More dolls. Or another fighter jet gets it.

I’m a patient man so I waited until we lost a third fighter jet to post this meme

The Fed didn't use the word "stagflation", but that's what it's warning about. Never a good moment when your central bank says that it's worried about *both* higher unemployment and higher inflation. That's a problem that monetary policy alone can't solve.

From a Latin American viewpoint, Trump deportations and deal with Bukele look a lot more like it is MS-13 that is using the US government to retaliate against Central Americans who tried to escape from their persecution.

Seriously? Fuck these people. This is important information for me as a consumer. Even if I didn't care about the planet, which I do, I'm gonna care about the size of my power bill. This move helps nobody.

lmao

So that's what Big Balls did with the terabytes of data he stole from the National Labor Relations Board a few weeks ago.

⚠️ India has launched a military operation targeting Pakistan.

Trans people are totally and royally fucked. We're facing generational oblivion as scotus greenlights eradication of trans people from society. If you want a preview of where we'll be in two years, look to Russia. Trans people are not safe in the US.

What would a homicidal cult do?

I'm proud to announce Rivian is constructing a new supplier park in Normal — creating jobs and attracting investments from across the globe to Illinois. We aren’t just making EVs, we're creating an entire ecosystem that bolsters our workforce and strengthens the EV supply chain.

1. Trump says imposing tariffs on nearly every nation on earth is essential to force companies to make investments in the US instead of abroad But since taking office, the Trump Organization has announced new multi-billion $ development deals in the UAE, Qatar, India and Vietnam And NONE in the US

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

People are overwhelmed by the news coming out of the Trump admin -- so this is not registering in our minds yet. Process this. They are *ENDING DESEGREGATION*. Unless Trump's DOJ is stopped--Black folk can now be excluded from your public or private school.

Once again, the main goal of Trump's tariffs is soliciting bribery. That is why all who go looking for a coherent (if misguided) economic strategy that aims to benefit the country come away confused. Make manufacturing boom? Stop fentanyl? Generate revenue to replace income tax? Nope. Corruption.

I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be: We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.

This is what front-loading looks like ahead of tariffs. Great chart from Arbor:

Should this happen, the event would be countered by a massive turnout of citizens protesting his birth.

How does no one sitting at that table not say, "300,000 kids? The fuck are you talking about, Captain Brainworm?"

Seeing clips of VP Harris’ speech last night and I don’t think I’ll ever get over what we lost by not electing her. We could’ve had a joyful, qualified, competent, pro-youth champion. Instead we have a felon willingly walking us into a recession…

Mayday = HELP ME May Day = Help me... pick these flowers

NEWS: Dropkick Murphys will be headlining the Unite for Veterans, Unite for America Rally on June 6 in Washington, DC! Join thousands of troops, veterans, and our families and stand with us as we demand that our government keep its promises to our communities!

This deserves some good coverage: tariffs giving “cover” for other price hikes that are unrelated to trade.

We’re cooked

Republicans just voted down my amendment on the Oversight committee that would nullify their budget cuts if the President defies a Supreme Court ruling. Why? Chair Comer said that the budget could actually be nullified. He conceded that Trump is and can defy a ruling.

I know there's a lot going on, but I would like to highlight that Mike Johnson slipped language into an otherwise routine House procedural vote yesterday that now blocks Democrats from forcing an investigation into Pete Hegseth’s Signal scandal, through October.

This is entirely self-imposed by Trump's own policies and his chaos. As recently as late-February, we were still projecting growth to continue apace. But Trump liberated us from economic growth with a terrible set of policies.

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. economy shrinks by 0.3% in first quarter of 2025, first drop in three years as Trump trade wars disrupt businesses.

That's how we SHOULD react. +++ Use ICE Memo to justify permanent no knock option with charges for anyone resisting in any way. Use GOP House to block any investigations/info. Arrest judges & claim their Left. Use USPS police as person ICE/police. They are coming www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Shame on you @duckworth.senate.gov

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.

My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine. This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs. We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.

Maybe someone will make an Amazon browser addon that shows the tariffs markup that Amazon now refused to show. Call the addon BIAP Bezos Is A Pussy.

Chumbus says hello

WSJ: The S&P 500 just ended the day with its biggest loss in the first 100 days of a new presidential term since Nixon's in 1973.

Keep in mind. Trump isn’t giving all these ICE Agents directions individually. They are choosing to do this. Stealing money. Making girls stand in the rain in their underwear. That’s their choice. Because people who chose to be ICE Agents chose it for pain it causes.

UPS plans to fire 20,000 people before the end of the year, in the midst of a Trump-induced drop in deliveries from Amazon, the postal service’s biggest customer. This amounts to a staggering 4 percent of its workforce. UPS will also shut down 73 buildings. newrepublic.com/post/194559/...

I mean WHAT THE FUCK?!

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

the jobs of the future, where you will be a hereditary serf producing goods for your betters
