Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

MORE GRIFT. The Warner Bros. merger was already suspect, but now Trump's family is getting in on the act.

Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, is now part of Paramount's bid for Warner Bros. Discovery & they cite HIM as the reason why their bid is more likely to get approved. This cannot stand.

So let me get this straight. Donald Trump had no actual plan to build a ballroom when he tore down the East Wing and now no one knows when or how it’s going to be finished? Why does anyone let this man touch anything?

The Trump administration has made me a flagrant moralist in a way that has led me to tossing aside years of snark, and you know, I'm good with that. It's time to talk about what being a good person means; about why it's good to signal virtue, why it's good to press for values, not spectacle.
we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

Wow. Trump’s regime is going after any Americans who do not support Trump as “domestic terrorists”. There is a paid “tip line” to turn your neighbors in with.
A leaked DOJ memo obtained by @kenklippenstein.bsky.social reveals an effort to build a list of supposedly "anti-American" groups and individuals, an escalation of the administration's crackdown on dissent. The list targets "not just the left" but "anyone who isn't a Trump supporter," he says.

Wait until my opponent Ann Wagner hears about the people in Cuba (MO) and Mexico (MO) demanding equal rights under the law! Just another example of Out of Touch Ann desperately trying to hold on to power. Notice she didn’t miss a chance to be an Anti-Semite either.
Here's Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) raging about Missouri's elections being "decided in California" in response to an article about Missourians protesting a gerrymandering petition in California -- except the article is about the town of California in Missouri.

Trump calls Somali immigrants “garbage.” His VP cheers him on. Meanwhile, families are being torn apart, asylum is being shut down, aid is being gutted, and the military is firing on survivors in the water.

Cruelty is becoming national policy—silence is complicity.

A president who calls immigrants “garbage” is dangerous enough. A country that grows desensitized to it is even more frightening.

Trump is giving another $12 billion of taxpayer money to bail out farmers again from his disastrous policies. Just like he had to bail them out in his first term from his disastrous policies. But they will continue to vote Republican, as long as they keep getting their welfare checks.

Good to see the UK, France, and Germany bolster Ukraine, while Trump’s sidles to Russia and undermines Ukraine. Implicitly, the Europeans seem to be reconciling with the reality that pandering to Trump was futile and are likely to start to disengage from the U.S.

Once again, Russia and USA are allies. Although this time we are fighting to put Nazis back in power.

Which is a nuance.

NEW: Rural health is in crisis. Congress created a $50B rescue package and gave states just weeks to compete for a slice of it.
