Warner: "I just talked to senior folks on Wall St, and he described today's market as 'a good day in hospice.'"

Cantwell: "You're telling us in your testimony you want a tariff on semiconductors. I'm saying that the last administration and this organization here passed the CHIPS and Science Act so we could reshore semiconductors. You're not going to win the innovation economy by tariffing semiconductors."

Business leaders who supported Trump appear to be suffering from buyer’s remorse.

These are the same people that were willing to let their grandparents die so they could eat at Arby's again without a mask

I’ll have a lot more to say on this, but eliminating USAID while a dozen officers were responding to the earthquake in Myanmar is so on brand for this nightmare of an administration.

Grateful for your years of service, Finn – and that the ACA helped you and your daughter get health care.

A set of standards for autonomy is a threat but not a deadly virus?

El Salvador is stealing our prison jobs and undermining our prison industrial complex. 🙃

20 minutes ago here in Venetie, Alaska, the skies erupted in a beautiful auroral substorm. Here is just one of many real-time videos I recorded during the show to give you a sense of how fast and dynamic the aurora can move.

ALSO, if you have a library card, you can read paywall articles for free with the Libby app.

The Onion summer writing fellowship is seeking applicants! It's six months, good salary and benefits. This year's applicants do NOT have to complete the Eating Challenge, as it turns out this does not adhere to Illinois labor law. We apologize to those who have died in the past.

We have overcome near-death experiences before. We shall overcome this one too. Not by denying we are in a constitutional crisis. We are. But we can and will prevail if we face the truth unflinchingly and never abandon the long twilight struggle against evil. open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

Banning books doesn’t bother me for THIS reason:

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social: “You know things are bad when you’re reading Lawfare again.” @timmiller.bsky.social : “We may need to reinstate Wittes Wednesdays, that’s how bad it is.” Me: lawfaremedia.org/support

Purges are highly unusual. The attempt to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power was highly unusual. The mass pardons of hundreds of violent supporters of the president? Highly unusual. But not for an authoritarian. @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and Ben Parker:

"The Gulf of Empathy," (11 x 15) watercolor, mixed media, pen and ink on paper.

Firing Insps general is not common. The law requires that Congress get 30 days’ notice and detailed reasons. Terms aren’t synchronized to pres. election cycles so they can maintain their independence. Lawsuits were prepared. Protecting Whistleblowers is key! thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Domestic violence has been pardoned. Lead Atty for the “Purple Team” speaks to Lawfare podcast hosts about how social media empowered extremism. (skip to 12 min of 60 min.) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Want research conducted on curing diseases? Trump just shut that down. Want people who assaulted law enforcement told thats ok? Trump just told them that. Want the US to beat China to develop the energy of the future? Trump just stopped that. Want cheaper grocery prices? Trump's done nada.

Remembering when letting out violent criminals likely to reoffend made you a soft-on-crime Soros prosecutor who won't prosecute?

Ich bin ein Berliner. Berliners projected their criticism on Tesla factory. Well done.

Politicians are like strippers giving you the girlfriend experience. In man-land its equating the bro-experience with meritocracy.

Christian charity activities declared “human trafficking” if they don't include mass and simply practice Good Samaritan activities. Watch Texas. baptistnews.com/article/texa...

Donald Trump has declared the U.S. is in a “national-energy emergency.” “The actual emergency, obviously, is with the climate,” @billmckibben.bsky.social writes. nyer.cm/pmI58Hh

Long before the election, long before the tremendous amount of sifting through shite was necessary there were two lazy ablebodies. Jackpot and Jigsaw.

Using a simple app to turn photos into cross-stitch works of art, I got a color analysis of face. I’m a bright spring: mauve lips, clear green eyes and most values in the center of grey scale. Now pick a new hair color!

Experts say the president-elect, in pushing for recess appointments, is asking the Senate to abdicate its constitutional duty to either confirm or reject executive branch nominees.
