Rev. Barber: Trump ‘constitutionally inconsistent, morally indefensible, and economically insane'
MSNBC· 2025-07-06 20:06
This week, Americans mark 249 years since a group of colonists outraged by a distant government's abuse of power declared their intention to form a new nation. One founded on liberty, equality, and the radical idea at the time that governments derive their powers from the consent of the governed. We celebrate July 4th with fireworks and flags.

From @WSJopinion: Why would someone who emigrated to the U.S. from a poor country champion ideas that keep poor countries poor? The rise of Ugandan-born Indian-American socialist Zohran Mamdani raises the question, writes @dhume. https://t.co/AIr5noveXx ...

And for a moment I thought they were looking to try to throw stuff, you know, trying to dispose of stuff because there's been not ...
