Seemingly forgotten on social media is that not long after the controversial but excellent Bad Bunny concert last night, a team that started the season with 60 to 1 odds won a redemptive Superbowl against a team they lost to in their last appearance. One section of the country is pretty happy today

Here is Seattle, the decrease in rent is tied to the loss of tech jobs - which is counter to their narrative
MORENO: This deportation effort, especially the self-deportation, is going to lead to lower housing prices and we've already seen it, correct?
BESSENT: We have. We're seeing a decrease in rents nationwide.

And again, I am pretty sure undocumented immigrants are 0% of the reason for the high cost of housing in Seattle.

And the peoplecsaying "at least gas prices are down" do not live in the PNW
Trump: "We have the groceries going down. We have the energy going down. We have gasoline going down at a record clip. That's what I want to do. We're doing well."

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.
If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

And CVS buys Rite Aid who bought Bartells - closing pharmacies across Seattle
AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Agreed?
CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer
AOC: It works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets one, drug manufacturer gets one, & the patient gets screwed

Correction - Tony Schwartz wrote Art of the Deal
Kevin Hassett on Greenland: "The president is the person who wrote 'The Art of the Deal' because he's so good at dealmaking, so I think right now it's a good time for cooler heads to prevail and for us to disregard the rhetoric and get to the table."

New idea - maybe the Pacific Northwest could offer ourselves as a trade for Greenland? That said, i wouldn't do that to the people of Greenland.
Trump: "Starting Feb 1, all above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, & Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff. On June 1, it will be increased to 25%. It will be due until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland."

Isn't avoiding that why Trump used to support abortion?
Dr Oz: "One of the areas we use most favored nation drug prices is fertility drugs. That's why we're going to have so many Trump babies."

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

What the actual fuck
Noem: "Every single thing I've said has been factual about what's been going on in Mpls, in Minnesota...we've surged HSI there to focus on sex trafficking & child trafficking. It's so prevalent in MN. It's horrific...we're gonna keep hundreds of HSI officers there to continue to protect those kids."

I will say it again, this is not like a punch card at the coffee shop. You don't get a Nobel Peace Prize after 10 stamps - and even if it was, you don't get to forge the stamps
Trump: "You should get the Nobel Prize for every war you stop. These were major wars. These were wars that nobody thought could be stopped. President Putin called me and he said about two of the wars he's been trying to stop them for 10 years, he wasn't able to do it."

My great-grandfather, Robert Samuel Robinson, arrived at Ellis Island from Co. Donegal, Ireland, for the second and final time in 1910. He first arrived in 1906, but returned to care for his mother. He moved to Bozeman, MT, and eventually opened a grocery store. Immigrants make America better.

Immigration is 0% of the reason that I cannot afford to buy a house in Seattle.
Turner: "When you look at Biden administration & the weak immigration policies, tens of millions of illegal immigrants came across unchecked & that caused housing supply to go down & costs to go up. With secure borders & our fiscal house getting in order, this is a step toward housing affordability"

*cough cough* the Phillipines, Hawaii, the American West
Greenland Envoy Gov. Jeff Landry: "Look, the United States has always been a welcoming party. We don't go in there trying to conquer anybody and trying to take over anybody's country. We say, 'Listen. We represent liberty. We represented economic strength. We represent protection.'"

I feel like every other month we all collectively sigh deeply and mutter, "'is he really still trying to take over Greeland."
Trump: "We need Greenland for national protection. They have a very small population. They say Denmark, but Denmark has spent no money. They have no military protection. They say Denmark was there 300 years ago or something with a boat. Well, we were there with boats too I'm sure."

Because the average Trump voter chose to vote for him because of the bond narket
Scott Bessent rallies Trump supporters in Pennsylvania: "The bond market had its best year since 202,0 and if I have anything to say about it as your nation's top bond salesman, bonds will have another strong year in 2026 as we fight to bring treasury borrowing costs down."

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.
