Search is useless now, example 294728742… Trying to research whether I should put in wood chips for a kids playground and 6 of the first 7 results are companies trying to sell stuff. The first two hits are anti-wood chips…but they’re both from a turf maker.

The GOP pitch is "short term pain for long term pain." This is exactly how QAnon worked - things will be very ugly and bloody for a while, but it has to happen to usher in the golden age of wealth and freedom. The GOP is running the QAnon playbook for the entire economy.

FWIW, regardless of what you think on Schumer's strategies, I don't think it would be a terrible idea for Democrats to just throw him overboard. He's old, unpopular and one of the "old guard" leaders of what is currently a very unpopular party. There's no real good argument for keeping him on.

DOGE just sacked half of @usedgov’s workforce, including lawyers defending students with disabilities. If these chainsaw massacres are so popular, why don’t they bring them to Congress first? How many cases do they have to lose?

Republicans snuck a provision into the rule for the CR that would preemptively surrender congressional authority to block tariffs. When House Republicans vote for this rule today, they will also be voting to support Trump's tariffs and all the resulting damage to the US economy

A “period of transition” has the same rhetorical vibes as “special military operation.” Buckle up.

From the man who backed out of a fight with Mark Zuckerberg and an appearance on the Daily Show: "I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat". This is "my dad works for Nintendo" level stuff.

Imagine if Joe Biden had reposted a liberal pundit saying ‘shut up about gas prices’ in 2022. It would have led the news, all of the news, for days, weeks, on end.

“Transitioning” from 50 straight months of job growth, a 400% rise in manufacturing construction and the best back-to-back years for the stock market in a quarter century. 🤡

It strikes me that announcing new policies, walking them back, and then waffling on them repeatedly is just as bad, maybe worse, than just the bad policies themselves, especially in this case where the market reacts with volatility every time a word is spoken.

Hitler-loving white nationalist Nick Fuentes is thrilled that Theo Von, Stephen A. Smith, Jason Whitlock, Patrick Bet-David, and Joe Rogan are giving airtime to the likes of Candace Owens, Andrew Tate, and Ian Carroll who are "spreading the message."
