I am continually disturbed by many grander problems relating to him, but I also want to say that I don't want a President to speak like that about people.
Trump on Jerome Powell: "I'd love to fire his ass. He should be fired. The only thing Scott [Bessent] is blowing it on is the Fed. The rates are too high, Scott. And if you don't get it fixed fast, I'm going to fire your ass."

But new kids out of college are usually cheaper than people further on in their career and are more likely to be comfortable incorporating AI into their daily work.
The lie doesn't even make sense.

Kevin Hassett: "I think there could be a little bit of an almost quiet time in the labor market, because firms are finding that AI is making their workers so productive that they don't necessarily have to hire the new kids out of college and so on."

Show me your budget, I'll show you your values.
Donald Trump has spent weeks telling you he'd rather pay for golden toilets and ballrooms than SNAP benefits and health care subsidies.
And he wants to use your money to pay for it.

Jesus Christ, someone please just ask him point blank what he thinks "asylum seekers" means.
Q: There's reporting that the US just sent B-1 bombers near Venezuela to ramp up some military pressure there?
TRUMP: No, it's not accurate. It's false. But we're not happy with Venezuela. Drugs are one reason. But also they've been sending their prisoners into our country.

It's gross to say that not having enough babies is a national security threat. That's a very small step away from quotas. These men are just gross with their obsession with fertility.
RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."

Mike Johnson called us back from July 4 recess on 7/3 so he could gut Americans’ healthcare in the Big Ugly bill. Since then, he has only had the House in session for 19 of the subsequent 104 days. That’s how we ended up here.

They can say we're all terrorists & criminals. They can call cities shitholes, hellholes, & war zones. They can call us all Marxist communists.
But God forbid one lady use the word "deplorables" one time. They cry for weeks. Their projections of toughness are just that, projections.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

"Feckless" is about the only safe f-word I can think of to describe so many people who do not deserve to be this close to power.
