It seems like maybe.... Just maybe.... Trump has no actual idea how tariffs work.

Maria Bartiromo to Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "You've got all these projects which are not necessarily projects that you can rely on. I mean, is the wind blowing? Is the sun shining? And yet hundreds of millions of dollars were going at these projects."

That’s because former Fox host Jeanine Pirro was unable to get the grand jury to indict her, which is conveniently left out here.

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to:
•admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states
•abolish ICE
•grant citizenship to any immigrant
•disband the 5th Circuit
•expand the Supreme Court
Seriously: Why the hell not?

Hey @4for4-john.bsky.social - what are your thoughts about grabbing Keaton Mitchell as a handcuff with standalone value now? I'd have to drop C Tillman, W Robinson, or D Sampson to pick him up.

?? It’s no mystery where the money goes; this has been asked and answered.
70-75% of US spending is on Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, Pentagon and veterans + interest on the debt.
Foreign aid is 1% of the budget.
You can read this in a CBO or OMB report! Easily available.

This. Especially Senate Republicans.
The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

I'll set aside that he thinks chicken farms are going to build high tech security perimeters against geese. If he's talking about bio-sec and anti-virals, maybe not an ideal time to be firing everyone at USDA and CDC.
Kevin Hassett on Trump's avian flu plan: "What we need to do is have better ways w/ bio-security & medication & so on to make sure that the perimeter doesn't have to kill the chickens. To have a better, smarter, perimeter...they're killing chickens to stop the spread, but chickens don't really fly"
