It won't make much difference either way. Continuous cuts in the rate have already been priced into the market since the first one. If we borrowed the GDP everyday, 0.25% would make an $18.7 billion/qtr difference to someone. Argentina throwaway money.

@bsky.app At least the ones Trump deems declassified. Anything damaging to his presidency will be considered a threat to national security. I wish people would notice all the not pedophile crimes in the 20,000 already released. Lots of other bad stuff being ignored.

Its not evn historically accurate. Just brainwashing. The 10 cammandments that were required to be displayed were the Protestant 10 commandments and Texas was first "settled" and "ruled" by Catholics for ~300 years before any protestants took control.

Isreal is the only country I know that has had refugee camps in its on borders that have been populated by its own residents for over 60 years . If there is no Palestine , then evrey resident is either a citizen or a subject of Isreal. They treat their subjects badly. 13 were killed yesterday.

It's embarrassing to realize he's also the head of state which means he represents the country more than just as a politician.

Trump is the wrong person to sort of dismiss and partially justify a murder by saying the victim wasn't liked by a lot of people.

It's sad to think that 48% of the population will sell their vote for $2,000. But they sold their souls for much less.

Glad it came out to see what was going on before I got on the freeway. Ashamed to realize that I thought for a second it might count as a passenger in the multiple occupancy lane. Alive and well in one of the trees along the road right now jumped off as soon as I pulled over.

It won't cause Amazon to hire back all the people they laid off or give any the 30 to 40,000 workers laid off in the oil patch their jobs back. I doubt any savings will be passed on to the record credit card debt. But I guess it makes people feel important.

That supposedly clean resolution had a lot of new laws in it.

There are so many ways Trump can wiggle out of any liabilities associated with the Epstein files including withholding any incriminating evidence as part of an investigation.
Congress should really concentrate on putting penalties in place for shutdowns.
November 17, 2025 at 4:12 PM
With just the month to go that really should introduce legislation to penalized Congress for shutdowns. At least the speaker of the house and the Senate majority leaders should have to pay fine such that for every month the government is shut down they lose a year's pay.

Most recent crop report estimates that average soybean production in the US this year will be 53 bushels an acre. At $11.2 a bushel (up from~ $10.5 last year) That's $593 an acre total revenue. The tariff subsidy is $1,000 an acre for soybeans. And the farmer still gets to sell the soybeans.

Still curious to know why Epstien would have thought it would have been provacative for a reporter to ask Donnie about the mortgage on Maralago.
