Pappas: What I’m hearing from small businesses is that things are getting more expensive. Eighty-eight percent of small businesses import products— So that’s driving up costs. It’s a huge tax—not only on our small businesses, but on the American public.

Who could have thought that making a wildly unqualified, drunken bigot who championed war criminals and thinks the key to 21st century warfare is pushups the Secretary of Defense would go poorly, with mismanagement of the Pentagon?

I'm just a poor country political historian and not some big city media fella, but it does seem like a slightly big deal that the leader of the United States presented comically faked "evidence" in the Oval Office to justify his power to disappear ordinary people into a Central American prison?

Angus: Well, Donald Trump, I’m going to say this once—and I might never say it again—I want to thank you. I want to thank you for bringing Canada together. It took a malignant narcissistic slug like you to make us put aside all our differences

With every persecution of the LGBTQ community, with every unprovoked attack on immigrants, with every planet-wrecking decision, with every regressive civil rights move of these professed Christians, the flight from Christianity continues. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-exodus...

THIS NEEDS MORE ATTENTION! The budget the GOP is hashing up is economic warfare on working families. Slash Medicaid? Gut safety nets? Run up the debt to hand $4.5 trillion to billionaires. Everyday families are left to scramble while the rich pop champagne.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism. 1. It’s not a disease 2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

Today I'm finding out which people believe that if you're part of a population that is a small overall percentage of humans on the planet, it's okay to strip you of rights. I wonder if they have considered how easy it would be to classify them into a small overall percentage, and do it to them.

Let me get this straight... Republican congressmen are allowed to take vanity tours in CECOT prison in El Salvador, but Senator Chris Van Hollen is denied entry to check on the welfare of his wrongly imprisoned constituent?

Honestly I'm glad they picked Harvard to try out this novel "we're mad" legal theory of revoking tax-exempt status, given its infinite resources, deep network of powerful alumni, and law school attended by 142 sitting federal judges. Good luck! 🫡

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

I'm laughing pretty hard at Donald Trump having a meltdown that Fed Chair Jerome Powell won't cut rates because of his disastrous policies and tariffs. Donald trying to fire him. Bro hired Powell in the first place. And Donald can't legally fire him. 🤣

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

I love that Judge Xinis, by ordering the govt to tell her what they’ve done rather than telling them what to do, has reduced them to flailing. “The plaintiffs are demanding we do X, which is overreach!” Ah, but the court hasn’t asked you to do X. The court is just asking: what have you done?
