Despite what Manchin and the corporate media are telling you, federal spending has actually declined. The subsidies that were part of the stimulus packages are over. If Joe Manchin was truly worried about inflation, he would support increasing taxes on corporations and the wealthy to tamp down overall demand – and he would support antitrust enforcement to break up monopolies who are raising prices even as they rake in record profits. Of course, he won’t do that — those monopolists line his campaign coffers.
A new memo from U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland suggests there will not be a federal indictment for former President Donald Trump, pertaining to his conduct on Jan. 6, before the November midterms. Laurence Tribe, a constitutional law professor at Harvard University, joins “Red and Blue” to discuss the memo.

In San Bernadino, California, police exited an unmarked car and fatally shot Robert Adams after he reportedly fled and failed to comply with verbal demands, even though witnesses contest that any commands were given. Cenk Uygur and Jessica Burbank discuss on The Young Turks.
“Police are investigating an officer-involved shooting that fatally wounded a Black man on Saturday in San Bernardino, California.
They say the man was armed at the time.
The incident occurred in a parking lot around 8 p.m., and was recorded by nearby surveillance cameras.
Disturbing silent footage, which shows uniformed authorities emerge from an unmarked vehicle and shoot 23-year-old Robert Adams in the back, was shared to social media and has since sparked outrage online.
In the video, which lasts about two minutes, Adams is first seen standing at the rear of a parked car speaking to someone he seems to know. He appears to face the unmarked police vehicle and briefly step toward it, at which point two officers exit the driver’s and passenger seat doors with their guns drawn.
Adams turns to run in the opposite direction and moves just a few paces before one officer discharges his weapon.
The bullet strikes Adams in the back, and he falls to the ground. Adams was transported to a hospital where he later died from his injuries.
His mother, Tamika Deavila King, responded to the shooting and surveillance footage in comments to CBS Los Angeles this week.
Like many others on Twitter and Facebook, she questioned the officer’s decision to fire his gun.”
“Go back and take everything that Al Gore put in his movie, go through it step-by-step — it’s all a bunch of lies, it didn’t happen, it’s not true.
“The human race is not on the edge of collective suicide unless it’s by nuclear war. But we’re certainly not on the edge of collective suicide because of climate.
“And I think the elites are so frenzied, they all go to the same cocktail parties, they all talk to each other, they all come to an agreement that they’re going to say this nonsense and going to reinforce each other.
“The truth is, it’s false. Just as, by the way, the same elites were lying to us about COVID.” – Newt Gingrich, last night on Laura Ingraham’s show.

A HuffPost investigation has revealed that two pro-Israel PACs have poured almost $6.5 million into the campaign of Democratic Maryland candidate Glenn Ivey in order to defeat ex-U.S. Rep. Donna Edwards, who has been lightly critical of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. And the best part? Both candidates have barely addressed the issue while campaigning and have openly admitted that the Israel-Palestine conflict barely comes up in their region, making the donations even more suspicious. Cenk Uygur and Francesca Fiorentini discuss on The Young Turks.
“There are plenty of major issues in Prince George’s County.
Inflation and high gas prices have hit the mostly working- and middle-class Black voters who live in this commuter suburb hard.
While the county is one of the wealthiest majority-Black jurisdictions in the country, crime remains high: There were 135 homicides in 2021. Schools here lag behind those in the uber-wealthy neighboring counties of suburban Washington, D.C.
But it’s not crime or schools or the cost of living that has upended the Democratic congressional primary in the majority-Black district that dominates the county, but the United States’ support for Israel, a country 5,800 miles away.
Two pro-Israel groups have poured over $6.4 million into the contest, aiming to defeat former U.S. Rep. Donna Edwards and boost the candidacy of Glenn Ivey, a former prosecutor and Capitol Hill aide.
While little separates the two candidates ideologically — both are broadly liberal Democrats — Edwards’ willingness to even gently break with Capitol Hill’s long-standing consensus on Israel issues has earned her the ire of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).”
