With its new acronym “TACO”—short for “Trump always chickens out”—Wall Street seems to have finally figured out President Donald Trump. But it may be too late, @dgraham.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily.

ACTIONS MEET CONSEQUENCES…

North Carolina voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024—now he’s denying the state’s FEMA request. Again.

Reminder: Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) and Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) voted against FEMA funding on September 25, 2024.

With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last

This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms

It really takes a lot for me to say this, but the Graham tweet is genuinely a pretty offensive thing to say.
Despite seeing several people I totally trust say this was real I still felt I had to verify it with my own eyes. And having done so I still can't believe it's real.

Canada’s center-left Liberal Party will form the country’s next government after voters cast their ballots in this year’s federal election, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation projected Monday night.

The win, which will keep Prime Minister Mark Carney in power, was a turnaround for the Liberals.

The majority of Americans oppose this economic nightmare, but House Republicans are using every last bit of their power to prevent Congress from doing anything to stop it.

Remember this in November and vote them all out.
This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res “rule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.
