“As a businessman, Trump spent a lot of his career profoundly in debt,” writes @davidfrum.bsky.social. “His bankers often bailed him out, and he seems to believe that the Federal Reserve should do the same for his presidency”:

Under the gentle-parenting schema, a child’s every act must be seen through a lens of anxiety and threat-detection, which heightens the parent’s dual role of child psychologist and emotional security guard.

The irony of all of this is that Powell is probably one of the last forces there is in government actually trying to keep the wheels on Trumps economy. Amazing the penchant this man has for self-sabotage.

I know this isn't the biggest point, but note the complete absence of criticism for Bukele wearing a black sweater, instead of a shirt and tie. It seems if you are "the world's coolest dictator" and willing to become a US prison annex, turning up looking like a pimp in an off-Broadway musical is ok.

Opinion | In under 3 months, Donald Trump has shown himself to be the greatest threat to American democracy we've ever experienced. There is no way I will vote for him again unless I get a massive tax cut.

Dutton was running around yesterday, screeching that “ the Russians are coming, the Russians are coming! “ and howling about “ a catastrophic failure of Australian diplomacy.” It was total bullshit. Worse it was grossly irresponsible.

Frankly the fact that Michael Pezzullo still seems to be treated by our Influential Organs as a serious contributor, rather than the sleazy influence merchant he is, marks this country as profoundly unserious.

Mike Pezzullo was disgraced as a public servant amongst the APS, but not as someone reliable and available to give comment to journalists, which ironically, was why he was disgraced as a public servant

Do not mince words. The "prison" in El Salvador is a concentration camp, and Trump is paying Bukele to run it. He's also urging him to build more. These are CONCENTRATION CAMPS.

So Peter Dutton thinks it is a catastrophic failure on the prime minister and foreign minister’s part that they did not know that a non existent Russian military base request to Indonesia did not happen. No scruples, no balance.

Marco Rubio is prepared to cut all aid to NATO and the UN, and he's revoking visas of students who've committed no crimes. But he's always come across as weak and submissive, so we'll keep on branding him a moderate for his entire career.

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process. If you aren’t outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.

One 2028 Dem would clearly raise the most money, draw the biggest crowds, and dominate the online discourse. That doesn’t mean you win the Super Bowl but it probably means you’re playing in it.

This election campaign is pretty depressing in terms of the vision being presented for our country. But Dutton rolling out his 20-year-old son to ppl to pretend that he, Dutton the Dad, ‘gets’ how hard it is for parents watching their kids struggle - WHEN HE’S A MULTIMILLIONAIRE is so gross

Not a golf guy but that was a great day: The 19 holes of drama, Rory’s reaction and hug-filled walk, Jim Nantz not saying a word during it, then Rory saying: “Gotta go get a green jacket.” So much to be cynical about in this world, but these were legitimately great sports moments.

The big parties offered new policies for first home buyers yesterday. Labor’s addresses housing supply - the Liberals did not - but the economists say both will likely push housing prices up. The parties lack the courage for real tax reform: you’ll only get it from independents like me.
