The most (only?) important thing I've written recently: This is Europe's Project 2025 moment (Based entirely on Marcy's reporting, should go without saying)

This is what Bari Weiss and the Trump regime didn't want you to see. This is the evil billionaires and our corporate owned government are inflicting via the prison industrial complex for the sake of our capitalist economy. We will forever resist fascism and stand with our immigrant comrades.

No Economist has ever modeled what the Trump administration is doing because no economist thought any administration would be so dumb. - David Frum

See Laurel that's what the penguins were trying to tell us!

1- I don't think I ever posted anything published by the American Enterprise Institute before. To calculate tariffs, the Trump administration (1) selected a formula that does not make economic sense and (2) assigned the wrong value to one of the variables. www.aei.org/economics/pr...

Felon Trump’s tariffs based on massive error, conservative think tank says: "Now, our view is that the formula the administration relied on has no foundation in either economic theory or trade law," - AEI economists, Kevin Corinth & Stan Veuger. www.aei.org/economics/pr...

On Trump's tariffs, it's errors all the way down. AEI's Kevin Corinth & Stan Veuger show how mistaken use of retail vs. trade elasticities raised "retaliatory" rates 4x: www.aei.org/economics/pr... Trump could fire folks, announce the fix, and limit the damage. Would be less wrong... #TeachEcon

A Penguin delegation responds:

@booker.senate.gov what I did this week: Monday - Listen to Corey Booker. Tuesday - Listen to Corey Booker. Wednesday - Listen to Corey Booker again. Thursday - Listen to Corey Booker again. Friday - Listen to Corey Booker again.

Trump's EV mandate? Did Trump's tariffs just kill Detroit ICE model? If Detroit can't pass on the 25% tariffs, then the administration has essentially put the whole ICE based automobile industry on a death march to EV's. Aside from vertically integrated EV production there is no other way out.

While Elon is out to munch on your social security check. Can we get a refund of all those incentives given to Tessla, SpaceX et al.? www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ-P...

So when Detroit asks us to socialize the risk again, should we not also socialize the profits? Elon any thoughts? Apologies too busy slashing retiree's social security. youtu.be/v0vnP7IT-Bw?...

On 6 June 1944, while Americans were fighting at Omaha Beach, Canadians were fighting at Juno Beach. Our brothers, who fought and died by our side – who helped us defeat Fascism, are not our enemy. They are our true friends. Canadians are our brothers and sisters and I stand with them 100%.

"Washington has become the court of Nero, an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers, and a jester high on ketamine in charge of purging the civil service. This is a tragedy for the free world, but it is first and foremost a tragedy for the United States."

On a per capita basis, the average Canadian consumes roughly 2-3 times more US goods per capita than the average American consumes Canadian goods.

Can someone tell the President of the United States that larger populations consume more than smaller populations? Penn is asking for its degree back!

What came first the Chicken or the Eggs? Litmus test for choosing a Secretary of Agriculture.

So in 2024, the United States had a goods trade deficit with Canada of approximately $63.3 billion. Per Capita that's roughly $190 per person. Canada 39.6M pop that trade deficit results in a surplus of $1,598 per person. Per Capita, Canadians spend significantly more per capita on US products.

This is called fraudulent accounting, and it’s what Trump was found criminally guilty of by a New York court.

Vermont understood the assignment. Take notes, America.

I still remember back in the summer of 1975. I was 14 years old, and my mom explained to me how to read my pay stub. One of the things that stuck me was the social security deduction. I felt pride in the fact that I was helping those from the greatest generation live in dignity in their old age.

Rep. Suozzi: 26% of the federal workforce are veterans—26%. What about their service to this country? We encouraged them to apply for these jobs, and now we’re just taking away their livelihoods? It’s not just chaotic, it’s not just cruel—it’s unconstitutional.
