The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.

So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

What does “Dow 50,000” actually tell you—anything about the economy, or just that a number got bigger? Dow 50,000 is a milestone, not a measurement. The level of the Dow is basically arbitrary: it’s…

Do the world a favor and reduce your carbon footprint.
What do you know, all you have to do to get a Stancil Reskeet is deepthroat the wealthy's boot and post Republican propaganda.
Every time I ask someone if they even know what they spend annually, most cannot tell me.

America is filled with this contradiction.

To put this in perspective, the federal government spends *a combined* $33 billion each year on Title I (for low income families) and IDEA (for special needs students).
Breaking news: ICE expects to spend $38.3 billion on its plan to acquire warehouses across the U.S. and retrofit them into immigrant detention centers that can hold tens of thousands of people, according to agency documents.

Most people spend about 11% of their income on food - hardly the major part of their expenses. Half of food spending is away from home - restaurants and delivery. The idea that most people's economic existence requires carefully monitoring the price of milk and eggs is literally absurd.
4% of a monthly budget is a bit more than a day's worth of food. You did not think about what you were saying. People notice when they are missing more meals.
Most people do not carefully budget for food, certainly not to degree necessary to detect the different between a 2% and 4% annual price increase

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Again, the answer is “10-25 people in Washington, <all> of whom are Republicans, or it’s not going to happen.”

And yet, these 10-25 people get free passes every day & still can leave their houses & go to work with scarcely a question about when they’re going to start fulfilling their oaths 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️
Again, I know everyone wants to yell at The Democrats & Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jefferies, but there are 10-25 people in Washington who could literally end all of this tomorrow, & none of them are Democrats, & they continue to get 24/7 free passes for being absolute oath-violating cowards. Focus.
Yes, we’re looking at you, Lisa Murkowski & Susan Collins & Thom Tillis, you absolute oath-violating cowards.

This is LITERALLY just taking Mike Johnson’s lie and presenting it as fact.
Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

It's also worth noting that the inflation number everyone is celebrating for January 2026 (2.39% year over year) is not functionally different than the 2.42% in September 2024 that was used to bludgeon the Biden-Harris administration.
