Trump 2017: "It is my pleasure and my honor to announce my nomination of Jerome Powell."
Trump today: "He's a terrible Fed chair. I was surprised he was appointed. I was surprised frankly that Biden put him in and extended him."
Every news story will include both clips, right?

Trump forces the U. of Virginia president to resign rather than endanger UVa’s funding.
The New York Times weakly describes it as “Trump’s success in harnessing the investigative powers of the federal government to accomplish his administration’s policy goals.”
I call it “fascist strong-arming.”

It's not a duty of journalists to repeat the claims of proven liars and pretend those claims are credible. That's the job of propagandists and enablers.

I don't want this to get lost: after RFK Jr. finished with his tantrum, he ADMITTED he is blocking BILLIONS in federal child care funding.
That needs to change IMMEDIATELY.

Movie tariffs won't work. 1) Box Office is hurting due to tech/streaming, not foreign competition. 2) Foreign films improve art. Star Wars was inspired by Kurosawa. 3) Successful film industries have historically embraced free trade. Ex: S. Korea

How about once a week and send these apparently extra personnel behind the truck to clean up everything they dump all over the Philly streets when collecting the trash, instead of spewing trash on the block 2 times a week? www.inquirer.com/news/philade...
Residents report mixed experiences so far with the city’s twice-weekly trash pickup program
The pilot program began conducting a second trash pickup day for South Philly and Center City in December.
