I've been thinking about what comes next in the event Trump doesn't complete his term (death, 25A). Succession goes to the VP. Vance doesn't have the pull Trump does. There will be a power vacuum in the GOP. Who will fill it?

Honoring Ashli Babbitt Dishonors the Military
If there’s no difference between upholding the Constitution and attacking it, then there’s no honor in service.

Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because it’s beeping. It’s quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.

Remember when getting caught doing something immoral or illegal would end a politician’s career?

Any FBI agent asked to spend any time at all on the Texas quorum break had better be able to articulate the specific statute enumerating the specific federal crime they’re investigating.
And any reporter giving any credibility to alleged FBI efforts had better be asking the same.

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social State GOP legislators work to gerrymander districts to elect more Republicans. Democratic governors look into ways to do the same in their states. Why are Democrats so divisive? They need to be more bipartisan.

TACO is imploding the value of the dollar on purpose so he can make a fortune for himself in crypto.
This is what happens when you elect a self-serving narcissist.
This WILL end very badly for the U.S. economy.

NEW: The CBO says the tax and spending bill’s “net effect on the deficit, relative to CBO’s January 2025 baseline (current law), over the 2025-2034 window is $3.394 trillion,” and it “estimates the law will increase by 10 million the number of people without health insurance in 2034.”

We need to be really really clear about what’s happening here. It’s completely pretextual and my guess is even GOP senators won’t stand for it, not to mention the markets.
White House probe fuels speculation Trump could oust Powell
The investigation into cost overruns on a renovation of Fed headquarters is drawing concern that it's a pretext to eventually fire the central bank chief.

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true.
Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that.
It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

Hi, I think a lot of us received e-mails from SSA saying that social security will no longer be taxed - and that somehow there is "enhanced deductions" (how much enhancement can you make to 0?) for those over 65. What part, if any, of this is true? Thank you!

If the other side rally wants to go for impeachment, then this is what they should go on. Instead, it's getting buried in the news cycles.

1. President Trump is using various crypto schemes to shamelessly exploit the presidency for personal profit.
So why did 16 Senate Democrats provide crucial votes to advance legislation to make these schemes MORE PROFITABLE FOR TRUMP?
Follow the money.

This bespoke exception for the Fed is one of the most brazenly made-up things I've ever seen the Supreme Court do (which is saying something). There is no principled basis to distinguish the Fed from other independent agencies. The conservative justices just don't want Trump to crash the market!
The Supreme Court goes out of its way to say that its order today does NOT allow Trump to remove members of the Federal Reserve because it is "uniquely structured" and has a "distinct history tradition." (I do not think those distinctions hold water.) www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Forbes: The Qataris have been trying to get rid of that ostentatious luxury jet for five years, but no one would buy it. It costs too much to fly, costs more to maintain, and needs too big a landing strip. They had another one they unloaded on Turkey.

I've never felt more like an English major than when I described the Doll Discourse as a metaphor. (I didn't get good grades in my high school English classes.) But I felt comfortable because it's a metaphor for a very economic idea: Tariffs mean we're all going to get by with less.
