Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

what a delightfully charming oopsie from the septuagenarian with the nuclear codes 👍👍 www.cbsnews.com/news/h-r-mcm...

The Boston Tea Party literally happened because Britain had us pay tariffs on goods we imported. The exact same thing Trump is doing. Republicans can’t stay consistent for two fucking seconds. DO SOMETHING.

The Social Security Administration is now wrongly informing some SSI recipients they are no longer receiving benefits. This comes as agency cuts have led to repeated website crashes and overwhelmed phone lines.  This is what DOGE's "efficiency" looks like.

So we bounced 8% on a fake headline, sold off when people realized it was fake, and then bounced again when it occurred to people that if we bounced that much on a fake headline imagine how much we'd bounce on a hypothetical real one.

What the fuck took you so long??

On TV at the same time: NAVARRO: “This is not a negotiation.” LUTNICK: “Of course they are” open to negotiation. 🤡

This inarticulate fuckin clown has no idea what he’s doing

What To Know About The TikTok Sale theonion.com/what-to...

Checking in on Fox News amid the abject chaos in the markets caused by Donald Trump:

I know it's not cool to say anything nice about Biden, but want to remind everyone that the IRA caused a sudden growth in manufacturing investment. I wish he had done more, but there's a short term gain/long term gain way to rebuild manufacturing. It's call investment.

It's a real test for the Republican Party, who should know that the last time they decided not to fix an economy they destroyed, they lost the country for a generation, long enough even to turn over that high court of theirs.

GOP Senators voted to cancel Donold’s tariffs on Canada. I almost forgot that Congress could rebuke him if they really wanted to.

Trump loves to save the public from a crisis he caused but also hates showing weakness but also loves to make a deal but also loves to inflict pain, you can imagine the emotional tumult this is causing, my heart aches for him

The Dow Jones dropped 5% in 20 minutes because the White House shut down rumors that the President gives a fuck about us

Crazy stat: The top 1% own 50% of all stocks. The bottom 50% own 1% of all stocks.

Nothing illustrates how fragile the market is based on such a massive swing in 5 minutes over a fucking rumor.

How am I constantly amazed by the comically grotesque spin put on by this abysmal administration? “Record volume”?? We’re supposed to take comfort in a free-fall of the market???

He's in his bunker

Tim Walz: "It's not a 'woke policy' to provide food for children to get breakfast and lunch, and we get better outcomes from that. They defined things on their terms that weren't true ... we got timid."

The saddest thing about Trump's incoherent tariff policy is it will betray the working class voters who have seen 90,000 factories shut down. The left does not need to embrace economic nonsense to rebuild. FDR rejected high tariffs & relied on massive domestic investment.

Surprised that there's been scant commentary on the fact that there's no way the current customs and collection workforce can possibly understand and implement these tariffs in 5 days without causing an enormous backlog at the ports. Hope you liked supply shortages

NEW: There's no reason to act like Trump is pursuing a trade policy or an industrial revitalization strategy. These are just sanctions, imposed to intimidate countries and companies into submission like they're universities or law firms. They're what a mob boss would do. prospect.org/economy/2025...

Listen to the full quote and it’s completely incoherent nonsense.

folks come on I didn’t mean to really do it

Are you getting tired of all the winning?

lol

NYT calls FL06 for Republican Randy Fine, but a single-digit race when Mike Waltz won the seat by 30 is not good for the GOP.

If you want to see how normalized anti-Palestinian racism & Islamophobia is, Randy Fine just got elected to Congress. Fine praised the killing of a US citizen by the IDF, mocked the deaths of Palestinian babies, & said "Gaza must be destroyed" & its streets should "overflow with blood." Sick stuff.

Striking down an already gerrymandered house map does not also count as gerrymandering. They’re lucky they’ll only lose two seats. Would be even more if Dems gerrymandered it in their favor.

What did America's largest corporations do with their spoils from Trump's tax scam? Between 2017 and 2022: -Stock buybacks jumped 98% -Dividends increased by 40% -Meanwhile, wages only grew by 14% In some years these corporations paid their CEOs more than they paid in taxes.

Cory Booker in the back of the Uber tonight

Why the fuck is Ari Melber interviewing James Carville right now? James Carville, the one who famously urged Dems to do literally nothing to push back on Trump. Throw that dude in the trash.

Cory Booker still goin 15+ hours strong, now on the soap box about how Brooklyn stole the Nets from NJ
