DEVASTATED. I just found out that @maddow.msnbc.com is coming to PORTLAND, MAINE, and it's already sold out. (I was catching up on podcasts, PAUSED IT and jumped online immediately to get tickets, but no joy).
Hope it's not the last time she comes here! (hint, hint Rachel) :)

My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month.
It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

Sen. Peter Squelch (Black Faced Shealthbill party) addressing congress today. He is attempting to champion a resolution to sell penguin eggs in return for tariff renegotiation. So far, he’s received cold shoulders and some Senators who’ve even flipped the bird, in a typically polite Ice House.

I explained it to several young teens today: imagine we wanted you to become more self-sufficient in the kitchen, so we decided to charge you $20 every time you got takeout. But also we have no food in the house, we won't let you go to the store, and also you don't know how to cook.
you have to be genuinely stupid as fuck to think american companies are going to respond to tariffs by building factories and moving manufacturing to the US. i don't know how else to say it. you have to be genuinely braindead

15 countries have sent support teams, including China, Russia, India, UAE, Britain, Vietnam...but not US. Trump has promised about $9 in aid, but OWES $2 BILLION in payments for work already done, which means these other countries and groups are extra stressed for resources to help. And yet they do.
