Time to leave Capital One since they merged with Discover and forced new debit cards that don’t work at all merchants. Couldn’t pay for groceries or my water at College Street Music Hall with either Apple Pay or the debit card because the merchant didn’t accept Discover. Genius decision executives.

Trump’s post is completely unhinged, but the ratio is the real story.

His base isn’t buying it. They’re clinging to the Epstein list and his QAnon echo chamber hyped for years. They wanted to take down the Clintons.

He built this monster. Now it’s backfiring on him.

From the Cato Institute; this one is worth reading.

Topline: "nonpublic data from ICE indicate that the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind."

Don't let their lies dominate the narrative.

65 Percent of People Taken by ICE Had No Convictions, 93 Percent No Violent Convictions
ICE’s deportation agenda is not what is being advertised to the American public. ICE is not interested in prioritizing public safety, yet it constantly pretends that anyone who objects to its tactics ...

New employer uses United. I’m very concerned.
The more people who are denied care and left to die, the more profitable it is for health insurance companies.

Your reminder that for-profit healthcare isn't healthcare.
It's an exploitation of sick people and transfer of wealth from the working class to the mega-rich.

The fact that there's zero daylight between "pope they picked" and "only pope they would've picked if JD Vance really did kill the previous pope" is kind of interesting.

He’s deliberately crashing the economy.
To make matters worse, importers are leaving inventory in China ports. Waiting for tariffs to be lowered. If they are lowered enough, there will be a crush to ship them here and transport them when they get here. That will drive transportation costs way up. = More inflation, post tariffs
That means empty shelves, an economic slowdown, and layoffs, actually.

The vile Kristi Noem is in Illinois so Gov Pritzker put out a memo with her itinerary and added THIS (I'm dying!):

“We would urge all pet owners in the region to make sure all of your beloved animals are under watchful protection while the secretary is in the region,” the note said.

With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last

This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms
