Six months ago:

The Kremlin continues dangling billions and trillions of dollars of potential business to Kushner and Witkoff to get them to steamroll Ukraine. But that money is a mirage. My latest. puck.news/kushner-witk....

Pete Kegstand practically wet himself with joy over the prospect of livestreaming a public execution by firing squad. what the fuck is wrong with this broken-inside ghoul? Thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I attempt to figure it out. link is here: bit.ly/4AZ9Zvb

🚨BREAKING: Federal court BLOCKS Dept. of Justice policy of collecting unredacted voter rolls, checking them against federal citizenship databases, and urging states to remove voters flagged as ineligible. www.democracydocket.com/cases/doj-na...

HUGE crowd last night in Kansas for Democrat Adam Hamilton who is running for US Senate. This is not good for Republicans but great for democracy.

When they indict Cassidy Hutchinson it will be a great opportunity for her and her legal team to find a way to put in the public record all the powerful 50-, 60-, and 70-year-old Republican members of Congress who secretly propositioned her sexually when she was college-age (20) Way to go Trump

Mike Rogers went full MAGA against Abdul El-Sayed. He may have scored points with MAGA, but he sounded like an Islamophobic bigot, repeatedly invoking Hamas, Hezbollah, and Al-Qaeda to turn his opponent’s Muslim identity into a national security threat.

Senator who was in office when the bank account was invented shares thoughts on digital records.

I write, arrange and produce songs to stay sane. I watch football to stay sane. I'm working on making an Atari 2600 homebrew to stay sane. America *is* collapsing—but if you focus on it all day you'll go mad. So no, I won't stay in my lane. I never have.

In 1937, Stalin's census found the famine killed millions.⁣ ⁣ His government suppressed the report and shot the statisticians who made it.⁣ ⁣ Three weeks ago, that kind of suppression was illegal in America. Now it isn't. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/the-sentence-that-used-to-protect

I was minutes away from writing something celebrating a Republican House cooperating with a Republican Senate and a Republican President to get a useful piece of bipartisan legislation passed, and then...

With Trump, the story always changes.

We have *never* before seen consumer sentiment this low.

I think it's nice that Republicans are finally waking up to Dear Leader's thievery and corruption, but where were they five years ago, when they could have made a real difference? thank you for your attention to today's post in which I rip everyone several new ones. link is here: bit.ly/4dYznYn

Two things can be true at once: private credit isn't identical to 2008-era shadow banking, and some of the same vulnerabilities may be creeping back. Similar enough to inspect closely.

My o my. This one didn't age well.

This isn’t just about who gets a tax cut. It’s about who bears the long-run burden. Higher prices for basics plus temporary relief is a rotten deal for working households.

We went from "armed gunman mere seconds away from shooting the president is killed by Secret Service" to "guy with a shotgun falls down on a different floor well outside the entrance of the ballroom and we can't find the bullets because that just happens sometimes" awfully fast.

The person who made this is engaging in blasphemy, sure, but I find no evidence that Trump posted it on his site.

Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, the United States had spent that money helping the people of the United States

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites

Every day, Donald Trump breaks most of the Ten Commandments before lunch.

Rep. Smith is not usually prone to this kind of talk, which tells you about the intensity behind this.

Robert Mueller was a patriot who served this country for his entire life. He fought and bled for the United States while many of the cucks who are attacking him did everything they could to avoid service. Nothing any of these subhuman shitstains say will diminish his legacy.

Why the fuck is the Pentagon asking for $200 billion for a war they said we already won?

Apparently, Lindsey Graham's drunken Fox News bullshit isn't working in the more clear-eyed Middle East.

and they have led right into a dangerous war.

They spent years showing off their Dubai lifestyle. The moment it got dangerous, they abandoned the one thing that loved them unconditionally.

Trump: "You have to keep the Straits flowing. With all of that, it affects other countries much more than it does the United States. It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil. We have Venezuela now as our new partner."

There's a reason the Texas GOP is trying to push her as the Democratic nominee. When that happens, ask yourself what they're thinking and why. wapo.st/46xfLGV

The DOD asked a private AI developer to provide software capable of domestic population-scale surveillance systems and autonomous weapons. The company said no. For now. Read my latest piece for free: www.mesoscalenews.com/p/dod-sought...

OMG...It's not a hard question.

Hillary Clinton never even met Jeffrey Epstein, but was forced to testify about him. #CoverUp

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.

The President says he has cut the trade deficit by 78%. But this chart (which tells the truth) tells a very different story. We had this big lousy trade war, and we've got nothing to show for it.

JUST DROPPED: Supreme Court decision on (most of Trump's tariffs). They're unconstitutional. They've always been unconstitutional. Turn 'em off. This wasn't a trade war; it was a pointless and illegal diversion.

Quick reax to SCOTUS ruling Trump's tariffs illegal.

Raskin: "I want the whole country to look at this. This is the attorney general of the US whose job is law enforcement. We've never had a witness who has misunderstood our rules and been unable to conform his or her conduct to our rules before. Excuse me."

If you've got three minutes, I've got everything you need to know about the jobs report. What happened, what it means, how it'll shape your life, and what to look for going forward. Plus some wonky bits.

An open letter Jeff Bezos and Washington Post leadership:

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests
