FOX’S BRIT HUME: “No doubt the tariffs are a factor in this, Bret. There’s no getting around that. It’s not a bridge loan. This is a subsidy. A $12 billion government program to bail out farmers hurt by his other program, the tariffs.”

Exactly why the Ellisons are completely unfit to own Warner and CNN — even with all their wealth, what a bunch of acquiescent stooges. They are uninterested in making journalism better or a better business, but happy to make it better for Trump.

RFK Jr has suggested he wants to end access to mifeprostone; it's the MAHA war on women

>100 studies have examined the effectiveness/safety of the abortion pills mifepristone & misoprostol. "All conclude that the pills are a safe method for terminating a pregnancy" (www.nytimes.com/interactive/...)
The best reading of this article: Trump is going to use FDA to restrict medication abortion, but he wants to wait until after the midterms so the Republicans don't experience blowback. But that just makes the midterms more important. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

And yet an actual narcotics boat off of Miami -- to the tune $28 million in cocaine -- didn't get blown out of the water.

Weird, that.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

White House’s tiplines are priming the public to police each other
Since entering office this year, the Trump administration has encouraged people multiple times to send in tips about people who are not aligned with its agenda or ideology on a number of issues. Historians and experts on authoritarianism have a word for this: denunciation – the practice of citizens monitoring each other and reporting perceived wrongdoing to the state. Many Americans have expressed resistance to the idea of becoming a government informant, but it’s another sign of how the country may be slipping into authoritarianism.
