this is an important point - data integration doesn't just happen at one level of government. so while the states have their own structures, federal data fuckery will cause problems for states & counties, which will cascade to cities & towns too

I’m leading a letter with Rep. Terri Sewell and 131 colleagues demanding answers from the White House, USTR, Treasury, Commerce, and the SEC. Who knew about Trump’s tariff reversal? When did they know? How did they know? $300B didn’t move by accident. This is market manipulation.

My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.

This is a 12 alarm fire for the economy. If being friends with the president and giving him kickbacks makes you exempt from large import taxes Vs your competitors, it will stratify the whole economy and push corruption and loyalty and political controls deep into the private sector

Picking up some subtle clues, perhaps elusive to NPR, that the administration doesn’t sincerely care about antisemitism. Well, except insofar as they think it’s awesome!

The cowards at Paul Weiss own this most of all, but they are joined in disgrace by Milbank, Willkie Farr, and Skadden. Trump suggested there are other firms that have agreed to debase themselves, but did not reveal the names.

JFC. WE ARE STILL WORSE OFF. We still have at least 10% global tariffs. Businesses can’t make decisions, as they don’t know what tariffs will be 90 days from now I usually say Trump is great at repackaging the status quo as victory but this is significantly worse than pre-Liberation Day status quo

NEW: An unsigned agreement between the Department of Labor and DOGE shows the agency prepared to pay up to $1.3 million for the work of four DOGE affiliates over 18 months—as well as granular detail on what exactly that work is (and isn't) supposed to be. This is from me and @leahfeiger.bsky.social

I have lived in US under leadership so 'realpolitik'-minded that it became amoral. (From LBJ-Nixon on Vietnam, to Mitch McConnell.) Under leaders who made disastrous misjudgments. (Crowned by Bush-Cheney Iraq War.) Under leaders whose values I thought wrong. But never before by nuts and clowns.

Gasparino: Let's be clear what happened, who capitulated here and why? You know, I don't want to say this because I am a patriot, I am an American, but it is The White House who capitulated based on everything I hear and all my sources
