"The Government knows there’s nothing similar between household borrowing and government borrowing. But it also knows that you don’t know that. (Because no one ever explains this properly.) So why use this metaphor if it’s so misleading?" www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Have you guys noticed that Trump still hasn’t even mentioned the storms in Kentucky that killed at least 30 people? Republicans are pretty quiet about the lack of response too. Outrage under Biden, silence now that he’s president. That’s how you know he never really cared.

West Point graduates this morning sat through a commencement speech about having courage given by a treasonous convicted felon who also happens to be a 5x draft dodging coward who has never served anyone but himself. Depraved, despicable and embarrassing.

Just asked 4 coworkers if they knew about CECOT and how people are being deported there. None of them had any idea. I am hoping these disturbing results are mainly due to my small sample size

Trump offered the same deal to Evangelicals that Satan offered to Jesus on the mountaintop after his 40 days & 40 nights in the wilderness. Earthly power to the Evangelicals in return for slavish loyalty to Trump. Jesus said no to Satan. Evangelicals said yes to the Antichrist.

When you are elected president, you are supposed to be president of the whole country. And protect the whole country, from natural disasters and more. No state should be denied critical funding simply because of how they voted.

My favorite part of Andor was when Disney Plus paused smack in the middle of the mass slaughter of civilians and the most important character progression moment of the season to show me two minutes of commercials for car dealerships and pharmaceuticals.

In times like this, integrity matters. Well done 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 Top lawyers walked out of Paul Weiss to start their own firm—right after the firm cut a shady deal with the White House to dodge an executive order that would’ve limited its business. Some folks still have a spine.

Secretary of Homeland Security doesn't know what #HabeasCorpus is or what amendment/article it's written in the #constitution 🤯🤦‍♂️ He says: "Kristi Noem didn't Google it either..." This is embarrassing. The entire regime is completely unqualified & threat to America

What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.

Remember the 2nd case like Abrego Garcia, involving the gay man deported to Mexico n/w/s having been terrorized and held for ransom there? Judge Murphy orders the US to bring him back. not facilitate, not effectuate, bring him back.

Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council have been abruptly dismissed as part of a sweeping overhaul that slashes the staff from over 300 to just 50. The move shifts the NSC’s role from policymaking to simply carrying out the president’s directives.

“Trump may be brilliant at assaulting us with his daily distractions, but Democrats need to relentlessly target his corruption because that may be his weak spot. He is running the government in a pre-modern way—like it's his own personal piggy bank.” #Corruption open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
