Debt-financed tax cuts for the rich are by far the largest driver of our structural deficit. Trump and the GOP Congress are gearing up to do it again.

worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades

Thank God we won that. Could not have slept tonight if those two absolutely blown calls had cost us a playoff spot. #Warriors

When a government claims to save money by betraying its citizens, cutting health and welfare research, and deepening inequality, it is not saving — it is building a system where only the wealthy access care. This undermines the very purpose of a nation.

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

Landed in Juneau, but the plane is sitting on the tarmac. The power is out at the airport, so they are figuring out how to get us off the aircraft.

@iamtashafierce.bsky.social and I went to Hadestown at the PAC this weekend. The most remarkable student production I have ever seen. A testament to the incredible talent and hard work and of the students, the adult mentors, and particularly the West High theatre teacher, Mr. Lyke.

Things I like: Nudge (2008) by Cass Sunstein. Things I don't like: this tariff "policy," or people that carry water for it.

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.

I know it goes without saying, but if Obama, Biden, or any Democrat had done this tariff "policy," these guys would be apoplotic and writing nothing but scathing columns citing economists from the University of Chicago. Hypocrites and liars.

The CDC's cruise ship inspectors have been laid off, as well as agency's head epidemiologist for investigating cruise ship outbreaks That baffled health officials since this program is paid for by cruise ship fees, not taxpayer dollars www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-cru...

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

Whether it’s Republicans causing chaos with random arrests and deportations, Republicans causing chaos with mass layoffs, or Republicans causing chaos with whiplash tariffs, voters are exhausted by chaos from both parties.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

Everyone with any first-hand knowledge of when Trump will announce either tariffs or tariffs pauses needs to be investigated for insider trading.

What is happening right now — and adding the bond market crash to the list of issues — is solely a creation of the President of the United States and everyone who enabled him in this foolish endeavor.

Absolute masterclass against the Suns again. He is the clear DPOY. Would be a travesty if he finished his career with only one. Sure, he's not the most likeable player and has done bad stuff off the court (Jordan Poole being the worst). But he's a defensive genius.

You don't even have Draymond in your top three for DPOY? Alright, I'm closing your article and avoiding your work for as long as I remember this fact (admittedly, I will forget and read your stuff again at some point in the future).

This is unironically why our founders fought to make sure tax policy was set by a Congress and not just one man.
