🚨HIT THE PHONES TO SAVE MEDICAID - PLEASE AMPLIFY & ACT 🚨 TODAY the House will be marking up deeply unpopular massive Medicaid cuts. MANY GOP on the committee are in tight districts. Calls and pressure ARE effective here. Call today. Type your zip to get a script ⬇️ OcasioCortez.com/savemedicaid

Powell: The level of tariff increases announced so far is significantly larger than anticipated, and the same is likely to be true of the economic effects which will include higher inflation and slower growth.

Get ready for a Trump rage post about Powell. Or worse. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Coming up LIVE at 4ET on Uncovered, Trump Admin held in criminal contempt, tariff wars rage on, El Salvador, Ukraine, Fed Chair pours cold water on Trump, Harvard, Musk’s latest scandals, Vance beclowns himself again, & lots more! www.youtube.com/live/_w3uMf4...

I guess the markets didn’t like to hear the Fed Chair tell the truth about where the economy is heading under Trump.

Vance is basically Catturd with a government title, except Catturd doesn’t spend as much time on X.

Maybe the air traffic controllers are not able to continue the stressful job after 25 years.

BREAKING: Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

After the attack on Shapiro’s residence, I feel like it’s important to remind people how easy it is for people to become irrevocably radicalized online. Right wing media (both “new” and legacy) is using the same tactics we see groups like Al-Qaeda use to recruit.

There’s a video circulating on social media that Trump raised the minimum wage to $25 an hour. 1. That’s a lie 2. Trump can’t do that 3. Trump wouldn’t do that even if could 4. Trump actually just *cut* contractor minimum wage.

Tank the market with tariffs so rich people can buy low then “pause” the tariffs and all those people make vast sums of money?

Yep. I’m hopeful that he’ll learn something from the market rebounding when he paused tariffs, but the fact is that he’ll probably only learn how easy it is to manipulate the market.

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

The Rains of Castemere

Robert Wolf on Fox News: "This big beautiful economy that actually was rolling pretty good with jobs and inflation coming down feels more like the Game of Thrones red wedding. I mean, it's not going well."

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Trump surrenders on autos after less than 2 days after the market tanked and he heard from auto CEOs and Republicans in Congress. He’s a feckless dipshit.

You all know I’m no fan of Bolton, but this move by Trump is just unnecessary cruelty for the sake of cruelty.

For the January 6 people who were convicted of felonies, their conviction made them ineligible to own firearms. Trump just restored that right. He has his shadow army, and now they know the drill

Ok this one took me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣

GOP extremists want House Democrats to raise the debt ceiling so that House Republicans can lower the amount of your Social Security check. Hard pass.

Call me crazy but I don’t think Trump or his Supreme Court care about the rules.

Trump’s takeaway from winning the presidency is that it allows him to charge more for licensing his name to people who sell cheap crap

How many more billionaires will join Trump's cabinet? Should the presidential pardon be reformed? Can America's broken healthcare system be fixed? And what could Biden and Senate Democrats still do before the lame-duck clock runs out? We discuss all this and more on the Saturday Coffee Klatch.

Happy Caturday!

It was my honor to get to work in this piece with my brilliant friends @mimirocah1.bsky.social & @dahlialithwick.bsky.social slate.com/news-and-pol...

The Senate *hates* Matt Gaetz. This is going to be an early check on whether or not they’ll be a realistic check on Trump’s power or if they’ll just roll over and do what he wants. But the fact that a coked up pedo was even nominated for AG is insane.
