A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

"Matthew warns of false prophets: 'You will know them by their fruits.' Today, you will also know them by their fans. And in Western society...some of his most ardent fans are deeply troubled people." @nataliaantonova.bsky.social from the archives:

@aoc.bsky.social is 💯 correct! @schumer.senate.gov is gutless and going against all of his constituents very loud voices to hold the line!

This 👇

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

“we have to be able to commit war crimes to win wars” is the type of thing a 16-year-old dumbass says and — well, yeah, hegseth is basically a 16-year-old dumbass

Watching Senate Democrats punch themselves in the dick for the guy they called Hitler is super fun ain’t it?

We've had a lot of recessions, but this is the first one that is completely unforced and entirely owed to just one person. What part of Trump promising "lower prices on day one" meant a market crash, economic recession, and surging prices?

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill. They vote in the morning. ☎️: (202) 224-4451

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

and not a single person alive is surprised by this

holy shit this question at the Rep. Chuck Edwards town hall 🔥🔥🔥

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

President Trump expected to invoke a wartime authority (Alien Enemies Act) to deport immigrants without due process. Wartime? And yet: "The Department of Defense is not expected to have a role in the invoking of the authority." Because it's not a war. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

Musk and Trump could not possibly be sending a clearer signal that the Tesla protests are working than this pathetic stunt today.

"Trump is a soulless sociopath. This is not news. But without the Vances, Rubios, and Thiessens of the world, he would not be quite the danger to the Atlantic alliance, peace, and security that he is."

The ability to control mass party opinion this directly is unlike anything I’ve really seen in my time covering politics.

American egg producers are said to be facing a Justice Department investigation as the price of eggs skyrockets.

A Michigan corrections officer has been sentenced to 17.5yrs in federal prison for distributing CSAM. He was originally facing charges for the sexual exploitation of a 15yr old, but those got dropped as part of the plea. Enjoy prison, Corrections Officer Ethan Eversman. 🫡

All the pundits spending time on Dems’ message on trans sports could maybe use a little of their power and platform to talk about how vile this is.

One of the research studies set to be culled from National Science Foundation grants for being "woke" is 'Developing a device that could treat severe bleeding. It seems to have caught the committee’s attention for using the words “victims” — as in gunshot victims — and “trauma.”' - @propublica.org

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

To every American tuning in to Trump’s address tonight, do two things before you watch: Check your 401k. Check your last grocery bill, and add 25%. No matter what the President says tonight, that’s the reality of what he’s doing to your family finances.

Is it safe to assume that Russia itself now has access to computers inside the US Treasury, IRS, FAA, FBI, CIA, etc.?

Nobody should be surprised that our Secretary of State is a pathetic, weak, cowardly piece of shit.

Yup.

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board comes out swinging against JD Vance. Indeed, key moment in downward spiral was Vance lashing out in response to Zelenskyy's point on diplomacy with Putin WSJ: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."

How disgusting. There is no bottom.
