If this is the effect of walking back some of his economic program, just imagine the prosperity he could unleash if he abandoned all of it!

"The answer can only be that it is using this case to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop the Trump administration from imprisoning anyone it wants anywhere else in the world." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

subsidies to counteract the tariffs: free markets in action

A reminder that the Washington Post gave Bondi a green thumbs up to confirm for AG. Democracy Docket called her an election denier. www.democracydocket.com

Analysis | Trump is finally giving us the recession that Biden could never deliver.

From Nov 7:

Lol, these clowns actually say this kind of shit to each other behind closed doors? Real cult

I don't think I've ever seen someone destroy their own career with such elegant simplicity.

Still seeing the benefits of NYC's congestion pricing in transit ridership—MTA was the fastest-growing major transit agency of the first two months of this year, despite already having the strongest ridership recovery. DC's WMATA came in at a close second.

Tariffs will be lifted on penguins who agree to be completely white. by Stephen Miller

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

Trump Economy

this guy gets it

George HW Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Clinton (D) got us out. George W Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Obama (D) got us out. Trump (R) got us mired in a recession. Biden (D) got us out. Trump (R) is yet again ushering us into a recession. Starting to notice a trend?

I feel bad for the people of Vietnam, who since 2017 worked hard to develop legitimate, alternative supply chains for the US, trained their low-income workers how to sew, and shored up their infrastructure and ports. The tariffs are a gut punch. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Not sure what's worse, the reporter asking a softball "do you want to weigh in on that" [Signalgate] or the reporter immediately moving onto another topic when Trump demands, like a little baby, that she doesn't "bring that up again". Our media is failing us. Again. zeteo.com/subscribe

8:10 am: “You better negotiate.” 3:44 pm: “There’s no negotiate.” 🤡

Remember when Republicans pretended they cared that you were paying $1 more for eggs before enabling Trump to destroy the entire economy, gut your 401K, and send the price of literally everything higher?

Trump has liberated the US from its economic dominance — foreign markets have surged ahead of ours since inauguration. My @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Chart

A global recession, which I do not support, will be worth it if it gets all the M$DNC shitlibs thoroughly owned by Donald Trump, who I do not support. by Glenn Greenwald

Breaking: Whirlpool announces they are laying off 651 American workers in Iowa, citing the economic conditions under Trump.

Bezos has done some amazing things with this editorial page.

can someone put this stupid paper out of its misery

“Reciprocal” 🤡 @justinwolfers.bsky.social

Decades of misinformation has left the American populace ignorant of the world and how anything works. Like the cuts across HHS, CDC, FDA. How do we get people to understand we are soft fleshy villagers constantly under attack by invisible monsters, and we just fired all the wizards and witchers?

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

🇺🇸 both sides forever 🇺🇸

Sharp shifts in a short time.

What Democrats need to realize is that whenever we push back against these spineless Republicans, with righteous aggression, they fold and start squirming. We need more Glenn Iveys

Senate Majority Leader Thune said Rs think it's "very clear" that Budget Chair Graham can set the baseline for a budget (and use current policy baseline vs. current law on tax cuts). Could go around parliamentarian on issue Minority Leader Schumer: "That would be going nuclear"

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Quite a letter.

Grimly amusing in a way that if you set aside Trumpism and tried to write a pithy apolitical overview of our trade policy, you'd end up with, "the United States saw the abject failure of Brexit and tried to replicate it on a grander scale."

We all know that if Obama had invited a Black rapper covered in bling to stand next to him as he signed an executive order in the Oval Office, rightwing media would have lost their minds. That’s what white supremacy is all about. One spoken rule for me, another spoken one for you.

Sen. Booker remains on the Senate floor "disrupting business as usual" with his marathon Senate speech WATCH LIVE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5Nf...

This keeps getting worse and worse.

Trump admin lawyers offer opaque claims about efforts to preserve Signalgate messages found on phones of Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe and Rubio. The euphemisms are particularly 🤌🏻 “residual administrative content.”

someone pointed this out earlier, but it's very funny (read:bad) that the switch 2 preorders are slated for April 2nd and they won't announce a price because they're waiting to figure out what the tariffs on Vietnam and Japan are going to look like

Comer, who can barely talk but will never pass up a TV hit, pleads with Pam Bondi to prosecute the Bidens (despite Biden's pardons)

chat we are so cooked

currently, there’s no country in europe where more than half of the population has a positive attitude towards the united states -yougov/bloomberg

@marcelias.bsky.social on Trump's 3rd term threats: "He's saying he's not joking, so everyone in the legacy media: wake the fuck up."

I wrote about how lawyers and law firms need to pick which side of history they want to be on and stick to it. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/31/l...
