Just when you think Trump’s economic policies can’t get any weirder (or more damaging to our economy)…it turns out that Trump’s economic advisor on tariffs MADE UP HIS ECONOMIC SOURCES by fabricating an expert using an anagram of his own name.

What!?

Guys, guys, guys. It’s not math. It’s not finance. It’s not economics.

It’s all about psychology. Abnormal psychology.

Read the DSM-5’s chapters on Cluster B personality disorders.

And then it all becomes clear.

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them.

But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

The artist, David Cohen is an Asheville-based artist/musician and resident of over forty years. His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❤️ Give credit to artists when you can.

With the snow and ice, I couldn't get my car out of the driveway last night. I tried everything for traction: pieces of cardboard, cat litter, sand. In the end, what worked best was disengaging the emergency brake.

The best lawyer in our country right now is Marc Elias. And we need him now more than ever. He seems to be the only lawyer that really gives a shit about democracy.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

A lot of people will criticize @johnfetterman.com for visiting trump. Don't. Imo, the best way to win voters is to do all you can to represent your constituents first. Your party last. Voters want results. If he can use Trump to get that. Amen.
