This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

A-Love this. B-“speak softly, and carry a big stick” Teddy Roosevelt C-trump’s foreign “policy” (his whims of the moment, mixed with his naked self-interest) is the antithesis of this.

As long as Elon Musk is running his mouth about Social Security—which he appears to be trying to understand in real-time—I’ll note that DOGE has yet to find a single instance of fraud across the entire government, as I reported for @atrupar.com this week. www.publicnotice.co/p/despite-th...

my head twists in circles as my body convulses, my eyes glow bright white as my mouth struggles to scream, suddenly I jolt to attention—levitating above the ground, speaking in an inhuman voice “we need to convince Trump to put a 25% tariff on crypto. It is the only way”

<48 hours remain until the massive tariffs against Canada & Mexico go into effect, and the boy-who-cried-wolfism is so bad that business news isn’t even taking this seriously. I must once again ask what this is achieving beyond scaring normie consumers and torching our reputation

Pandemic-era Keynesian stimulus saved Silicon Valley (along with the rest of us) and many of them came out of the experience determined never to let it happen again

Elon Musk just called Social Security a Ponzi scheme, so it’s worth reiterating: All functional retirement schemes, public or private, pre funded or pay as you go, are claims on future production - there's just no way, at scale, of storing current production for use during retirement

I do feel bad for the lady who thought Trump would make IVF free and then got fired from her public sector job, but since political correctness is now dead, I'm also allowed to say I think she's dumb as bricks.

I have to somewhat defend Rose because Nixon did. There’s One Rule You Cannot Break. Rose broke it, lied about it for decades, then given a second look that NOBODY ELSE would get, refused to learn from his crimes or change his life. Fuck Nixon, who knew better; fuck Rose, & certainly fuck Manfred.

My heart goes out to Zelensky, he looks exhausted. I can't imagine what his wife and loved ones feel watching him fighting for them, right now.😢 The sacrifices he's making for Ukraine are incredible. The man is a hero. 🇺🇦🙏🏻✊🏻⭐

An absolutely disgraceful moment from Trump and Vance. Angrily attacking Zelenskyy, a US ally and wartime leader defending his country, as if he’s the aggressor while publicly siding with Russia, who was unilaterally responsible for this deadly invasion.

Putin better give Trump an extra special toy and a belly rub after what he did today.

There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

This Oval Office meeting is a total disgrace. The attacks on Ukraine, on Zelenskyy, on Biden - a shameful response from an American President. I’m disgusted.

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.

Has the fake hillbilly Vance ever personally thanked France? Without their help in the revolution, we might still have a british King. Did they make us sell minerals to “repay” them for their financial help? What about france’s help in the gulf war?

He has a vote in the House where the GOP has a razor thin majority. In other words, he has a VAST amount of potential leverage. If 2-3 other swing district GOPers are getting as much hell as he is, they could absolutely put an end to this by telling Trump to reverse course or else. Not.Hard.

This weasel actually insists it’s a “longstanding norm” that only the president or his attorney general can say “what the law is” which is, of course, absolute garbage.

A quote today from the great Julia Davis. If Europe hasn’t figured out that Trump is bringing our 80-year collective security friendship, which has served us all well, to an abrupt and catastrophic end, you know it today. You are on your own. Act accordingly.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
