Where does the tariff money go? Will it be used to reduce the assumed trade deficit? Or does it go elsewhere?

Today, approx. 135 of the 185 total NEH staffers woke up to the news that their positions were being RIFed. Then, almost all current grantees received emails cancelling their grants. I posted this on Fb, mostly for non-academics, but here's a bit about the impact of the 3 grants the NEH gave me: 1/

Glorious, uplifting afternoon watching this again. It is, indeed, the best rock movie ever made

The US lost a nuke there in 1968 which still hasn't been found. Maybe they can find it. On the other hand, the US taking Greenland can set a precedent for China to take Taiwan. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Th...

Throughout the life of a woman under Republican law, she will have the most power as an individual while still in the womb.

Code Blue for Tulsi Gabbard! Her treasonous cooperation with Assad and Moscow is VERY likely to come to light soon. That dictator loving succubus should never be allowed anywhere where near US Intelligence.

My counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social’s response to #KashPatel & his threat to sue me for being critical of him on media & stating he is unfit to serve as FBI Director. Monty Python enters the chat.

David Frum discussing what happened on Morning Joe: "It is a very ominous thing if our leading forums for discussion of public affairs are already feeling the chill of intimidation and responding with efforts to appease." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

@timmiller.bsky.social published Kash Patel's "Executive Branch Deep State" list, originally an appendix to his "Government Gangsters" book, and posted it on xitter. 50+ current and former officials who Patel intends to target. I'm on it, for my 3 months of government service.

Reading the pardon coverage...I don't think the significance of the Gaetz/Patel/Bondi nominations has sunk in. People still aren't getting what a politicized DOJ and FBI, with the power to arrest/bug/harass anyone for any reason, would be able to do.

New Rule: You shall not complain about Hunter Biden's pardon on my feed unless you also admit the Supreme Court pardoned Trump for a coup.

My piece on Patel is up. (Gifted here. Thanks, Bluesky folks.) www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

#Microplastics: billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tyre fragments every year. These tiny flakes of plastic eventually accumulate in the soil, in rivers and lakes, and even in our food.

Washington Post wouldn't endorse Harris. SCOTUSblog publisher wants Trump criminal cases dropped. Morning Joe travels to Trump to kiss the ring. While other media retreat, Democracy Docket remains fiercely independent and pro-democracy. Support its work. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Put plainly: They choose anticipatory obedience.

For those of you who watched Morning Joe this morning: Joe and Mika chose money and access. Mika (for all her “feminism”) chose her money. Joe (for all his “patriotism”) chose his money. #MSNBC #MorningJoe
