Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

Cubs are fun again

ill say it: if they dont re-sign tucker I'll just be taking a long break until the ricketts are in prison

Wrong Kennedy got lobotomized

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

Thousands here at Chicago’s Daley Plaza for this protest against Trump’s fascist regime.

"Colton spent 18 days in the hospital, with 14 of them on dialysis. He also received five blood transfusions. "We know (the source) was romaine lettuce, but they won't say who supplied the romaine lettuce," Chris said." www.wthr.com/article/mone...

president of el salvador is literally dripping with anger in this post with how it’s worded he was forced to have any level of accountability to prove a guy accidently sent their wasn’t murdered

The CDC has scrapped a plan to offer schools in Texas help with curbing measles, we're told NIOSH's experts had been in the state, wrapping up work helping fix errors in ventilation/filtration at hospitals treating measles, when they got layoff notices www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-scr...

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

Mayor Adams is wearing his “in god we trust” American flag shirt once again. But this time it’s written in Italian. He says it’s Spanish to honor the victims of a nightclub roof collapse in the Dominican republic last week.

I'd love to know which firm put out the memo yesterday urging Democrats to downplay or dismiss this genuine constitutional crisis. Got a pretty good guess

Gavin Newsom calls Kilmer Abrego Garcia a “distraction” @washingtonpost.com What an absolute disgrace he has become. Beyond repulsive and shameful.

If the next US governing regime merely wants to restore pre-2024 state capacity, it's going to take what will feel like a New Deal-style expansion from the baseline

Cuomo, who is running in a Democratic primary in New York City, is attacking AOC and Bernie Sanders for opposing the Trump administration too strongly, which is certainly...a choice. www.thedailybeast.com/andrew-cuomo...

Some would say "sneaky tactic" others would observe that odometer fraud is a federal felony. A creative prosecutor could probably tack on some conspiracy and mail or wire fraud charges too.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

Stephen Miller says that returning Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US would amount to "kidnapping" a citizen of El Salvador

The secondhand embarrassment of this has me like

“The reporter from MyPillow asked the White House press secretary why the president looks so healthy and robust” is a true sentence that exists in our current reality.

SCOOP: Joe Kent, the Trump-Gabbard pick to head the National Counterterrorism Center, aided the start of a far-right paramilitary organization. (And he's also a major conspiracy theorist: the Big Lie, the J6 riot, COVID, etc.) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res “rule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.

I'm sure there will be many other justifications offered, in rapid succession. But it's wild to be heading into a self-induced recession behind more or less this reasoning.

We are well beyond tariffs being a temporary shock to the market. Treasury yields surging in response to an economic crisis is a real "2008-style cascading failures of economic bedrocks" moment

OK, non-finance people: crash course in bonds. Bond prices and yields moving opposite directions. Yields on US govt bonds [“treasuries”] are surging (ie the prices are falling). Prices are falling because people are selling treasuries at a massive clip.

Elon Musk streaming POE 2 on his private plane while listening to “The Final Countdown” and everyone in the in-game chat is whispering him to kill himself. Now that’s cool.
