If you all want a shirt, here’s where you can get one!

At closed-door lunch, Musk told Repub senators he'd “create a system where members of Congress can call some central group” to get problematic cuts reversed quickly, per Sen Graham Truly embarrassing that Congress has forfeited constitutional power of the purse www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

If he can do it, you can do it

Just to be clear, this is real. And they're laughing about how they are Nazis who can't be stopped.

Donald Trump is lying to you.

It’s surreal that I have to go to a foreign leader to hear someone describe the full derangement and malignancy of my own president in plain language, because our own “free press” and opposition leaders won’t do it. Bravo Trudeau

NO KINGS NO SLAVES NO NAZIS gets you the three good American wars, in chronological order no less. sounds insane to argue against any of them and yet it is very clear which side you're on

the Dow, which is down nearly 800 points again today after a brutal day yesterday, has lost 2.8 percent of its value over the last 5 days with no relief in sight. tired of winning yet?

Trade data from this morning has driven a huge drop in the Atlanta Fed GDPNow real-time tracker for Q1 GDP. Today's data took it from 2.321% to -1.477%. What's going on? Let's do a little thread explaining.

A grassroots organization is encouraging U.S. residents not to spend any money Friday as an act of “economic resistance.”

I don’t see many articles about how insurance companies can (should) be incentivizing vaccination, but 10 years ago this already seemed like the way to go and it’s even more true now. They know the risks and costs of measles.

Folks trying to save USAID are trying to counterprogram Musk's $40 million Super Bowl ad. They're asking everyone to share this video as widely as you can today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...
