Important point about the GOP budget also wrecking Medicare.

The GOP plan is to have Democrats bail them out later and fix this, and the baseline position of Democrats should be "we will not vote for any budget that does not guarantee restoration of everything illegally cut by Trump."
CBO confirmed that the bill would force Medicare sequestration cuts back in May. Nothing in the Senate bill waived paygo. They would start next year with $45 billion, and there would be $500 billion in Medicare cuts over the next decade. www.cbo.gov/system/files...

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

Here me out, they stay the Spirit but the spirit in question is the ghost of a lion
Michele Kang just announced a rebrand for Europe's most successful women's club: Olympique Lyonnais Féminin is now OL Lyonnes.

That gives Kang "London City Lionesses" in England + "OL Lyonnes" in France. Lots of talk about that animal. And I'd note a Washington Spirit rebrand still looms. 👀

Speaker Mike Johnson on the US credit downgrade: "Moody's is not incorrect, but that emphasizes the very need for the legislation we're talking about -- historic spending cuts."

(Part of Moody's concern is in fact the reconciliation bill, which is projected to add trillions to US debt)

Suozzi: They’re claiming the cuts will pay for themselves. But they won’t. And how do we know that? Because Republicans are putting an increase in the debt ceiling into this bill—allowing the president to borrow $4 trillion.

I'm not a brilliant manager like Jamie Dimon but if everyone's bored and doing other stuff then your meeting should've been an email.
I enjoy the implication by Dimon that this wasn't happening before WFH which uhhhhhhhh was not my experience

Below is the decision that the Trump administration has just petitioned the Supreme Court to halt on an emergency basis, after Ninth Circuit rejected government's appeal.

Issue: DHS attempt to strip Venezuelans of Temporary Protected Status

District court's fact-finding⤵️
Quite the rebuke.

Federal court: "Secretary [Noam]’s actions appear predicated on negative stereotypes casting class-wide aspersions."

Orders postponement of DHS decision to terminate the status of over 600,000 Venezuelan nationals who have legal status to reside and work temporarily in US.

Ask yourself: If the President so easily falls for photoshopped pictures he sees on Truth Social, what other complete falsehoods is he relying on when he makes decisions? How else is he being manipulated?

That wasn’t funny. It was scary.

Ten years of Trump going on TV and just fucking saying whatever, and still nothing like an industry set of best practices to deal with it. Put someone on the set with a laptop to look stuff up, pause the interview, whatever. He'd walk off but so what. Amazing to still be at "agree to disagree."
