Trump gutted the farming industry with tariffs. Now, he’s bailing them out with tax payer money. Isn’t that socialism?

I just had a #zatar and sea salt bagel (toasted, cream cheese, lox, tomato, dill, and capers). Possibly the most delicious bagel I have ever eaten.

In my 20s and 30s, I was looking for a hot night at the clubs. Last night I went to a #PBS presentation of Bridget and Julia, from #AmericasTestKitchen, talking about behind-the-scenes at the show. My 50s are better.

They’re putting in place a patronage network. Instead of open, accountable structures, public goods will be allocated to courtiers.
Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.
Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.
It's Fascism 101.

Spoke with a small business owner yesterday who told me all his suppliers are raising prices out of fear and/or greed even if they aren’t directly paying tariffs.
He called it “scareflation”

The Trump-Musk Budget is out.
It tortures to death every program the average American family benefits from while (1) ensuring that no department that helps Elon Musk’s companies is harmed one iota, and (2) dumping endless wads of cash on a missile-defense scheme Trump was already told won’t work.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
