"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

New in PN: Why Trump can't make the Epstein scandal go away
"He's pursuing a contradictory strategy: On one hand, implicitly arguing that his connections to Epstein are no big deal since lots of people are connected to Epstein, and on the other hand, engaging in what looks a lot like a cover-up."

The goalposts have now been moved to “purchasing power.” Except the numbers all show that the current economy is only benefiting the purchasing power of the uber rich. bsky.app/profile/atru...
KERNEN: When Trump keeps saying 'prices are falling,' that's not true. I think you should admit that.
HASSETT: But purchasing power has gone up by about $1,200 this year. It's just astonishing to me that the cost problem is somehow being blamed on us.

AOC has a better shot at 2028 than Newsom does, that prick already threw in his lot with the rightwing podcasters and the transphobes.
Reactionary centrists can whine about "purity tests," but fact is Dem contenders now must have spine & principles. Candidates without that will struggle in 2028.

They really are going with immaculate asymmetry of tariffs, which didn't raise prices when they were imposed but will cut them when they're withdrawn.
KARL: Tariffs have been removed from some food items. How soon do we expect prices on those goods will go down?
HASSETT: The prices for those goods weren't necessarily going up just because of tariffs
KARL: So they might not go down?
