The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare. 👆🏻 This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.

Art of the deal 🤣😂🤣😂

And the ~20% would fall apart if one man – Farage – got hit by a bus.

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

The great climbdown continues.

"Trump lieutenants have walked out of meetings and earnestly asked one another if they thought Musk was high..." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

One day apart.

Not a day goes by that this isn't true.

The White House. The actual White House. This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

Jasmine Crockett tells it like it is…

Elon Musk and Trump’s tariff advisor Peter Navarro are now fighting publicly, with Navarro attacking Tesla and Musk calling Navarro a “moron” who’s “dumber than a sack of bricks.”

I don't share The S*n, but when I do... it's this Labour win 👇 🙂‍↕️

Martin Wolf: "The implicit assumption is that, in a fair world, trade would balance with every single partner. This is utter lunacy. Yet it has now become the intellectual basis of the trade policy of the world’s most powerful country" www.ft.com/content/d96d...

Missed Labour’s progress? Here’s 5 new laws they’ve passed already - and the Tories hate every one 👇

“It’s so shockingly dumb—yes, even for him—that it’s hard to believe that we have a president of the United States who is this ignorant” newrepublic.com/post/193614/...

Freiburg, Germany, Central Station Bookshop (right @the center of the shop‘s entryway): “This is a selection of books which are banned at schools in the US“. #UniteAgainstBookBans #FreedomToRead @ala-pla.bsky.social @librarypolicy.bsky.social

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

For those who are trying to claim this as a win:

The Reform Party civil war intensifies. Catherine Blaiklock, founder of the Brexit party, has apparently "reported Nigel Farage to the police" Although she goes on to add that the police did not take her claims seriously enough

Y’all gotta go read books. There’s no way around it. Read books. Form your own opinions. LEARN THINGS. READ BOOKS WHILE LIBRARIES ARE STILL AROUND

So, according to the far right gobshite, we needed economic Armageddon, the threat of a global trade war, and 10%tariffs on goods exports to the US to finally get the chance to take even more risks with our prosperity and national credibility. What a total fucking nightmare. He’s completely lost it.

There’s literally a post for every occasion.

It’s Farage who attracts them. Doesn’t matter what he calls the party.

Hadn’t noticed that polling in the coming Australian election has also, like the Canadian polling, swung towards the centre left incumbent government since Trump started smashing everything. Something for Tory and Reform Trump huggers to ponder. au.yougov.com/politics/art...

If a deranged president intentionally destroying the country's economy with a ludicrous obsession (and misunderstanding) of tariffs *isn't* justification for invoking the 25th Amendment, I honestly can't imagine any scenario that would be.

The editor of The Economist on Trump’s tariffs: ‘flawed economics, inaccurate history & cockamamie calculations used to justify the most wrong-headed & damaging policy decision in decades… These mindless tariffs will cause chaos. Almost everything Mr Trump said… was deluded’ 👏

Dark Pence is back.

Can everyone now see how this man tanked half a dozen resorts & casinos?

This is one hundred percent a case of a man completely obsessed with the idea of tariffs being told "no, bad" by every single smart person around him, and the flip to "it's gonna cause some pain" rhetoric was when they finally got through to him. But his stupid stubborn ego won't let him back down.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

This is a United States Senator MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities BANKS: You probably deserved it MACK: Why did I deserve it? BANKS: Because you look like a clown

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

Reform UK said it would be "the biggest rally in modern political history". Only in their imaginations. In reality it was a mid-size arena with a lot of empty seats.

Someone tell DOGE! Brutal photo by huff post i love it

“Being able to say you stuck to your fiscal rules may be a nice badge for Reeves to wear… [but] it is not one that a single other person in the country is going to care about when public services are still failing and living standards are still stagnating.” www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/austerity-...

In the past four weeks, Costco, which has embraced DEI initiatives, GAINED 7 million shoppers… Target, which got rid of DEI, LOST 5 million shoppers! That’s the power we have as consumers. Remember that.
