Dipped out of some video game meetings to see some history at City Hall in Los Angeles, at the anti-ICE protests

Hundreds gathered right now, more streaming in. Helicopter overhead.

Entirely peaceful

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

Now this…is not good.
BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me.

FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

Nothing - absolutely nothing - prevented news organizations from running this headline before the election, when it was equally true as now and could have made a difference.

Nope. It’s not.
Elon Musk says "10% of federal expenditures" are due to people having fake Social Security numbers, claiming it is "half a trillion dollars."

Elon Musk is targeting Social Security claiming there is widespread fraud.

Donald Trump is targeting Canada claiming there are secret fentanyl labs.

It's *all* lies.

It's just George W. Bush telling you Iraq has weapons of mass destruction again as a dishonest pretext for doing what he wanted.

It shouldn’t take a French Revolution and guillotines for ruling elites to figure out that a basic safety net is the small price to pay for social stability

Home insurance in areas hit by repetitive disasters is going to be the number one housing affordability issue over the next 4 years. And possibly going into the midterms.

More so than interest rates. Florida in particular is going to have huge problems.
Here in Florida we have a housing crisis of our own - developers are building affordable homes all around, but many are sitting empty because people can't afford the necessary home insurance.

So far, the Republican economic agenda appears to be:
-block overtime pay
-give billionaires tax breaks
-fire 20 million federal employees
-deport 10+ million immigrants
-enact global tariffs
-watch the economy have the biggest crash in history and inflation spiral out of control

Confused why so many GOP House members feel confident their Senate counterparts will vote against Trump Cabinet picks (Gaetz, Hegseth, etc) when most of these senators have never gone against Trump before— even after J6 when GOP Trump sentiment was lowest. What would make them start now?

Q: How will this get resolved?
A: When mainstream Republicans realize their party has been captured by a hostile foreign power, that their financial security is at grave risk, and they take action to deal with that fact. Help them understand that’s what’s happened.
Everybody is waiting for Trump to turn on Musk. The better frame is what happens when Musk turns on Trump; also, the best chance to stop this is to awaken R’s to the fact that they will soon be broke unless Musk is stopped.

A quick note to all the NewSkys: there really isn’t algorithm here. We depend on each other to spread the word. So if you want others to see something, repost it. Liking something adds it to your feed but doesn’t surface it for others.
