The only thing that would be surprising about the $400 million to Tesla would be if Trump doesn't actually do it.

Well... that's something.

Part 1 of what happened at the Kootenai legislative townhall last night.

A fun number that I didn't know about....

"...estimated some 50 of his colleagues had been let go, with dozens more on neighboring forests." Valley County has a population around 12,000. Sketchy, back of the envelope calculation could put 50 around 10% of the working population...

Kelly Grenquist, a recently fired Forest Service wildlife technician on Idaho's Payette NF, is set to lose her employee housing. This is what she told me her plan is: "Just start driving until you can be homeless and not freeze to death, and then stop there and see where I can find a job."

I am not sure that you can overstate the economic impact of these firings. The loss of a dozen full-time year-round jobs in rural Idaho towns can destroy the economic engine. Challis, Salmon, Stanley, and McCall are a few communities in the southern half of the state that I'm sure are reeling.

Old enough to remember when the GOP was the "party of law and order".

⏰⏰⏰ House Republicans just released their Budget plan. Here's what's in it: -Trillions in tax cuts for the rich - At least $1.5 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, school lunch, Pell grants (and more). Literally paying for tax breaks for the rich with cuts to healthcare and food.

Well, Trump has been told by the Supreme Court that he is above the law so......

It's a big deal

We are no longer a serious nation.

So here's a thought. What if all the rest of the White House press corps stopped showing up until the AP's reinstated?

So the White House Correspondents Association pulled every reporter out of all the briefings and events for the day, right? Just left a single pooler on disaster watch? Didn't have anyone from the White House on shows as a guest?

Sad day! The red pandas are my favorite

Can't really be bothered that Arsenal have picked a mostly meaningless match to have one of their worst games of the season.

Any question as to the value of having a striker has been answered time and again by Newcastle in the Carabao Cup. #COYG

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

He is creating recruitment propaganda for Islamist terrorist groups

Between this sound bite and the piece about USA taking over the Gaza strip.... tariffs on our allies..... eliminating USAID..... is he intentionally making the US the most reviled nation in the world?

Please stop marching out Schumer. Please

Happy Sunday Gooners 🔴

Ethan Nwaneri's goal ended a passing sequence of 36 uninterrupted passes in a move that lasted one minute & 54 seconds and involved every Arsenal outfield player. It was the longest passing move leading to a Premier League goal since September 2023.

One GOP proposal takes aim squarely at parents raising children on their own by eliminating the “head of household” filing status to reap some $200B more in taxes over a decade from single parents and other adults caring for dependents on their own.

The clearest explanation of tariffs I’ve ever heard

Again, I don’t understand how threatening the territorial sovereignty of, & starting trade wars on the basis of national security laws with, our closest ally in the world is not an immediate presidency-ending scandal. We are deeply unserious country whose constitution has completely failed.

How might tariffs affect you? Most immediately, at the grocery store, depending on how details shake out. Per CNN, last year, the US imported $11 billion worth of fruit, $9.6 billion worth of vegetables and $3 billion of grains from Mexico alone. From Canada, $8.6 b in grains, $5 b in veggies.

Under the bill, a family earning between $55,000 and $91,000 would expect to see a tax break of about $127, according to the nonpartisan Idaho Center for Fiscal Policy. Meanwhile, the top 1% of Idaho earners making $738,300 and above would receive a tax cut of about $5,358, according to the center.

When a man known for wearing large clocks and yelling his name has a better response to tragedy than the President.....

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.
