During his campaign, Donald Trump promised to deliver great wealth and lower prices. Today, his administration is urging Americans to return to subsistence agriculture. wapo.st/3DtWRFw

CEO Worked Way Up From Son Of CEO theonion.com/ceo-wor...

BREAKING: "At 1:15 PM tomorrow, President Trump will pick a country's name out of a MAGA hat and impose crippling tariffs on that country's goods for four minutes. This will happen daily until America is great again."

Pete Hegseth has gotten the Pentagon to scrub a photo of a B-29 Superfortress ‘The Enola Gay’ (named for the pilot's mother). It was the plane that dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, but the pilot's mother's name was "Gay." We are not just a country being run by bigots, we are one run by stupid ones.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

NRA Gives Dead Schoolchildren ‘F’ Rating

Our stock market is crashing. Our economy is contracting. Our government is dismantling. Our allies are fleeing. Our grocery prices are rising. But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America." So it all evens out.

Call it by its name: Trumpcession

Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no." This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

As the Trump administration works to dissolve USAID, our new poll finds that two-thirds of the public believe these actions will increase illness and death in low-income countries, and a similar majority believe it will result in more humanitarian crises around the world.

“Bird flu does not fully explain the sticker shock consumers experience… corporate consolidation is a key culprit behind egg price spikes,” said Amanda Starbuck, lead author of the FWW report The Economic Cost of Food Monopolies: The Rotten Egg Oligarchy. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

RFK Jr. Vows To Make Measles Deaths So Common They Won’t Be Upsetting Anymore theonion.com/rfk-jr-...

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

I believe Musk and DOGE disbanded 18F because we stood in the way of their "procurement capture" operation. We get the government *out* of wasteful contracts. Musk wants that money back for himself. Explanation by @anildash.com of procurement capture: www.anildash.com/2025/01/04/D...

party time!!

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

NOAA Cuts Leave Wind Chimes As Sole Predictor Of Approaching Hurricanes

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

Rousseau would have been a great blogger I think.

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

Pulitzer Feeling Increasingly Out Of Place In Washington Post Office

Trump asking Democrats in Congress to fund his crime-spree administration because his own party cannot untie its shoelaces is a pretty good rewrite of the old joke about the man who killed his parents then asked for clemency because he was an orphan.

Are we really going to FAFO with the damn Bermuda Triangle?

Nadir Of Western Civilization To Be Reached This Friday At 3:32 P.M. theonion.com/nadir-o...

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

While we are cutting costs it’s pretty clear that all of the Republicans in Congress could be very inexpensively replaced

Sign of the day…

This is indeed brilliant
