ISC census shows a drop of 2.4% in pupil numbers. The Times tries to hype this up but the ISC previous claimed numbers would drop by 25%. My estimate was 3-5% by next year. www.thetimes.com/article/893e...

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

The idea that the Trump administration is doing tariffs to benefit working people is hilarious. These corrupt billionaires don’t give a single fuck about working people. They want to get rid of taxes on the rich and make working people pay for the government through tariffs. It’s a shakedown.

Of late, I often find myself thinking of the late great John Weeks and his repeated warning, in the last decade or so of his life, that neoliberalism leads to fascism. This was written in 2014. www.opendemocracy.net/en/can-europ...

a 'your possessions and money don't actually matter' approach is sure to work with Americans, a public notoriously amenable to sacrificing for the greater good, as Jimmy Carter's second term attests.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

Wow this is wild. James: "The Trump team didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

I'm not sure that all the US economic and political elites who have signed up to Trumpism 2.0 understands where this sort of economic self-immolation ends up politically.

The standout madness in the general madness are the enormous tariffs on South East Asia which, if these stick, is going to magnify China's sphere of influence. Geopolitical lunacy.

Could I please ask the press to stop reporting Trump’s rather arbitrary numbers of the tariffs other countries impose as though this were real? The WTO has a tariff database. You can look up the real numbers there.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

Elon Musk spent $25 million dollars on a single Supreme Court race, handed out giant checks to voters, lost by 10 points--and then accused the left of being corrupt. World historic levels of Loser Energy.

The debate that seems to be unfolding today about how much tax the top 1% of earners in the UK pay should begin from the fact that we're discussing a small group of people who now account for approaching 10% of household income: a rich minority whose share of incomes has trebled since 1980.
