HE HIKED THE RATES, HE DID IT. WARSH DID IT.

They promise us morsels of decency and fairness and then when they get handed the fucking keys to power, fuck all happens. The ratchet theory is like the theory of gravity

I think whats interesting in this data is people are gonna argue against it by saying prices aren't going down. Its a real rough position for anyone to be in trying to explain that you can't go back to 2019 levels with lower inflation.

Valve software CEO Gabe Newell broke down into tears after his new steam machine opened to 23 sales at the world wide release "Fuuuuuuck dude this machine cost so much money I'm so fucked"

It really is substantially more likely that some guy wanted to shoot some people (or one man in particular) than that the government staged a false flag attack. Running towards conspiracy thinking is naive and you should be embarrassed. Is it possible? Sure. Is it likely? No.

NEW: Republicans who want to opt out of Colorado’s primaries get major boost from federal judge’s ruling coloradosun.com/2026/04/01/c... #copolitics #coleg

Trump will have a plan to reconstruct a lot of his tariffs after this SCOTUS ruling through a combination of other legal authorities (232, 301, 122). But those authorities are more narrow and process-intensive, so he has lost the ability to just rapidly slap tariffs on any country on a day's notice

That time of year again for Iran

NEW US JOBS DATA: Non-farm Payrolls: +130k Unemployment Rate: 4.3% (-0.1%) Prime Age (25-54) Employment-Population Ratio: 80.9% (+0.2%) Average Hourly Earnings: +0.4% Annual Benchmark Revisions: -898k

No because the provisions that, unlike IEEPA, actually authorize the President to impose tariffs are narrow in scope and require that certain steps be taken in advance. He wants a tariff button he can push at any time and that isn’t a real thing under existing law.

I know everything is a nightmare shitshow today but the five year old went to his first tae kwon do class today after a couple of “I’m too shy” false starts and he had a great time and he’s so proud of himself and I am so proud of him too

ok another big “yall chill out” moment: in the house, voting yes on a rule to proceed to a bill is functionally different than voting to pass a bill. members routinely vote to proceed to the bill and then vote no on the bill. please think of this caveat as you watch the house tonight. ty
