LocustAutoX on the other place. Slowly re-following everyone here instead. I blather about @UW_Football, our political nightmare, and Formula 1, occasionally. I'm still going to block every D**k fan I see. Policy is policy.

We are a pro-Michelle Wolf household. This joke made me nervous, to start, but our gurl didn’t let us down 😂🤣✊🏽

China to Trump

Murphy: When you see the 10-year bond exploding… when you see markets moving like a sine curve—that’s the opposite of stability. A strong dollar is in our national interest. What we’re seeing now is the opposite of that.

Most people are assholes. Don't believe me? Next time you see a group of people, yell out "hey, asshole." They'll all turn and look.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

@booker.senate.gov: "For a guy who spends the weekend on his golf course and brags to the media about him winning a tournament while the struggling-- this is the kind of gross arrogance of a Marie Antoinette saying, "let them eat cake" ... Screw him for telling people to accept pain."

Remember. You. Were. All. Warned. 😎✨

Our government feels like when Scar took over after Mufasa died. Just a bunch of ecological damage and hyenas running around this mf.

No DOGE savings at all. It's all a complete lie. All they've done is fire qualified workers while not actually cutting spending at all.

US hairdressers and aestheticians report clients are opting for less expensive services and canceling appointments—worrying signs that US consumers are retrenching

Has the Supreme Court really become so woke that it's demanding an innocent man be returned from an El Salvador torture prison?

I know BlueSky is a left wing audience but if you are right wing out there and you see this you should ask yourself why the White House: 1.) Admitted that this man was illegally deported without due process. AND 2.) Appealed through 3 levels of courts fighting NOT to bring him back to the U.S.

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...

Nobody is saying this. They have to conjure up imaginary libs to argue with since they can’t win a debate with real ones on this issue.

The Supreme Court's confusing order explained: "If the government were acting in good faith here, this order would probably be fine. But the government has made clear that it is not." open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Genuine question for white Americans. If the Democratic Party has a “messaging” or policy problem, how’s it nearly ALL Black Americans can receive the same messaging and appreciate the stakes/importance of the assignment? Asking seriously. White people, please explain this—and be goddamn specific.

Garcia: The man can't even go and play video games anymore because the people he's playing with are harassing him. And I think that he understands that he's the most unlikable person in this country

Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.

This chart was made in America by skilled artisans. It also provides important context for understanding our current tariff situation.

The only logical explanation here is that Putin told Trump he needed to take Greenland. I cannot fathom any other reason he would have gotten this idea.

Already seeing companies raise prices for everyday things in reaction to tariffs. With the psychotic 145% China tariff it won't be long now before they really start to take off.

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: Australia 0 Canada 0 Denmark 0 Finland 0 France 0 Germany 0 Iceland 0 Ireland 0 Italy 0 Japan 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 0 Portugal 0 Spain 0 Sweden 0 UK 0 United States 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

Why not 1,000%? Why not 10,000%? What a dumb fucking policy.

More than 21 million American citizens do not have documents proving their citizenship readily available. Why would Congress require these documents if so many Americans don’t have them? That's not how a democracy should work. Congress must reject the SAVE Act.

Japan holds the cards. Art of the Japanese Deal.

He did it become someone was selling U.S. bonds and we were imminently going under.

Call me skeptical, but I don't think putting a pause on retaliatory tariffs on Saint Pierre and Miquelon, The Falkland Islands, Fiji, Norfolk Island, and Chad is going to counteract the over 100% retaliatory tariffs on our biggest trading partner, China. Seems the markets are being a bit silly.

This is going to be the playbook for the rest of the world too. They'll dump U.S. bonds & we will crater. Trump is playing a losing hand... The rest of the world can band together to recover & leave us behind & we alone will be destroyed. Their pain would be temporary & ours would be permanent.
