Murphy: This is also a political tool for Trump. You see what he’s doing with these universities and law firms... I think it’s likely the same thing could happen with the tariffs: each big company or industry will have to come to Trump to get tariff relief in exchange for political loyalty…

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

Despite Rubio’s grandfather’s “insistence that he was fleeing oppression, immigration officials raised suspicions that he might harbor communist sympathies…That charge, had they pursued it, could have led to a conclusion that he was a national security threat.” Oh. The. Irony.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

The biggest cage match ever will be between Musk and Trump. Elon will try to implement AI in a manner that automates much of what Trump is now trying to control. Trump will have no understanding of what is going on and will have to turn to the AI oligarchs to support him in this battle.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

We may never recover the kind of belief that people in power generally tell the truth & know what they’re doing-that we used to have. Nor should we. But if we stand up to the kakistocracy-rule by the worst-that’s emerging as we speak, we may eventually find our way back to a better world. - Krugman
