Holy shit. An online post has been unearthed showing George Santos saluting Hitler and apparently joking about “kill... the jews and black mostly.” A former friend says he would make offensive jokes about Jewish people while falsely claiming to be Jewish.

Yes, there are problems -- inflation is still far too high and poverty, while it dipped during the crisis b/c of gov't aid, is also still too high.
But to recover all jobs and output in basically 2 years is remarkable.

Sometimes you need to look at the big picture: It's been an incredible rebound from the 2020 pandemic recession.
The US has recovered all output lost in the crisis and gotten back on trend.
GDP
2022: +2.1%
2021: +5.9%
2020: -2.8%

Today's news:
✅ Growth stronger than projected
✅ Wages up, faster than inflation
✅ Unemployment filings at late-1960s levels
❌ Gloom & doom coverage of the econ - WRONG
❌ GOP plans to raise gas prices, impose national sales tax, cut SS/Medicare, debt chaos - WHY?

Hey I found the "weaponization" of the federal government! Spoiler alert: It was Barr & Durham. I'm sure the House GOP will be investigating this. And guess what: The Russian investigation was no witch hunt. The effort to prove it was...was the witch hunt.

Every line of this article must be read. Horrifying breaches of professional ethics, misuse of DOJ investigative resources, and deliberate lies to, and gaslighting of the public. A grotesque perversion of the appropriate role of Attorney General.

Just so everyone has the context here, the reason that DirecTV dropped Newsmax is because the right-wing channel wanted the satellite carrier to pay them a carriage fee. DirecTV said no, pointing to the fact that Newsmax streams for free on other platforms such as Roku.

Students are not dressing like "furries" in our schools.
These claims are a smokescreen designed to distract from the failures of 10+ years of GOP education policy.
IN schools need better pay, more funding, & more counselors - in other words, serious solutions to real problems.

🇷🇺 Russia's economy is not sanctions-proof.
Moscow's $47 billion budget deficit in 2022 is one of the highest since the end of the Soviet Union. It has used band-aids to prop up its economy until now.

My son texted me yesterday: We’re in a lockdown, not a drill.
An arrest was made and it ended ok.
The trauma it caused will last. Kids locked in barricaded rooms, texting parents thinking it was their last text, crying, listening for gun shots in the dark.
THIS IS NOT OK.
