Malinowski: A couple of years ago, Vance gave a speech.. The title was universities are the enemy. He said explicitly, we cannot achieve anything in this country as a conservative movement unless we aggressively go after the universities. That's what they're doing right now

The common myth that Jake Tapper repeats about 2020 -- that Democratic voters didn't want Joe Biden but he was forced on them by a back-room party conspiracy -- is transparently wrong and fundamentally misunderstands the problem: www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/05/joe-...

The white genocide myth the republicans are using against the president of South Africa is explicitly a neo-Nazi and white power conspiracy theory nothing else. Anyone who is pushing the white genocide myth is a literal white supremacist and or a Nazi. Full stop.

A trade war + a budget busting, deficit-hiking, debt-exploding Maga tax bill has the bond market very, very nervous. Many of the assumptions built into the Republican billionaire tax cut assumed lower interest rates, and we are headed in the other direction.

#ProudBlue It's GREED over working families! Republicans don't even want to help a working low income family with 5 kids make ends meet. The families SNAP was already cut by 50%! Will they lose their healthcare as well? #StopTheBillionaireBailout

The requirements to be a Trump nominee are simple: Absolute loyalty to him...and the ability to act like an expert on TV. No wonder his Administration is a mess.

I think I’m probably the most debt dovey mainstream budget person, and let me without any hedging say that interest path is a total disaster and should be addressed. And that’s under a scenario where CBO assumes interest rates merely hang out around where they were in like 2007-2008.
