You wouldn’t ban the construction of new cars or tools or appliances to help increase people’s “refrigerator wealth” or boost used car values.

Artificial scarcity is not a wealth-building strategy.

A country can’t get rich by making housing scarce
Trump wants to reassure people he won’t make homes more affordable.

Why would NY, NJ sue the Trump admin over Gateway less than 24 hours after a separate federal lawsuit?

NY, NJ and Amtrak are responsible for cost overruns if the project goes over budget and behind schedule - estimated to be $20M p/month if construction stops.

My story:
New York and New Jersey sue Trump Administration over Gateway funding
The Trump Administration is facing its second suit in less than 24 hours over its withholding of in federal funds for Gateway tunnel construction.

Scenes from a personalist regime: the president speaks directly with the security agents expected to generate a justification for his taking control over elections
Holy shit. Not only was Tulsi Gabbard present for the raid on Georgia's election center, she called Trump and put him on speaker phone to the FBI agents conducting the raid! (Gift link)

CBP shot this woman and then defamed her using every means at their disposal. In a just world they would have to turn their whole yearly budget over to her for punitive damages
Martinez is recounting her harrowing experience: after being shot by CBP agents, she drove a mile to the safety of an auto shop where she called 911, got treatment at a hospital for 7 bullet wounds, then was immediately taken into custody by federal agents.

Quick reality check:

My car's got a ~75 kWh battery. If that battery put out 1 kW of power, it could run for three days.

Get a thousand of those and you have a megawatt of power for three days.

Get a million of those and you have a gigawatt of power for three days.

The house is now 218 R to 214 D.

Each Republican member if they had balls would be more powerful than any Senator. But they have to have balls to say no to trump.

But they are ball-less or ball free

When you count manufactured homes, the “housing boom” of the early aughts looks unimpressive in historical terms and the subsequent bust is striking.

The 10 companies to boycott during February:
- Microsoft
- Apple
- Amazon
- Google
- Meta
- OpenAI
- Netflix
- Paramount+
- Uber
- X
Why this ICE boycott wants consumers to resist Amazon and Google
Could consumers give up Netflix and YouTube for a month? That's what a strike protesting Trump’s immigration enforcement is asking people to do.

Homan's message: When we kill you, you have to be especially nice to us. Or else we will keep killing you.
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

If it is fascism now it was fascism then but if you were wrong no need to pause to make a special effort to admit your error -- we don't have that much time now, please act right away, get organized, and then tell your followers what you are doing to stop fascism and what they too can do.

To those of you have been saying (justifiably) that this image is chilling, bear in mind: in this split second of time, this is Alex Pretti trying to stand after already being shot once.

Vance and Trump learned from Renee Good’s murder and have pushed their messaging toward fraud in Minnesota and Tim Walz being the “real reason” for the protests, avoiding saying much about Alex Pretti.

Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem have continued lying straight to our face.

This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota.

He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.

OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

For years, American conservatives have preached about the 2nd Amendment, open carry, and federal authority, yet when a US citizen is shot by federal law enforcement, they rush to conclusions before any investigation has even begun. It has always been about hollow partisanship

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
