And now our Russian-allied government is getting into a fight with Poland

Absolutely should take this seriously. These lunatics think they’re going to cut all federal income tax by imposing tariffs that will serve as a backdoor to a consumption-based sales tax model.

Losing your job and watching your life savings disappear just means that the toxins are leaving your body

Maybe they thought the site was DEI because it was black

Newt Gingrich says the "McKinley Model" requires high tariffs over a three-year transition period. Notable: Three years after the 1890 McKinley tariff, the economy had fallen into a severe depression. The GDP shrank by 10% and unemployment hit 18%. Certainly not the economic model I'd be copying. 😳

The Bulwark is really building an interesting center/right reality-based news org, something that, had it existed 10+ years ago, might have sapped some of the crazy off the right. Or not! But good component of a healthy media ecosystem. (Which to be clear, we do not have.)

Please for the love of all things holy do not donate your hard earned income to a D+53 district held by a 77-year old man

Goodbye to American booze at LCBO across Ontario

the democrats should all wear juggalo makeup, I don’t think it would help but it would be annoying to give a speech looking at that

Just cruelty for cruelty's sake

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.

How about instead of a Dem response to tonight's speech Dems just use that airtime to replay this over and over. (Not joking.)

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

[slams head against brick wall repeatedly]

Here’s the amazing thing: a recession would be *entirely self-inflicted,* turning a nicely running economy into trash, and all over petty grievances and a complete lack of basic economic understanding

A GOP crashing the economy - A tradition like no other *The Masters theme plays*

Posting this on Bluesky every day at 6 pm.

If anyone has examples of Republicans insisting that Trump wouldn't do things like institute tariffs, abandon Ukraine, or free the January 6th insurrectionists, please send them my way...

BREAKING: Head of FBI's New York office is forced out after questioning President Trump's pursuit of agents who investigated Jan. 6 cases, sources say.

FAST FORWARD THREE YEARS: "Yup. It's still the Biden economy slumping " "Yup. Biden messed up so badly, it still is taking effect." "Yes indeed!"

The markets are crashing, we can't afford eggs anymore, the economy is shrinking, our allies are abandoning us... But we'll always have the Gulf of America.

The stove's not gonna touch itself.

He didn't wear a suit, but he received a pardon and was treated better than Zelenskyy was.

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

Seems not ideal 🤷🏻‍♀️

Deafening silence from Obama, Clinton, Bush, Biden so far…

Trump and Vance are part of the tiny percentage of Americans who sympathize more with Russia (4%) than Ukraine (62%) and who view Putin more favorably (75% unfavorable) than Zelensky (28% unfavorable) today.yougov.com/politics/art...

Marco Rubio is like having Tom Wambsgabs as Secretary of State, a man whose ambition is to be an empty suit, on board to take any stance, say anything, whatever the boss wants, and sponge up some of the pain that comes back, all for the trappings, the title, the plane rides, the suits, to be there.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

No, this is the most ashamed you've felt as an American *so far*.

That was the most shameful performance by any American president in a century. I want to fucking throw up.

What a shameful day.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Nauseated and ashamed.

it’s like watching kids learn santa isn’t real

This will be seen in Europe and the UK as an egregious attack on the rule of law and human dignity, aided and abetted by elements of the current US administration, who evidently see this as fan service.

Duckworth: "Donald Trump has fired more veterans than any other president in our recent history. This has to stop, because these are hard-working people."

No one had died of measles in America for ten years, until yesterday. That 2015 death in WA was preceded by a 12y period of no US deaths. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... HHS Secretary RFK Jr. says it’s “not unusual.” apnews.com/article/meas... It is unusual. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...

By all means don’t listen to the voters

Bezos destroying the post opinion pages is just another reminder: Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

In the last election, one candidate was proposing coercive restrictions on personal liberty and replacing free trade and free markets with heavy tariffs and authoritarian favoritism. The other was Kamala Harris. Bezos personally killed an endorsement of Harris and celebrated at Trump’s inauguration.
