They’re just gonna run the clock out on this thing, aren’t they? I’m kinda surprised; my money was always on it going to Larry Ellison

Not at all shady, not in the slightest

Oh shit, @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social did you see this? Steve Bannon has endorsed Gavin Wax to be the next FCC commissioner: x.com/RaheemKassam...

To paraphrase Stephen Colbert, “AI has a well-known woke bias” 🙃 (This is a joke, btw)

Aaaaaand it’s back over 300 now. Joy is fleeting

If you think he's mad now, wait until he finds out the resale price for Teslas.

METLIFE: “.. the [unrounded] unemployment rate has increased every month in 2025. “.. Job leavers dropped to their lowest level since COVID. Although the headline offers solace to those expecting a benign outcome in the face of higher volatility, the details show an ongoing softening.”

Back in 2007, a new Lil Wayne album would’ve made my day. In 2025, it barely registers, makes me cringe

A consumer who’s afraid to quit their job is an important ‘tell’. (via RenMac) 🇺🇸

A big relief to see a big nothingburger. Payrolls grew a splendidly dull +139k, and unemployment is unchanged at 4.2%. The economic expansion is still on, albeit at a somewhat slower rate. And this despite federal jobs falling -22k.

Employment Situation Report headlines. Will have some more analysis later.

I wonder if Vivek feels like he dodged a bullet, or wishes he was part of the story (for the ego boost)?

This means very little because it’s all part of the show, but Trump’s first two posts this morning have been: poll trutherism (apparently he’s way more popular than the polls show 🙄), and one that just reads “Groceries, gasoline, energy.” As to the latter…

What the Hali?!

Alleged Telegram chats from the College Republicans national prez are being shared on Twitter (by groypers, which is why I won’t link to them) in which he directs members to not say anything against Trump *but* notes that if Trump gets impeached, they are to immediately back Vance.

Alex has finally weighed in: He claims he will “follow the facts” wherever they lead (lmao), pretty much on Trump’s side, but oddly playing the middle. Says the “warning signs” will be if Trump dodges press conferences, doesn’t post, and slow rolls the Epstein files release

Every worker deserves a union.

Rep. Sarah McBride beat me to it, and rn Fox is using it in their chyron. So I think it’s official

BREAKING: Ming Li "Carol" Hui has been released from prison by ICE, her lawyer confirms to me. She's headed home to the Missouri town where she's lived for 20 years. She still could face deportation, so the battle continues. Our interview with her from jail: newrepublic.com/article/1959...

So, do we know what we’re calling this yet? I wanna call it the “Big Beautiful Breakup,” has anyone coined that yet?

“Everybody welcoming this, welcoming that/ He wasn’t welcome in the first place, how we welcome him back?”

Trump's memecoin is down 12%

Today should make clear that nobody should even be a billionaire.

In other news… BWAHAHAHAHAHA suck it Steelers! (Sorry, Pittsburghers)

Elon Musk has said: The Trump tariffs will cause a recession in the second half of this year.

Most transparent administration in history 🙃

“Dear god, it’s beautiful”

Does Trump know that Musk paid $0 in federal income taxes in recent years? Does Musk know that Trump has paid little to no fed'l income tax in many years? Do they know they could really hurt each other by supporting a billionaires unrealized gains tax? www.propublica.org/article/the-...

Welcome to a moment in history

Elon just accused Trump of being in the Epstein files 🤯🤣
