New in PN: Republicans are trying to sell a bizarre fantasy on the economy "As they craft a radical budget bill, they're making claims as absurd as anything Trump offers, all adding up to a fantasy of the future so improbable that to examine it for a moment is to understand how ridiculous it is."

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

You can’t make this up: House Republicans snuck in a tanning bed tax break—in the same damn bill that slashes Medicaid, shutters hospitals, and steals beds from cancer patients. No wonder they vote in the dead of night.🙄 @fernandez.house.gov

The Hanford weather service office is closed for 5.5 hours every night due to critically low staffing levels. The Sacramento and Hanford offices collectively serve more than 7.3M Californians in the Central Valley and some of the state's most wildfire-prone landscape in the Sierra foothills. #CAwx

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses. Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence. Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

In most societies, the rich and powerful acceded to the rule of law solely because they realized that, as soon as ordinary people feel they’re getting screwed without any chance of peaceful redress, that’s when you get the pitchfork-wielding mobs.

The best case scenario is that this is a stock shorting scheme, and in a week, there will be masterful (non-existent) "dealmaking" that removes the tariffs after the billionaires buy the dip causing a massive transfer of wealth. That's the best case scenario.

This guy, a J6er who lost his bid for a U.S. House seat in West Virginia of all places, is a total idiot. ...As is anyone who believes that products in the U.S. aren't impacted by tariffs either directly or after companies hike their prices because they no longer have more affordable competitors.
