Passover celebrates the Jews breaking free from the bondage of tyrants, and the worshipping of false, golden idols some 3,200 years ago—so glad we got all that out of the way and don’t have to deal with that kind of shit today.

"He took his case to Europe. For closed-door meetings with EU’s heavy hitters. Japan was in the room too, listening closely. The pitch was simple: if Trump went too far with tariffs, Canada would start offloading Treasury bonds. A slow, steady bleed...." deanblundell.substack.com/p/carneys-ch...

Consumer sentiment is now lower than it was during the Great Recession and the second lowest reading since 1952. The guy who inherited hundreds of millions from his father and squandered it now inherited an economy that was the envy of the world and squandered it.

And wait until we see, on the other side of the ledger, higher borrowing costs (from decreased demand for Treasury securities) and decreased revenues (from laxer tax enforcement if not also tax cuts).

Dr. Peter Marks, recently pushed out of FDA, told us he believes the measles outbreak is being underreported. He says the case count is likely 3-7x higher, saying we could actually have as many as 3,000 cases. Yesterday, Sec'y Kennedy said we had 600+ cases and the outbreak was under control.

If I were Judge Xinis, I would order the government to produce, in her courtroom, officials who were in a position to answer her questions and to do so under oath. Letting DOJ continue to prevaricate and deflect responsibility in written submissions seems ... insufficient at this point.

trump's fascism requires willing agents. There are federal agents willing to do his despicable work for him, even when it involves scaring kids, taking parents away from children, exiling children who urgently need medical care. Shameful does not begin to describe this.

So absurd: Trump's aides are telling him working class voters love his tariffs. But recent polls actually show majorities of non-college voters say tariffs raise prices, and disapprove of his handling of them. I looked at the data. It's striking. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1937...

Don’t let go of the evidence of insider trading, Dems. Push and push and push. Get real answers or implicate the whole GOP by their refusal to provide them.

Ok sorry but getting on my soapbox to say that this isn’t a u-turn or a 180 or even a pause on tariffs. The MASSIVE tariffs are gone but BIG tariffs are still in place. And more so than before last week. Frame it right.

Republicans are trying to strip court jurisdiction now. It is a national calamity that Biden and Bob Bauer and Democrats actively rejected stripping Supreme Court jurisdiction from 2020 on. A calamity. Biden and his advisors didn’t make change to the courts. We must do so in future.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
