I honestly don’t care what KJP does, but let’s not pretend she was good at her job. She wasn’t. I never cringed more during press briefings than I did when she took over. Anyway, I look forward to passing over her book in the bargain bin.

They lost 200k manufacturing jobs in Trump I, Biden’s term saw nearly 800knew manufacturing jobs and the only steady they’re holding is a steady decline. Manufacturing will take such a whack under Trump II, the military will meet their annual quotas by February. www.politifact.com/factchecks/2...

Job growth over the first five months of last year: 898,000 jobs Job growth over the first five months of this year: 619,000 jobs In fact, on jobs, 2025 is off to the worst start since the Great Recession (excluding the pandemic). When Trump says the economy is "booming," he's wrong.

MA, NY, NJ & CA asked the FDA yesterday to remove restrictions on the abortion pill given "mifepristone’s well-established 25-year safety record." They asked to fully lift the REMS program, which Rs are concurrently fighting to put back in place. www.mass.gov/doc/rems-mif...

New: A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool to review Veterans Affairs contracts. But there was a slight hitch. It hallucinated the size of those deals. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand contracts were each worth $34M, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

In the debate on the House version of this bill Republicans blocked my amendment to require that cash backing stablecoins must be in insured accounts. They are now trying to put themselves ahead of depositors who do show that prudence. It's all a grift. Thread: www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

In 1936, FDR closed out his re-election campaign by bragging to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that “organized money” hated him “and I welcome their hatred.” He took 60% of the vote in a 523-8 electoral college landslide. FDR knew having the right enemies could be a useful thing.

Americans under 25 have no idea how anomalous and deranged it is for the news to report obsessively on the persona and psychology of the executive with respect to matters of policy and governance. This is not even remotely normal.

Lord, I know I am not perfect. I know I stray from Your will. I know I fail every day to earn Your grace. But if You let Donald Trump sue Elon Musk for defamation I will clean up my act and do everything I can to glorify you. No monkey’s paw stuff please; I want to be able to cover it too.

Good Christ. Trump seemed to think the chancellor of Germany considered the end of WWII a sad day somehow. Merz had to explain, no, America liberated us from the Nazis, dipshit. That was a good thing, you absolute fucking moron. I paraphrase only slightly.
