The Trump economy: $40tn debt, 6.7% mortgages and $5 diesel ft.trib.al/yjvQxNr

You can’t talk about debt without talking about how we got into a bad predicament, and there’s only one correct answer: tax cuts enacted this century

A bunch of cops cheering at a political rally — in uniform — as the president and AG endorse a candidate and attack their political opponents is not normal. And it is not okay.

‘He tries to position his company — which is paying out hundreds of millions of dollars in damages for harming children — as the AI company that will fight for you, me and everything society cares about (such as earning a living).‘ www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

This might be the greatest example of "Twitter isn't real life."

“This is not healthy behavior, it’s more closer to a bear market rally where all the gains are registered in a few days.” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

We used to be a dead country. We were dead. But now we’re the hottest. 🙄

It's one thing to honor the sacrifice of fallen service members. And it's common rhetoric to declare that they died for a worthy cause. It's the Platonic ideal of malignant narcissism to just stand there shamelessly and put words into their dead mouths.

Last year only 16% of US adults read a book. 57% placed a sports bet. You have no f***ing excuse for not getting rich in America over the next ten years. These people literally cannot think straight. You should be running circles around them.

Like the ads write themselves

people who work and invest in AI frequently ask me why their work polls so badly

If President Trump tries to take control of the midterm elections by executive order, he'll be defying the Constitution in an attempt to trample the authority of Congress and the states and the rights of voters. The time to draw a line is now, says @walterolson.bsky.social. buff.ly/ok13K53

Still timeless.

America right now...

MAHA was always a con. It was always about the ego and ambition of a drug-addled narcissistic fraud.

Remember when they suggested paying for new homes with your 401k? lol, lmao even

(AXIOS) - Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told Axios in an interview Tuesday that, when he searched President Trump's name in the unredacted Epstein files the previous day, it came up "more than a million times." @axios.com www.axios.com/2026/02/10/t...

I’m starting to think the people who are excited about “AI agents” have literally never used a computer in their lives

A new heartland economy based on ICE warehouses and AI data farms.

The Media Malpractice That Sent America Tumbling Into Trumpism newrepublic.com/article/2059...

Fight and help win a world war. Establish a global order that cements your national power for 80 years. Blow it all up. What am I missing?

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account. Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

Elections matter.

The president appears to be in a k hole on stage.

A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department.

You might asking yourself "Why would Axios say something stupid like this?" Well, the answer is that Rahm Emanuel's only group of supporters for a Presidential campaign consists of beltway journalists and editorial board members, so this is right up their alley. bsky.app/profile/axio...

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Interim Venezuelan leader promises Trump family to speed the flow of cocaine into the United States.

Trump's entire worldview is shaped by his career as a thuggish, corrupt, outer borough real estate bidnessman. The "Deep State" shtick is his substituting the diplomatic and legal framework for those meddling zoning board members and building inspectors who blocked his plans.

CBS News Exclusive | Did Nicolas Maduro fund the pro-Palestinian protests of 2023 and 2024? Bill Ackman and Miriam Adelson have their suspicions.

Got to love how much praise NYT gets for one article, 2+ years late, that literally just rehashes things we all knew already but NYT has spent the last 2 years ignoring & denying & obfuscating.

The AI buildout takes your water, electricity and jobs — but you DO get this. 🤡 @nypost.com nypost.com/2025/11/21/b...

ICE vs the clergy

people like this get security details to make themselves feel important

Congrats to everyone who put Republicans in charge "for the economy," the first three quarters of 2025 already had more layoffs than any of the years in which Biden or Obama was President except 2009 (when Dems were still cleaning up the prior Republican mess). www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

“.. for those of us who, in our younger years, revered America as a shining city upon a hill, .. this is quite a painful period. “..’America has lost its moral bearings; as a result, it has also lost its moral standing in the world.” @peter-wehner.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Trump continues to wield funding threats, but they seem to have backfired. His withholding of infrastructure funds in NJ has been a “pure gift” for Dems in the gubernatorial race. From Robert Kuttner: trib.al/C8cxD1X

Has to be understood as a threat

Feels like, between .. 1. “No Kings” rally 2. Benioff apologizing 3. Young Republicans getting suspended 4. Universities rejecting White House “contracts” .. authoritarianism got something of a margin call this week.
