CNN: "Breaking just moments ago. New data showing consumers cut back spending sharply last month ... this does appears to at least partially be driven by a hangover from tariffs."

"They have it now where — have you seen it? — the bullets can go back into the guns. Zip. It's new. It's called: Tenet. And it's perfect. My generals keep telling me that we can use Tenet. So that's what we're going to do."

Sen Lee’s comments/jokes/tweets were despicable and beyond what a citizen would expect of a sitting senator. The do not represent the values of Americans. And for his staff not to call him out, you are complicit. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

Good question.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

This one of abrupt shift into lunacy is tragically common now and I park it at the feet of social media and its irresponsible leaders. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Inasmuch as the Trump admin has any consistent tactical approach to policy, I think they just get up in the morning and say to themselves, what’s the most evil, destructive, and stupid thing I could do today? Then they do it. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

Donald Trump's White House even now contains staffers convinced he is unfit to be president, a former senior administration official who famously spoke out anonymously about such concerns during Trump's first term said.

Prediction: Lee will push out some kind of half-assed “I’m sorry if anyone was offended” apology shortly. That will be followed a few weeks later by a post comparing Amy Klobuchar to Eva Braun.

@smith.senate.gov: "I think [Mike Lee] was sort of stunned to be coming face to face with somebody who was really calling him out on his bullshit... The way that people like Mike Lee and others on the right take advantage of the worst kind of human tragedy and political violence... is unacceptable."

Six-month capex expectations from Empire Fed survey. New cycle low.

Just so I’m clear… Terry Moran got fired, but Mike Lee is still a sitting US senator?

NONE of this would be happening if Trump were not in the White House.

The Asshole-in-Chief.

🍸 this really isn’t the best time to have an alcoholic Secretary of Defense…😵‍💫

🗣️ Extra! Extra! Millions of Americans took to the streets to cry NO KINGS! Read all about it! (Just not in the New York Times)

FIFA Club World Cup ticket sales tank dramatically after the Dept. of Homeland Security bragged that agents would be “suited and booted" at the stadium in a now-deleted social media post

Imagine if Merrick Garland had swiftly prosecuted Trump after Jan. 6?!

The Trump 🤡 Hypocritic Oath is still intact. ✅

It was inevitable. Scump reams out Kegsbreath for mediocre parade. Well, he had to blame someone. Truth be told, it's his own fault. $45 million could have fed and housed a lot of veterans. #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

For decades, US presidents from both parties used a simple formulation for defining a tyrant: a leader who threatens or uses military force to suppress their domestic political opposition. Now we have a president doing just that and conservatives are cheering. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

One of the first signs of mental illness is trusting strangers on the internet.

70,000 people marched through Seattle at the No Kings rally. It was loud, it was huge, and it was only a start. While downtown swelled with speeches, ICE tear-gassed protesters in Tukwila. Showing up once isn’t enough. The fight doesn’t end when the march does.

Every fucking day.

"Trump Drops Papers He Just Signed and Mistakenly Refers to the U.K. as ‘The European Union’" As I said today, Trump looks very ill. The White House is hiding from us Trump's condition. His illness is likely why he suddenly left G7 tonight www.mediaite.com/politics/tru...

The man who shot Democrats in Minnesota and planned to kill pro-choice activists had been a registered Republican when he lived in Oklahoma, viewed "abortion as murder," had attended Trump rallies and voted for Trump. He was a MAGA terrorist. Corporate media should be calling him that!

Donald Trump unleashed his rage on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after last weekend's military parade failed to project the intimidating image the president craved, according to explosive new revelations from biographer Michael Wolff.

She's evil......

This senator should be Censured or Removed from office. This is disgraceful

I sure hope MN officials are involved in Boelter's interrogation, b/c I'm pretty sure FBI HQ isn't interested in how he was radicalized, and the country needs to know, to be prepared for more.

The New York Times may have a policy of no longer endorsing local candidates, but sometimes you just have to step in when you have such a promising serial sexual harasser who helped facilitate the deaths of many people in assisted living facilities.
