remembering fondly the historically correct behavior of purchasing a thing with money and never hearing from the seller of the thing again in my life

The main thing is that we stay focused on our key goals, like removing Maya Angelou from military libraries

why isn't the fire at the PA Governor's mansion a bigger deal?

I feel like I've heard nothing about the fire in the PA Governor's mansion. NYTimes digital on line front page shows nothing. Seems nuts to me.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

The pro family party continuing to show they’re not really.

Gosh, Wall Street was looking so chipper this morning. FFS

Everyone! Do this: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

JPMORGAN: “.. The rest of the world will be hit by US tariffs (and retaliations). But the US will be hit by tariffs on all countries. This makes this a uniquely American shock.” 🇺🇸

Unplanned and chaotic is how this administration rolls.

I honestly think there’s no coordinated approach, much like there’s no plan

Bingo

❤️❤️❤️💔

I kind of want to go

More of a monster than I expected.

😂😂😂

“.. The new tariff regime is not reciprocal to anything, but instead is retaliatory in proportion to how big a surplus in goods trade a country happens to have with the US. This chart from @exante.bsky.social illustrates it beautifully.”

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

I wonder what cockamamie story he’ll come up with to blame Biden.

It was the stupidest of times. It was the dumbest of times.

when you use your bully pulpit for the wrong reasons. i hope he has to pay and suffer. and realize that actions have consequences. www.nytimes.com/athletic/624...

How the White House calculated those "reciprocal" tariffs. Hats off to journalist James Surowiecki (see him at x.com/JamesSurowie...) www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/b...

It’s almost like you can learn from history.

I don't often lack words for what I'm seeing, but I am absolutely without words: TX-03 Congressman really just quoted Joseph Goebbels and then walked out of the committee like he hit a home run.

I asked Janet Yellen once whether Trump understands economic policy. “No” Thought that might be relevant for whatever he’s saying now about tariffs. (Which, I’ll again remind you, end in FFS)

When you’re not really pro-mother.

"Don't become like him. Be an American that says I look to the future. Yes, things are scary right now. But we can overcome." MORE. OF. THIS. 👏👏👏👏👏 #CoryBooker

California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."

This was the plan all long. Third world status here we come.

@booker.senate.gov is a rockstar. i'd be stumbling and slurring.

This, times For The Love of Pete

This will have a huge impact on state libraries and museums. Yikes!!!—word is, RIP to the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

This is bad. Next fire season, we should expect no help.

I think younger men embrace the windsor know because it's the only knot they know for ties. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/s...
