When these cuts were announced, they were told, "People will die as a result." They pressed forward anyway and they did. At least 27 dead.

Paul: They started out at 145% got down to 80% now 30%. It is 30% more than we have on currently. It will be a 30% rise in goods coming from China, and somebody will pay that, it will be the consumer.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Had a great conversation with Terry Gross/Fresh Air to walk through the whole landscape of Trump family conflicts of interest that have emerged. Real estate. Golf clubs. Crypto, Foreign government deals. Even a $500,000-a-head private club in DC. @nprfreshair.bsky.social www.npr.org/2025/05/07/1...

Our neighbor to the North is lead by a brilliant economist, who is tough, but fair and decent. Our neighbor to the South is lead by a brilliant engineer, who is tough, but fair and decent. We are run by a total ignoramus who is flawed in every way a human being can be & is destroying our country.

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Pretty simple rule of thumb when wondering why the Trump administration does anything is to ask two questions: 1) is it racist? Or 2) are they stupid? Tends to cover most Trump administration stuff.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

The point isn’t about Newsom himself or any individual politician. The point is we need opposition leadership that isn’t afraid to say in clear terms that we are on the verge of a dark, dysfunction autocratic abyss and doesn’t fear opprobrium or being physical harmed for saying that.
