Fed chairman says inflation may last longer with tariffs File under "no shit, this country is under the thumb of a fucking imbecile" finance.yahoo.com/news/powell-...

I'm going to play the Covid-nostalgia card and hop on a Zoom with friends and have a drink in memory of the economy. Just seems like the thing to do to honor its passing.

For those who don't get it: Booker broke Thurmond's filibuster record.

Just think of today as a historic landmark.. think of that 1957 & Thurmond statement wasted NOW forever in history books, Cory Booker has changed history today..Thank you @booker.senate.gov #WeAllBleedRed

Well, Kirsten, you shouldn’t have empowered Trump by voting for the CR. Just sayin’.

News Analysis: In a span of only 50 days, President Trump has done more than any of his modern predecessors to hollow out the foundations of an international system that the U.S. painstakingly erected in the 80 years since it emerged victorious from World War II.

He was always a used car salesman at heart.

If Mexico started disputing our border, encroaching in Texas, California, Arizona, and New Mexico to take U.S. land by force, there isn't a single American that would say "just give them the land so we can have peace." And yet, that is what Republicans expect of Ukraine.

Trump and Musk are a living monument to the worst excesses of human nature—an exhausting blend of arrogance, ignorance, greed, selfishness, narcissism, and the kind of misplaced confidence that has already fueled a thousand horrible decisions that will ultimately hurt millions of everyday Americans.

It’s astonishing that the “government” overreach department DOGE wants to nickel and dime federal worker wages, yet are cool with trumps golfing and ego-stroking NASCAR fly-bys

Is it true that the newly confirmed head of our health department admitted to having a worm in his brain?

Leaders of the Social Security Administration had just opened an investigation into a career employee they believed was improperly sharing information with Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team when President Donald Trump elevated the employee this week to acting commissioner.

Trump’s tariffs won’t hit all Americans equally. The burden will fall disproportionately on those who can least afford it. The tariffs on America’s three biggest trading partners — China, Canada and Mexico — will wipe out 2.7% of the income of the bottom 20% of earners.

We all know the answer to this. Those red hats cover up lobotomy scars or at least some hefty brainwashing. Even when Trump hurts them personally, which he will, they will bray and applaud. 🤦‍♀️

Top cop tells the good guys to stand aside while the bad guys rob the Treasury.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

A Trump supporter saying they "should've been better informed" was not on our bingo card

My uber driver today was Afghani. He worked for the US military for 14 years. He has a green card and has lived here for 4 years. He cannot return home. The Taliban killed his brother. His wife & kids are still in Afghanistan but were to be here soon. Their visas were just cancelled. 😡 💔

Two students were shot and the gunman killed himself at Antioch High School in Nashville, Tennessee the day after Donald Trump shut down the Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

Democrats and independents need to stop falling for the ideological distractions of MAGA. We end up debating over gender neutral bathrooms whilst the real shady shit is going down.

Form meets function

11AM: How bad could the new administration be? 4PM: And Elon did that how many times?

This is the only way I will get through the next four years with my mental health intact.

THREAD: (Republishing this thread today apropos of nothing) This is my Glock 23. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It does not define me. I surrendered it to the sheriff after the Pulse shooting, but due to threats from an abusive ex, I re-acquired it for protection. 1/
