Alabama shrimper Maynard Dubuisson: The price of diesel has put people out of business. At $6 a gallon, you can't make it. Because that engine burns anywhere from 25 to 30 gallons an hour. That's a lot of fuel.

RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. You can buy liver or the cheap cuts."

Yes … and Trump has shown that the systems that depend on good chap theory have to be removed root and branch. The clearest way to do it would be to create a Second Republic (if the French can …) but realistically it will need a slate of changes. But they can’t be avoided.

we're going to need a long-term plan, with broad political appeal, for ending impunity & holding the trump administration accountable for its crimes, malfeasance & cruelties. not 'tit-for-tat' but an american version of transitional justice. my take in @slate.com 👇

I just watched a 3-minute IG reel that started with some righteous fury about Jalen Hurts' condition and treatment, then suddenly shifted to "and they CONCEALED that info from EVERYONE WHO BET ON THAT GAME, and I'm pretty sure that's ILLEGAL" and now I want to go back to sleep forever

Trump: "You go up to Minnesota -- number one place in the entire country for the sale of Mercedes-Benz. And Somalians are buying them. They come here with low IQs and no money and they get rich. Do we feel stupid? Our fraud division is getting them all."

🤔 James Carville: “I’d rather Republicans keep the house by 5 than Dems win by 5… Because then they’re hostage to DSA, and Hakeem can’t move.” 😬Bill Kristol: “Good point.” So afraid of DSA folks who want M4ALL, etc. they’d rather Republicans hold power. Unreal. True colors.

The timing of this raid and reports that a White House official was involved raise serious questions that should concern all Americans, regardless of political party.

It was true before but now it's especially true that the rest of the world can't rely on what 30,000 voters in Wisconsin decide to do every four years. We're unreliable and should be treated as unreliable.

I think MAGA hate, resentment, and cowardice has corrupted an entire generation of Republican politicians. The only way the GOP can get back to being a relevant contributor to political society is to wait for that generation to die.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

Unbelievable.

wow -- Fox Business is now treating Trump's completely made up economic boasts as though they are factual. Note the citation here -- "The White House" Reminder that the entire US economy is about $32t. If we really had $21t flowing in, you'd notice it Fox thinks their viewers are really dumb
