Yeah, see, this is what we need to determine a nation's economic policies: A sense of how well our leader slept, how he woke, what he feels now, who has made him happy or unhappy or who has talked to him last. Businesses, industries, entire economic sectors should plan accordingly.

Walz on calling for Trump to release MRI results: "Here we got a guy on Thanksgiving where we spent time with our families, ate, played Yahtzee. This guy is apparently in a room ranting.

New in PN: The Trump/Musk fight is why we say "No Kings" "Musk's staggering wealth allowed him to shepherd a chosen candidate into office, install himself atop the government informally, and systematically destroy it from within. That’s not what America is supposed to be."

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org
