I asked Janet Yellen once whether Trump understands economic policy. “No” Thought that might be relevant for whatever he’s saying now about tariffs. (Which, I’ll again remind you, end in FFS)

My beloved local library just posted a notice detailing all the services, electronic and IRL, that the IMLS grants support. The letter went on to say that they are reviewing what is essential and what is not. So yes, fellow book group members, what this administration does WILL affect us.

Wild story: the acting Social Security chief was warned that terminating data collection contracts with Maine would increase fraud. But he responded that it didn't matter because it was more important to punish Maine's governor for disagreeing with Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

A note on JD Vance's repulsive response to the deportation of a Salvadoran in "error": The whole point of his stunt is to show that Trump feels free to remove people even when the law doesn't justify it. I spoke to the man's lawyer. Absolutely hair raising stuff: newrepublic.com/article/1934...
