They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

The White House. The actual White House. This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.

My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.

Does anyone have any doubt that Elon Musk and his DOGE technofascists and hackers are putting back doors into government computer systems?

WSJ: “.. The Chamber of Commerce declined to comment about the potential lawsuit. Neil Bradley, the group’s chief policy officer, said that ‘like others, we have a lot of questions about the legality of these tariffs.’” 👀 @wsj.com www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I feel like passing a massive tax cut right now would be a really, really bad idea.

GRIFFIN: “.. it’s going to cost you 20%, 30%, 40% more for your groceries, for your toaster, .. for a new car. .. Even if the dream of jobs coming back to America plays out, that’s a 20-year dream.

Reckless cruelty isn’t strength. Capitulation isn’t courage. Cultish allegiance isn’t patriotism. We used to know the difference.

Rand Paul: "We have to start from talking about the truth. One of the things they say with Canada is, 'Oh, there's a 270% tariffs on dairy products going from the US into Canada.' Well you know what the real tariffs is? Zero. That's a big difference between what the truth is."

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made. That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country. #StopTrumpsTerror

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

COVID didn't "turn out fine." Over 1 million people died in just the US. People are still dying. 100s of thousands of people are still dealing with the effects of Long COVID. And the entire country lost its shit and is still unwell. Tariffs will not "turn out fine." Effects will be experienced.

if I'm understanding correctly, there is an extremely small, but non-zero, chance the U.S. financial system collapses today www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Here’s the real reason why DOGE is gutting the IRS. (Hint: it has nothing to do with “efficiency.”)

This new White House executive order says that the US Attorney General is going to prevent states from implementing democratically passed laws regarding climate change and clean energy. It scarcely needs stating at this point that this is wildly, unambiguously unconstitutional. Dictator shit.

Well the good news is that after this it doesn’t really matter how much higher either America or China raises tariffs because trade between the two of them is going to zero at tariffs this high

Raskin: He destroyed more than $10 trillion in American wealth in a single week. And then he went golfing and bragged to America about winning the tournament at his own golf course. That's like bragging about being endorsed by your own campaign manager. So much winning
