Everything Scott Bessent said today was wrong. Our GDP growth has slowed, job numbers are down, and the big beautiful bill will raise the deficit by trillions. We are worse off today than we were last year, and while Bessent says it’s a distraction, Americans don’t just see—they feel—the truth.

Covered countless press conferences in 20+ yrs in journalism. I've seen critics, including elected officials, show up to question/confront speakers. I've never seen anything like this in response.

While I was slicing up bits of video for this thread/post, we got confirmation that the commanding officers at Fort Bragg set this up deliberately. This should be career-ending for those responsible. If not, it's "game over" for even the appearance of an apolitical, democratic military in the US.

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. The Holodomor, the Ukrainian famine of the 1930s caused by Moscow, left scars still shape Ukraine today. Oles, whose family survived the famine, explains how Ukrainian parenting and cuisine are shaped by the tragedy.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

<Thread> I figure I need to explain how extreme and irresponsible is the June 7 Memorandum federalizing the National Guard and authorizing regular armed forces. Those saying anything in support of this action may not realize what they’ve gotten into. (It will also escalate from here.) Preview⤵️

"said the change was necessary because the committee is rife with conflicts of interest and most members receive funding from drugmakers." Lies. All of them just lie. ALL of them. Kennedy dismisses entire US CDC vaccine panel, replacing all 17 members - www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

imagine, as a Congress member, seeing egregious rights violations daily and saying well it's time for a very strongly-worded social media post

Almost every protest in my life is described initially as a "peaceful protest" that "devolves" into unrest or vandalism or violence or whatever else. There's a quiet sit-in going on in front of the federal building. All local businesses are still open. But the headline's now "Waymos on fire"
