from today's post about Bill Maher's latest episode of fucktacular toadyism — thanks for reading it! link to the whole thing is here: bit.ly/4cqOlE8 (longer excerpt in the alt text)

The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has repeatedly claimed: “If you’re healthy, it’s almost impossible to die from an infectious disease in modern times.” That is dangerously false. www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

APOLLO: “.. Consumer Confidence Is Weaker than During the 2008 Financial Crisis .. “.. sentiment is declining rapidly both for households making more than $100,000 and less than $100,000 .. “.. Consumers’ worries about losing their jobs are at levels normally seen during recessions ..”

Oh Cheryl, you fucking fool.

Oh MAGA, bless yer hearts.

From Fox Business analyst, after Howard Lutnick said this morning on the Sunday shows that the tariff exemptions on tech were only temporary.

Welcome to our everyday hell, fund managers.

The problem with trumps deal making strategy is that the bully tactics only work when your adversary is smaller than you. China isn’t small, or weak, and they’re much smarter than trump. They will continue to kick his ass for the foreseeable future.

North Carolina Governor Josh Stein said that FEMA will stop matching 100% of the money for Hurricane Helene recovery in North Carolina. Donald Trump’s administration refused Stein’s request to extend its 100% reimbursement period for another 180 days calling it “unwarranted.” Appalling.

This story hasn’t gotten nearly enough attention. It is openly fraudulent what they’re doing.

ICE is becoming our Gestapo. Mother fuckers.

"Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name." -- John Stuart Mill (1867)

My mom just called me and wanted me to post this for her: "Thank you to everyone in Canada who's spending their time and energy trying to fight Donald Trump and Elon Musk on our behalf." She appreciates you. And so do I. 🇨🇦 💕 🇨🇦

Precise conversation I just had with an economist for tomorrow’s show. 4 years is plenty of time to build new alliances and supply chains. They will never trust us again.

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

would love to see a volume/time graph on these for the past week

One sign of good leadership is the ability to appropriately delegate. Maybe Republicans should delegate budgets and running the economy to Democrats.

The S&P 500 fell 3.5% Thursday.   The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 2.5%.   The Nasdaq composite sank 4.3%.

Children in charge.

"The two-page memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, does not allege any criminal conduct by Khalil" "Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs." Free this man immediately. apnews.com/article/mahm...

“You don't have to beat people over the head with the fact that Donald Trump is incompetent and erratic and largely brings chaos to every situation he's in” YES YOU DO

HUNT: USMCA -- 15 months. South Korea -- 14 months. How can you do any single one of these trade deals in 90 days? NAVARRO: You're missing the whole point HUNT: Am I?

Work requirements, qualification checks, and undocumented immigrants will not get anywhere close to enough $$ to meet the GOP spending cuts. Don’t be fooled by NY Republicans’ effort to spin the coming Medicaid cuts as “waste, fraud and abuse.” They are coming after Medicaid.
