The current prez of Harvard issued a letter taking at face value Trump's claim to be fighting antisemitism. Fortunately last week a *former* prez of Harvard joined the chorus calling total BS. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o... No one should give this claim any credence.

Do you know the difference between “$2 trillion” and “$150 billion”? About $2 trillion.

APOLLO: “.. Consumer Confidence Is Weaker than During the 2008 Financial Crisis .. “.. sentiment is declining rapidly both for households making more than $100,000 and less than $100,000 .. “.. Consumers’ worries about losing their jobs are at levels normally seen during recessions ..”

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

100%. It really is time to go there. Again.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

This part

www.piie.com/publications... Modeling of change to GDP assuming 10% tariffs on the world, 60% on China, deporting 1.3 (solid line) to 8.3 (dotted) and loss of Fed Independence. These assumptions may be optimistic, meaning real impact could worse.

Cost of extending the Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion Remember this as we hear about "wasteful government spending."

“The Salvadoran president offered to turn the CECOT into an extension of the U.S. prison system in exchange for a payment of $20,000 per individual per year.” The two presidents are basically slave traders in drag. english.elpais.com/internationa...

The dream is dead

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Keep in mind that Makled is a US citizen.

Every expression fits so perfectly

Make America Great Again!!!

tbh i didn't know one person could destroy the global economy

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent. Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list. This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts. It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

Unearthed video: Trump nominee Ed Martin praises Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, a neo-Nazi white supremacist and convicted January 6 felon: “Extraordinary man”

True story.

Consumer sentiment is now lower than it was during the Great Recession and the second lowest reading since 1952. The guy who inherited hundreds of millions from his father and squandered it now inherited an economy that was the envy of the world and squandered it.

Imagine trying to deport someone for their "expected beliefs"

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

i keep thinking about this

The US Economic Policy Uncertainty Index just hit such a historic high under Trump that it’s literally exploding off the chart.

🔥

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

i know it’s a fraught word but these are degenerate people

And Senators Ron Wyden, Rand Paul, Chuck Schumer and Tim Kaine just released a companion version in the Senate:
