The real effects will be felt by the last week in March. April will be very hard.

The stock market is not the economy so it won’t fully reflect the challenges of average Americans

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

You guys put podcast hosts in charge of the FBI and fired all the competent agents because you thought they were woke.

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.

So they haven’t caught the guy and you don’t have a ton of leads? Maybe sending all your federal law enforcement agents to help ICE and dismantling the JTTF and firing the head FBI field office for political reasons wasn’t the best idea.

Do not be bullied, cowed, or shamed by bad-faith right-wing actors and MAGA that are blaming "liberals" and everyone who isn't MAGA for Charlie Kirk.

Call them out for their hypocrisy. Go on offense. They are fine with political violence and mass shootings when it's against the rest of us.

Haven’t been on here for a while. WTH is going on? Since I’ve been away, the Republican Party has embraced socialism cwith Trump big government taking ownership in private companies, taking over cities, and expanding government intervention in our personal lives.

Did I miss anything?

Trump’s project to eliminate opposition media outlets and figures comes straight from Orban. The playbook is to:

- Use the law to force media owners to sell their companies to pro-regime oligarchs

- Assert control over (or defund) public media

It’s not censorship, it’s pro-regime oligarchy.

Not only did this scammer take $100K in his scam lying to kids, he also destroyed more than $28K of federally-purchased vaccines - taxpayers paid for - when vaccines first became available. It’s not just RFK and it’s not just “skepticism.” Our government is willing to lose money to promote antivaxx.
He sold vaccine cards and injected kids with saline so they thought they were vaccinated. There are no rules anymore

The missing piece of this viral post is that the Texas officials are lying and deflecting blame. The NWS, hobbled as it is, issued an accurate flood watch for Kerr County the evening before and accurate escalating warnings overnight as the flood was developing.
After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.
