Exactly. Why are you masked?

Duffy changed his wife's flight to make sure she avoided Newark Airport. Then went on a podcast yesterday and told everyone it's safe to fly from there. These people are as evil as they are incompetent.

My latest Econ Quick Takes video is on US government debt. How much do we owe and to whom do we owe it? Should we be worried about it? #EconSky youtu.be/eD30ZSD9ZG4

The port of Seattle, normally busy with container ships from China, is like a ghost town. Crickets.

Trump is the threat! The last time the US legally imposed tariffs it was done by Congress.

The market is tanking because Trump’s threatening to take over the Fed Reserve. Along with tariffs, trade war with China, is this a deliberate plan to weaken the dollar to benefit his new crypto holdings and the ruble?

Are these all red because that’s the MAGA color? Is this good? Has the Golden Age started?

Ukraine is beating Russia—sinking their fleet without a navy, killing 800,000+ invaders, and holding the line for 3 years. Donald Trump wants to save Putin. He won’t say Russia is the aggressor. Let’s be clear: there’d be a cease-fire if Russia…stopped. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/ukraine-is...

Among the programs featured in this column (which you should read): Head Start, which Trump and Musk have sabotaged and are now planning on eliminating. Leaving 750,000 children without access to preschool or child care.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

I am absolutely not a fan of this man, that said, he’s completely correct and the messaging here is 💯

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Dow Down 2200+ Points Fox:

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

What could go wrong? “Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.”

Pilot to Hegseth: "You’re going to kill somebody.” For the safety of our troops, Hegseth has got to go.

T’wasn’t a flask of Old Crow, so t’wasn’t Hegseth’s kin.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

WASHINGTON STATE:

Sen. Duckworth told @maddow.msnbc.com she was using her "Army language" (which gave us 'snafu' and 'fubar') in her statement. Imagine being a fighter pilot on an aircraft carrier or Blackhawk flying low towards a target wondering if your mission is "clean on opec." $^*&% thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Thanks for the reminder, Karoline. I just subscribed to The Atlantic. You should too.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
