It’s almost as if supporting this regime is … bad for business
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Among the reasons I see AI as a bubble is the GOP's ideological hostility to rational electricity policy.

As a matter of physics, economics, and politics, you can't sustain a data center boom while going backwards on solar & wind. The Earth-killing energy sources they love are just too expensive.

Remember Thomas Jacob Sanford, the Iraq veteran who burned up a Mormon Church in September? Remember Nigel Edge, the Iraq veteran sniper who shot up a bar from his boat in Cape Fear, also in September?

Keep track of how differently we speak of them than Rahmanullah Lakanwal.

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

This is insane. And unsustainable.
CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

This man’s skill is off the charts
"Justo" is harvesting lettuce in Madera County CA. He labors 6 days a week, working 8-10 hrs shifts. "It's hard repetitive work. We have to be bent over all the time. We cut the lettuce clean off the extra leaves bag it and put it in a box. I earn minimum wage." #WeFeedYou

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

THIS. They basically just showed up.
The trouble is that people, Americans, have no idea what immigration takes. "Granny did it right." Sure. She came to Ellis Island, they gave her a train ticket. It's effectively impossible to come here legally now. You can't do Ellis Island again but there has to be mutually beneficial ways.

Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean

TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting

Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?

TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person

A little reminder that in Oct 2024, The Economist praised the U.S. economy as "The Envy of the World." Not so much now. So. much. winning. (not)
Will Maga ever acknowledge the economy's downward spiral when they refused to acknowledge it was doing so well before the election? Or will their truth continue to be whatever supports His Magasty?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

And all of these have been terrible for American consumers.
Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Goons.
ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Adding insult to injury: Argentines have universal healthcare.
They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office
After announcing a $20 billion bailout of Argentina, the White House now says it's pausing $18 billion in funding for NYC infrastructure projects
