George HW Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Clinton (D) got us out. George W Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Obama (D) got us out. Trump (R) got us mired in a recession. Biden (D) got us out. Trump (R) is yet again ushering us into a recession. Starting to notice a trend?

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

No, Elon. 40% of people who call Social Security's 1-800 number are not fraudsters, Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme & nobody who is 150 years old is getting a Social Security check. Stop the lies. Stop the disinformation. Get your billionaire hands off Social Security.

Without a doubt, one of the wildest stories ever. A little over a week ago, the national-security adviser inadvertently added @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social to a group chat with the VP and others to plan an attack on the Houthis. You have to read this now: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is illegal. The power of the purse lies with the US Congress under our Constitution. It strictly and absolutely cannot be used by any Conservative or Liberal president to coerce personal loyalty. We demand that the other co-equal branches of government defend our Constitution.

Authoritarianism progressively worsens, but there are hinge points, moments where the necessary reach of cruelty can be met with focused resistance. We’re in one of those moments. We can band together, take collective action, and change the paradigm. The consequences of not doing it are immense.

kottke.org/25/03/jd-van... If you can, recommend reading Lucy Welch’s snow report. Sad to think that we need to call her “brave” but we do, which is reflective of our sorry state right now.

The Trump Administration has done more damage to the United States, our institutions, our interests, our standing in the world, the world order we have fought and sacrificed for a century to establish in the past four weeks than all the enemies of the US managed to inflict during the past 250 years.
