Let's have Liberty and Free Market capitalism. Da Bears.
Compare and contrast: in Madison, WI I just saw a police car stop next to a large group of trick or treaters. I warily watched the cop exit the car, then hand out candy to about 20 happy kids. Nice!

that thing when you exploit private information to make stuff happen in the stock market so that you and your cronies can make a killing there's a name for that as I recall

Exactly. It's the corruption.
I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price.

Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

Exactly right. Fraud proven in court, the American way
DOGE has been a fundamentally unserious project from the start.

You want to root out waste, fraud and abuse? Keep the IGs and bring in forensic accountants.

Firing IGs and bringing in some coders? What?

‘America First’ Is a Lie
America has *always* been about putting America first. Trump’s “America First” movement is about something else entirely.

I’m confused by all the headline references to a “shouting match.” I saw one side shouting and the other side getting shouted over when he tried to talk.

WSJ this morning. lol at the last bit.

"Leaders on both sides need to stop describing the stakes of the election in apocalyptic terms. Democracy won't end if one or the other candidate is elected. Fascism is not aborning if Mr. Trump wins, unless you have little faith in American institutions."

Tulsi Gabbard is a national security threat, and the Senate votes on her today. A vote to confirm her as Intelligence Director is a betrayal to our nation, and will put us all in danger. Call your Senator now and tell them Tulsi is too great a risk: 202-224-3121 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bInd...

No. No they will not.
The order requires OMB to tell all grant/aid recipients that the freeze has been blocked. OMB must roll back any steps they had already taken to carry it out. Will Trump's executive branch follow the court's order?

The restraining order, along with a similar directive by another judge from Friday, amounted to a rebuke of the move as an overreach that likely lacked legitimate authority.
