The Trump Foundation donated money to charities that used Mar-a-Lago for events. Sounds sleazy to me. Of course, the Florida Attorney General (see below) won’t do anything.

The government put manufacturers before the health of children
This is an amazing story. The Trump administration cared more about businesses than health and bullied foreign countries.
from the article:
“American officials sought to water down the resolution by removing language that called on governments to “protect, promote and support breast-feeding” and another passage that called on policymakers to restrict the promotion of food products that many experts say can have deleterious effects on young children.
When that failed, they turned to threats, according to diplomats and government officials who took part in the discussions. Ecuador, which had planned to introduce the measure, was the first to find itself in the cross hairs.
The Americans were blunt: If Ecuador refused to drop the resolution, Washington would unleash punishing trade measures and withdraw crucial military aid. The Ecuadorean government quickly acquiesced.”
and
“In the end, the Americans’ efforts were mostly unsuccessful. It was the Russians who ultimately stepped in to introduce the measure — and the Americans did not threaten them.”

California’s economy is growing faster than the nation’s GDP
You can make a similiar point at the national level. The economy under Obama did well once it recovered – you can’t say the regulations killed it and they certainly helped the environment and people.

Great article on too much Trump coverage
I totally agree. Everyone has made up their mind on whether or not Trump is a liar and bigot so we don’t need to hear the same stuff over and over. Let’s hear more about Democratic policies. Trump uses the media because he knows how to get attention by saying outrageous stuff.
The lies and other stuff should still be documented, just not given as much TV time.
“Republican-appointed justices have now constituted the majority of the Court for five decades in a row”
I will be 65 later this year. There has never been a Chief Justice appointed by a Democrat in my lifetime.
What Democrats have said about ICE
All these “Dems want to abolish ICE headlines” are oversimplified and misleading.
NFL ratings were up compared to overall TV ratings
Trump will ramp up his attacks on the NFL before the election because his base likes them. The league gets what they deserve for caving in to him. Since he knows the owners are weak, the bully will keep badgering them. Sad!
