Lawyer preparation suggests Trump won’t testify in New York trialwapo.st Discussions that the judge had with lawyers in recent days indicate that Trump is not likely to be one of the witnesses called by the defense team.

Job growth under Biden has been so strong that Republican leaders continue to find themselves literally at a loss for words. There's no great mystery here: GOP silence is intended to keep the public conversation away from good news that might interfere with Republicans’ election-year strategies.

Exactly right. Biden set records for deportations and the right is still screaming that we have "open borders." Stop trying to meet these psychos halfway.

There is no amount of increasing border enforcement or deporting people that will ever make the American right wing believe the border is being properly handled by a democratic president. Any compromise on this is just a signal that they can demand more & keep the issue live. Immoral, bad politics.
