosenn

Deficit spending is an unfunded tax liability. When politicians don't have the courage to actually tax people, they find the most pernicious and regressive way to collect anyway. Inflation. They weaken the purchasing power of the dollar and monetize the debt. The people who get hurt are the ones without assets. If you own assets, the nominal price goes up and you feel fine. But if you're a worker just trying to get by, you're losing purchasing power every single day. Someone is taking your time and your energy away from you. And it's exactly why people are so angry.

We are ALL FAILING this country. Donald Trump needs to be removed from office. He should have been removed before the war started. He is mentally unwell. Forget the Jesus pictures. Forget the Pope. We can go through hundreds of examples. The sane washing — pretending this is normal — that's just the surface problem. The real problem is that we have willing accomplices. What we have in America right now is a complete failure of political elites to execute on the constitutional system that was built specifically for this moment. We are all accomplices to this man's reckless behavior. -Every senator who stays quiet. -Every executive who writes the check. -Every commentator who normalizes it. He needs to be removed from office and he won't be.

Let me read you the MAGA checklist. 👇🏼 We were going to release the Epstein files. Until Trump showed up in the Epstein files. So we bombed people to distract from them. We bombed a school in Iran with young kids in it. We built Alligator Alcatraz — a sewage-backed penitentiary for immigrants in Florida — and laughed about it on camera. We kidnapped children and didn't know where we were sending them. We manipulated the markets. Repeatedly. We accepted a $400 million jet as a bribe and kept it after leaving office. We excoriated allies who stood with us for over a century. Threatened to attack a NATO country. Treated Canada like an enemy. We came after the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights of American citizens. Every price in America went up because of the tariffs. Then came the tax bill - if you make a million dollars or more — $7,000 benefit. If you make $50,000 or less — we're taking $500 away from you. But here's what's finally moving the needle: Gas prices. It turns out the red line for MAGA is $8 a gallon going into the 250th birthday of America. Nobody wants to grill hot dogs and explain to their kids why it costs $120 to fill the tank. The approval ratings are going into the gutter. And he doesn't care. That's the part that should terrify everyone.

Here's the hard truth nobody wants to say out loud. 👇🏼 A society works when the middle class and lower middle class have rising incomes and feel aspirational about their lives. Right now they feel economically desperate. And that desperation is real and it is valid. But Trump has provided zero policy solutions. None. He's an avatar for their anger. I understand that. I genuinely do. But what they want right now is to wreck the entire system. The system that produced the greatest economic miracle in the history of the world. Not tweak it. Not reset it. Wreck it. And you know who else wants that? Vladimir Putin. Our adversaries have one goal: make the British and American people believe their elections don't matter. That their institutions aren't legitimate. That the system is rigged against them and their vote is meaningless. Make them cynical. Make them feel left out. Make them burn it down. Trump feeds that narrative every single day. Not because he's a Russian asset. But because his entire political existence depends on people feeling like the system is broken beyond repair. And our adversaries are sitting back and watching it work.

Bad Bunny is crushing it he’s inclusive and he’s real and he’s got a tremendous heart and soul. A great decision by the NFL to bring him on tonight.
