"We may now be at an inflection point, as the Trump administration tacitly threatens to purge not only Powell but other officials who set interest-rate policy. If he’s successful, Trump could seize direct control of the money supply and turn America into Venezuela."

Trump 0-3 on indicting Tish James and just had his ass handed to him by Indiana Republican legislators he threatened and bullied. Also new low in AP poll at 36% approval.

Since Democrats passed the ACA in 2010, millions gained access to quality health care for the first time.

Meanwhile, Republicans haven’t proposed a serious health care plan in decades.

Forgive me if I doubt Republicans are “ready” to make health care more affordable.

If Indiana legislators hold firm on their conscience today, it will among other things be a much-needed rejection of the idea that you can get your way on policy through bullying, intimidation, and threats.

New federal judge Emil Bove is facing an ethics complaint for attending Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, in violation of rules that prohibit judges from engaging in political activity.

“I can’t understand how he could possibly think it appropriate to go there,” said a conservative expert.

Unlike Supreme Court Justices, the rest of the fed’l judiciary is governed by canons of ethics. Among other things, they’re not supposed to attend political events & should avoid even an appearance of impropriety. joycevance.substack.com/p/judicial-e...

Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

I don't see anyone talking about this on Bluesky.

Vulcan Elements backed by Donald Trump Jr. is getting a $620 million loan from the Pentagon.

Our government is essentially a slush fund for Trump and everyone in his orbit.

Trump says it's an A++++ economy. He's right. His billionaire friends have never had it better.

If you're a working class person:
👉60% live paycheck to paycheck
👉Grocery prices at record highs
👉Premiums to double for 20+ million

The economy must work for all, not just the 1%

The only thing that I will say about the speech from the Current Occupant of the White House last night, other than him seeming old and in poor health, is that it just doesn't work anymore.

For my Happy Days friends who know the phrase, he has "jumped the shark."

Despite differing backgrounds, I found a lot of my colleagues from the first Trump administration ended up with roughly the same view of the president:

He’s a terrible person. A wrinkly-suit slop tart, incapable of empathy or rational thought.

His speech last night showed it.

Hell yes, Democratic candidate Eric Gisler just won the HD-121 special election in Georgia and has officially flipped the seat from red to blue in a district that the orange felon won by 12 points, a major surprising upset. Much more of this please. 💙👊
