Such a turnaround when it comes to border/immigration.

A year and a half ago - w/ Dems in power, the bipartisan border deal was being negotiated, giving billions to NGOs, allowing thousands of crossings per day, keeping CBP One cell phone app etc.

Now, Dems will get nothing on immigration if OBBB passes, and ICE and Border Patrol will be supercharged with enormous funding at the same time many Dems are referring to federal immigration enforcement as the Gestapo & terrorists.

Republicans and Trump can move forward with their border security and mass deportation agenda without giving Democrats a single thing - and all Dems can do in reconciliation process is try to delay.

Will Republicans land the plane today?

Not satire..

Prices at the pump have gotten lower each day this week. Overall, average prices are down nearly 3 cents from the beginning of the week and 20 cents from last month!

This comes after Republicans spent 6+ months misleading Californians about a nonexistent “65 cent jump in prices on July 1.”

Instead, Californians have seen a consistent decrease:
✅ Monday to Tuesday: decrease
✅ Tuesday to Wednesday: decrease
✅ Wednesday to Thursday: decrease
