A well-cared-for domestic dog probably has the highest average quality of life any animal species has ever experienced in Earth's history. Zero work needed to survive, regular walks, modern medical care and shelter, etc. They're enjoying fully (human) automated post-scarcity.

This is just one of the forthcoming impacts of DOGE/Trump policies that have been set in motion. Needless agency cutbacks, anti-science censorship, the failure to understand economics, and the administration's racist anti-intellectual myopia will hurt us.

Trump should be oriented to think about foreign students attending US universities as a trade. Those who have wanted to stay have made outsized contributions to the store of intellectual property that has defined the US' economic dominance during the tech era. Shortsighted prick throwing it away

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

Trump is our very own Berlusconi! It would be funny except that the consequences of what he has put in motion have yet to be realized. Every one of his policies has a delayed negative consequence that's going to hurt.

The results were accurately tallied. Just because the result you wanted didn't happen doesn't mean there was fraud. It just means we live in a nation of morons.

My favorite thing to do is to teach economics, which is why I love this new segment I'm doing with @anacabrera.bsky.social: "The Professor Is In." Our goal: To teach you the frameworks you need to make sense of the news. Class is in, and today's topic is: Who ultimately pays for tariffs?

Justin Wolfers has pointed out that most precision manufacturing machines are made in Europe. So just by threatening these tariffs, Trump is undermining his stated goal for all the other tariffs. In case you needed more evidence that he has no idea what the fuck he’s doing.

I don't think any of the thoughtful people of Massachusetts want Navarro back. He stands alone as a vacuum of stupidity and his enabling Trump's policies on tariffs has caused economic harm to all of us and helped destroy US standing and credibility in world markets.

Hubris is among the least of their faults. They make shit up, with zero basis in science or truth, without regard for the consequences on the rest of us.

Trump doesn’t care that he just created an economic sinkhole. And there’s no strategy behind the tariff chaos — it’s all about personal grievances and settling scores. My column: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

“No children are dying on my watch,” said Rubio. It's blatantly false. Credible estimates count 190K deaths so far. In Kenya, I am seeing devastating impact, incl this child's starvation & many deaths directly caused by Rubio’s actions. More in my @msnbc.com clip. www.instagram.com/atul.gawande...

Coach Tommy is one of the few elected officials who is dumber than our moron president (Tommy could be suffering from CTE, but there's no excuse for Trump).
