Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

Legal experts say the Supreme Court’s brutal slap down of Trump’s tariff authority "could not have been a bigger loss" for the president.

Museums and cultural centers across the U.S. are readying their programming for Black History Month. At President Trump’s Kennedy Center, however, the online calendar lists no scheduled events to honor Black history.

Too on brand.

“.. U.S. imports are now down by -21.1% from their peak ... only other times we've seen worse declines were during the pandemic and global financial crisis.” - Schwab

Our entire politics now is about our sundowning, failing, unpopular leader, whose powers are clearly ebbing, maniacally trying to find ways to restore his STRENGTH, POWER, and MANLINESS. Like seizing Greenland; taking VZ’s oil; killing men in boats; terrorizing US cities; bombing other countries.

Since World War II, the U.S. economy has been in a recession for nearly 10 times as many months under Republican presidents versus Democratic presidents. Republican presidents have 1 thing in common: recession.

“The actual neocon project spent years denying that its invasion of Iraq was anything to do with oil, and became so sensitive to that accusation that it minimised the use of oil funds in Iraq’s reconstruction. By contrast, Trump is openly declaring plans for the US to monetise Venezuelan oil.”

President Trump has suffered a devastating plunge in his approval ratings, according to CNN data guru Harry Enten.

Sarah Cooper is back on Trump and she absolutely nailed it 🔥

These declines are MASSIVE. And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING. “Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?” THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it. Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.

WaPo: "One person familiar with the situation ... said that a high-level meeting scheduled for Wednesday could result in new orders to U.S. naval and air forces gathered in the Caribbean. The person said to expect more forceful U.S. naval operations in the next several days."

I hope Trump puts up a lot of posts about this.

A new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll finds 70% of Americans say things have become too unaffordable and have a dim outlook on the economy and President Trump's handling of it. n.pr/4oUB8rT

They're freaking out because they finally understand. #FAFO

Imagine how Fox would have covered this if it happened 18 months ago. Total fucking farce.

The isolationist right was never isolationist. They just wanted to shun alliances and international law while embarking on their own bizarre imperial adventures.

NEW POLL: Trump at an all-time low on the economy. Instead of waking up and doing the right thing for Americans, he’s bellyaching about why we aren’t grateful for the stock market that we’ve watched him manipulate for his rich buddies with his on-and-off tariffs. The disconnect in one graphic.

Two Swiss lawmakers are calling for a bribery investigation into gifts Trump got from a delegation seeking lower tariffs. The group gave Trump an engraved gold bar and a Rolex table clock. Around a week and a half later, Trump lowered the tariffs. Read more: https://bit.ly/3XTmypB

Trump has issued 1500+ pardons and counting…a who’s who of drug kingpins, crypto scammers, violent insurrectionists, terrorism financiers & corrupt politicians. In Trump’s oligarchy, the rich and powerful can pay their way to reside above the law.

The war on woke becomes the war on being awake.

Contrary to popular reports, DOGE has “burrowed into the agencies like ticks,” government sources tell WIRED. www.wired.com/story/what-i...

Drudge Report right now

After Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump and Republican leaders thundered about “left-wing terrorists.” They want Americans to believe the left is waging a campaign of violence. But the evidence—the decade-long tally of extremist murders—shows the opposite.

It was a train wreck. Stupidly planned on short notice.

This is a vitally important point to remember. Big force displays often reveal deep weaknesses—and a profound self-awareness of them.

A sure sign that Trump’s takeover of the Kennedy Center is a roaring success is when we see events being sponsored by such leading corporate benefactors as “Moxie Pest Control”
