I'm just a poor country political historian and not some big city media fella, but it *does* seem like a slightly big deal that the leader of the United States presented comically faked "evidence" in the Oval Office to justify his power to disappear ordinary people into a Central American prison?

Trump's Secretary of Commerce was on cable news a couple days ago making this *exact* promise, that Trump's Glorious Tariffs were going to put Americans to work making little cell phones.

I think it’s very funny that one of the go-to defenses for Trump’s very stupid version of mercantilism is “he’s had these views for forty years.” Oh well, then we absolutely *gotta* let him wreck the global economy if he’s believed this nonsense for long enough.

The President of the United States seems oddly focused on me. Shouldn't he be focused on the economy he's crashing?

Let’s go America!

Every weekend I do a weekend video/ roundup and discussion about the happenings of the week, for paid subscribers. Take a look at the first few min, which are for everyone! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/weekend-vi...

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

These are the signs of the times — as demonstrated in today’s Hands Off! WE ARE THE OPPOSITION!!

Just get hiked up higher and higher

SpaceX gets up to $5.9 billion in new DOD launch contracts...more than it's competitors, United Launch alliance and Blue Origin.

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Sean Duffy: "The truth is, transit across America is dangerous. And these liberals -- liberal mayors -- they want everybody out of cars and into trains but they made the trains unsafe so nobody really wants to ride them ... even big men don't want to ride the subway at those times of night."

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

Gomez on Hegseth: "He stood in front of a podium in Europe holding a drink! So of course we want to know if his performance is compromised. If your people were asking if General Austin was compromised because of a heart issue ... this is serious."

Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

Hegseth: My job, as it said, on top of that, everybody's seen it now. Team update is to provide updates in real time, general updates in real time. Keep everybody informed. That's what I did. That's my job.

Well, they lied. Obviously.

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

“Should the precise timing of an imminent surprise attack be classified as secret?” kinda answers itself.
