Note to fellow journos: If only one "economist" agrees w Trump tariffs—as evidenced by fact that this particular "economist" is now being interviewed and cited everywhere as only "expert" willing to publicly defend them—consider confirming that he's actually an "economist." Check CVs, for example.

Mocking Trump's economic policies is like shooting fish in a barrel. It's fun until you remember that we're all in that barrel.

Remember the task now is to disseminate the images of the protests to people who didn’t see them and project a sense of their size and significance. Huge numbers of people turned out today, let’s make their dedication count!

Lutnick on CBS on a viral video of him smearing people who might complain about missing Social Security checks as fraudsters: "That's just taking my statements out of context." "I hear ya. I wonder if the seniors will," the host replies.

NEW: Donald Trump announced the US was imposing reciprocal tariffs on a small collection of Antarctic islands that are not inhabited by humans, as part of a global trade war aimed at asserting US dominance. The Heard and McDonald Islands are known for their populations of penguins.

I think I’d have an easier time handling this vile shit if it wasn’t all so insultingly dumb. Sometimes, the simultaneity of such rabid stupidity and the unspeakable harm this guy is causing on a global scale is just a bit much. Almost disorienting.

I just got a public death threat from a few folks who noticed I am doing a library event to talk about my career and my books. They called me all the familiar names, then “I won’t be sad if someone shoots her in the face.” And a woman’s reply, “Right between the eyes.” I am a children’s author.

Everyone knows this has nothing to do with countering antisemitism, right? The president who pardoned a criminal who violently attacked America while wearing a "Camp Auschwitz" shirt, and in speeches sorts Jewish Americans into Good Jews and Bad Jews, is definitely not trying to reduce antisemitism.
