It is both "already May?" and "only May?"

Here's the thing, you can literally Google the price of eggs, and you will see that yes the wholesale price of eggs at one point was super high and it has come back down. But the retail price of eggs is more than double what it was a year ago and hasn't come down.

When YOU look at Trump's nominees you think they are completely unqualified for the office, but Trump isn't picking them for their ability to do the job, only if they "look the part" for his reality show: Donald J Trump's The American President.

It's weird how the same guys who are like "of course Hitler was bad, but maybe consider he had a few good ideas..." are often the same guys who are like "did you see that Hillary Clinton said that puppies were cute and dogs are the best? I have to euthanize my dog now and get a cat to own the libs."

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption. I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents. 1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

Yes, it's going to hurt in the short term. But don't worry, it will also hurt in the long term. Unless you are already very rich, then you are probably getting short term gains now and can also count on long term gains in the future.

The US government doesn't subsidize university research. Rather, universities subsidize government research. I've seen recent threads deceiving the first half of this, but nothing recent describing the extent to which universities are doing the subsidizing.

Republicans: You can't trust the government. Also Republicans: Let's do a bunch of things average Americans don't want us to do and don't like while also blocking everything that would help them. Democrats: You can trust the government. Also Democrats: Let's find a bipartisan way to fail slower.

Bribes. They are called bribes. As always, the right will crow endlessly about complicated conspiracy theories with huge gaps, for example schemes whereby Hunter Biden something something Joe Biden something crime! But people on the right will just in the open commit a crime and it's okay.

This feels a lot like that early period of Covid when some people were shouting about how bad it was going to be while guys like Trump and Musk were predicting it would be over by April.

I believe what Bukele said was that he couldn't return a terrorist to the US. So if the DOJ drops charges and officially clears Garcia of any and all charges, then Bukele could return an innocent man. But this administration will never publicly admit they were wrong.

I just want someone to say to him "You don't understand the economy at all. No, don't respond, that wasn't a question, just a statement of fact."

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

We use 15five at work, this is neither an endorsement or criticism of it. But I have coworkers who have asked me why I give myself a High Five every week. Why wouldn't I give myself a High Five? I am fucking awesome, and everyone should know it in the highfives slack channel.

Yesterday we said goodbye. Today has been very hard doing everything without him.

People don’t remember this scene because the movie was a commercial failure but it’s one of my favorite scenes by Jim Carrey, who is normally known for comedy, not seriousness. youtu.be/JyFLso7mBH4?...

An NDA covering illegal activity should itself be illegal and non-binding to the parties covered. Sex pests shouldn't be able to silence their victims.

I'm not saying JD Vance killed the Pope. But I am saying that listening to Vance constantly be so aggressively wrong raises *my* blood pressure, and I can't imagine having to hold a face-to-face conversation with him. Having that experience while also being very ill already...

If Jesus were to return, the Trump administration would send him to a prison in El Salvador.

They want to eliminate our investments in science and tech, and replace them with sweat shops and coal mines.

The president of the United States said that it doesn't matter if you are a citizen, they will "deport" you to a prison in El Salvador if they decide they have a reason to do so, with no due process.

Right now quoting the Declaration of Independence could be construed as being critical of the current administration and get you deported.

"For as long as a single man is forced to cower under the iron fist of oppression, as long as a child cries out in the night, or an actor can be elected president, we must continue the struggle." -Hillary Flammond

Sometimes I want to eat healthy. And sometimes I want Taco Town to be real.

Do they still make everyone rise when the judge enters the Zoom?

look everyone you just have to put up with some short term pain to get ready for the long term pain

And keep in mind, the markets are going up now, but in about 90 days they'll crash again when we bump up next to the next tariff deadline. If this is a designed strategy, the strategy is to enrich wealthy people while forcing retirees to repeatedly lock in losses.

So it's not really economic policy as much as it is open market manipulation.

John Oliver's segment about trans athletes is a must watch for anyone who genuinely has "concerns" (and isn't just using that as cover for bigotry) www.readtpa.com/p/send-this-...

I've always knew and felt that big box store had an impact on small businesses, but I hadn't known about the legislation enforcement changes that allowed them to exist and hadn't really thought about the burden they put on the municipalities that they reside in.

I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

We need to get some new memes going. Maybe like "Only cucks don't go to therapy."

All this talk about Canada becoming the 51st state, but what about adding 50 new provinces to Canada, eh?
