Having exausted all other options — having seen all other defenses fail — all our hopes for being rescued from one of the most deranged and stupid national leaders in history now rest with the highest and final authority in this country: the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

If they can illegally send anyone to an El Salvador prison illegally and not bring them back, they can illegally send you to an El Salvador prison and not bring you back. How can anyone defend this?

I very much recommend people watch this series of clips. I suggest doing so because I've noticed a lot of 2024 election analyses seem to 1) misrepresent what Harris said/did & 2) project upon Harris things she did not say/did not do.

I really do think we’re well beyond this point. If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

In this Ohio diner, recession still means the thing that happens to your gums after years of Snus and Mountain Dew. But they do know this: Any economic hardship is worth it as long as whatever happens to Blacks and Hispanics is even worse.

After speaking with far-right influencer Laura Loomer, Trump fired NSA Director Timothy Haugh and other security officials with no explanation. I’m extremely concerned by what seems to be a split-second decision & this lack of transparency. The American people need answers now.
