I feel safer already.

Yes.

This is the best team crossover video I've ever seen.

The Memorial Day Message from the President of the United States of America, in memory of those who have given their lives defending America, the Constitution, and the freedoms that we Americans enjoy on this Memorial Day 2025.

This is a Memorial Day message by a real President and not some whiny, slideshow clown 🤡 pretending to be one.

Tax cuts for the few, healthcare cuts for the many www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Okay, I’m starting to think that the Carolina Hurricanes sold their franchises’ soul for their 2006 Cup win to be forever cursed with third round mediocrity 🤷🏽. How can a team who’s looked so dominant for the first two rounds be so meek, listless, sloppy, & disorganized in the Conference final? #NHL

Are we great yet?

They lynched Allen Brooks—and sold postcards of it. 10,000 watched. Kids cheered. No one was charged. They called it justice. We call it genocide. Now they’re banning books so you never find out. 📚 ERASED tells the truth they fear. Read it before they erase that too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is Robin Hood in reverse: it takes from the poor to give to the rich.SNAP (used to be Food Stamps…which Tabby and I used back in 1972) is gone. Medicare is going.

I voted NO on their “big, beautiful” bill because it will strip health care from 14 million Americans—including nearly 130,000 people in my district who rely on Medicaid.

Our grifter-in-chief got his shady benefactors to pump nearly $150 million into his worthless meme coin. Now he’s hosting them for a fancy country club dinner. Meanwhile, moms are getting ready to lose healthcare and kids will have less food in the fridge. What a disgrace.

30 year Treasury above 5%. Also, I successfully used AI to do a Trump/Truss crossover, putting a Trump wig on a lettuce paulkrugman.substack.com/p/a-liz-trus...

I jet-skied down this river (as a tourist) in 2004 & loved it. Doubtful I will be able to again in the future.

So we should admit and accept, up front, that the Colorado never was and never will be a mighty river system, and that it is climate-­challenged and prone to drought. We never should have asked it for so much. We invaded it like cancer, turning water into property. I wish it wasn’t so. (From 2023)

Kash Patel is the Deep State now. 🤣

Big day for the destruction of the US: GOP budget: raise deficit by $2.3 trillion over 10 yrs, raise incomes of the richest 10% and cut incomes of the poorest 10%. Cryptocurrency is stealing $$ from us to protect crypto bros. Medicare/MediCal are being cut. GOP is using nuclear option in the Senate.

Brilliant idea! Next they’ll invent seatbelts and call them “freedom straps.”

Ah yes, the “golden age.”

I probably should do more to let people here know about free posts on Substack. So here's today's: paulkrugman.substack.com/p/attack-of-...

The Dictator said he wasn’t going to cut Medicaid. So why is his Big Ugly Bill cutting Medicaid? I demand an answer.

President Trump and the GOP lied to Americans about their "big beautiful bill." Tax on tips? Still there. Tax on overtime? Still there. Tax on Social Security benefits? Still there. The Trump administration continues to help the wealthiest Americans instead of the working Americans.

Today is unfortunately a good reminder of just how depraved many Trump supporters are. It should be the easiest thing in the world to just wish someone well in light of a devastating health diagnosis. That they can't even meet that very low bar says a lot about their character.
