“Declining Foreign Participation in US Treasury 30-Year Auctions” (via Apollo)

When asked about drones while visiting a country with no trees, our current president spent thirteen minutes speaking about hunky lumberjacks. Here’s why the cognitive state of a former president deserves our attention.

The White House is pushing a rule change that could let Trump fire government economists if their numbers don’t match his political agenda. Experts are sounding the alarm. They say this could gut the credibility of the U.S. government’s economic data.

Guys can we just revoke this baby’s victim card? So beta Seriously such a beta. This guy is absolutely unworthy to be commander of military men and women

"CBS News faced another shock wave... after its president, Wendy McMahon, abruptly said that she would exit her post, the latest development in an ongoing showdown between the news division and President Trump." The hobbling of the free press continues.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

The Director of the FBI is openly lying to the American public about Canada being a major source of fentanyl. In the first three months of 2025, a grand total of 1.35 lbs of fentanyl was seized by border officials at our border with Canada — 0.06% of total seizures.

THE BILL ADDS TRILLIONS TO THE DEFICIT AFTER THE MEDICAID CUTS

NYT: “.. People making between about $51,000 and $17,000 could lose about $700 on average in after-tax income .. “By contrast, the top 0.1 percent, including those with incomes over $4.3 million, would gain on average more than $389,000 ..” @tonyromm.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/u...

“A big beautiful bill for billionaires” It’s shit for the rest of us…

Since March, President Trump has been using the Allen Enemies Act to unlawfully deport people. So we took him to court.

KARL: Is a trade deficit subsidizing Canada? RAND PAUL: No. They're really not related at all. What happens if we trade with another country because they have less expensive goods is we become richer. You also have more money you can spend.

Fact-check: True

Great question

Why does he wear orange make-up in the first place? Can anyone explain it?!

Pres, Gagliardi, of the 🇺🇸 Federation of Musicians: “We will not remain silent as 2 of our members Bruce Springsteen & Taylor Swift r singled out & personally attacked by the POTUS. S&S r not just brilliant musicians, they r role models & inspirations 2 millions of ppl in the US & across the🌍” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The End of the Rule of Law in America The 47th president seems to wish he were king — and he is willing to destroy what is precious about this country to get what he wants.

Here they go.

Rand Paul on the reconciliation bill: "The problem is it's asking conservatives like myself to raise the debt ceiling $5 trillion. That's historic. Nobody has ever raised the debt ceiling that much ... where are the cuts? If the cuts are real why are we gonna borrow $5 trillion?"

😂

dude's brain is gone

RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA

someone tell jake tapper and the rest of the dc media club that theres an elderly out of touch man with his hands on the nukes. oh wait, he's a republican. doesnt count.

I don’t mean to sound Woke or partisan but this upset me a bit

House Republicans are gearing up to pass a disastrous bill to slash Medicaid and give a big tax break to the wealthiest Americans.

If second-term Trump does actually get a nuclear accord with Iran, which actually prevents war with Iran, many - including on the left - will want to credit & praise him. And yet we are only on the brink of war because first-term Trump tore up Obama’s nuclear deal with in 2017!

He threatened Putin with sanctions if he didn’t sign the ceasefire. He didn’t, Trump did nothing. Then he threatened sanctions again and Putin blew off peace talks in Turkey. And all this weak loser has to say about it is this complete load of bullshit. Trump is Putin’s bitch.

Putin is too much of a coward to meet face to face with Zelensky to talk peace, so he will instead send thousands more of his country’s young men to die for absolutely no reason, and Trump will continue to lie and tell us how much warmonger mass-murderer Putin really wants peace.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he supports a ban on stock trading by members of Congress amid controversy about well-timed trades during recent market volatility.

DeLAURO: Are you planning to break the law by impounding appropriated funds? RFK Jr: If you appropriate the funds, I'm going to spend them D: We have! You're cutting the NIH by $18b. Congress appropriated those funds. How can you justify cutting billions from the biomedical research budget?

Dereliction of duty.

Yeah, that tracks. @nbcnews.com

Priorities.

Last night's town hall with @votevets.org reminded me why conversations like this matter - and why a better future is still possible, but it's up to each of us to make it a reality.

Good lord. 🤡 @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
