He acknowledges that inflation is going up, but still cuts interest rates. Insanity.

The government is never getting that desk back. It's Trumps now, no way he gives it up.
Crikey, imagine reading this 2025 sentence from a major-media publication back in 1996

REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?
LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

That sucks. Because Trump is definitely going to do that for Putin. He wants to be Churchill, but he's actually Neville Chamberlain.
🤡 Putin wants to discuss with US legal recognition of Crimea and Donbas as Russian territories

Russian ruler Vladimir Putin has said that the legal recognition of Crimea and Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts as Russian territory must be one of the key issues in negotiations with the United States.

For what it's worth. In my eyes, James Bond has never been the same person. As the actors changed, then I always envisioned that the person known as 007 changed, either via death or retirement. When one 007 ends, another takes up the mantle.

The thing to understand about this is that this catastrophe in the UK has redounded to the political benefit of the very same people and political movement that pushed for it! Extremely perverse.
I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?

Yes, why can't you all work together to increase healthcare costs and give billions in tax breaks to the rich?

Millions of Americans will believe this. Because Trump and Fox News will them prices are down. Cognitive dissonance is powerful in Maga.
TRUMP: “Our groceries are way down (not true). Everything is way down (not true). Thanksgiving meals 25% down (not true). So I don't want to hear about affordability.”
He’s trying to lie his way through it.
He thinks we are all morons. 🤥
