Yes Americans famously love austerity, especially when it’s pitched to them by a guy who was currently building a gold leafed ball room
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

I’ll re-up the offer: I’ll pay for a weekend for 2 anywhere in the world to the 1st media member who publicly defends their colleague with a variation of “fuck u sir, shame on u, she asked a legit question, you’re out of line, apologize to her” the next time Trump personally insults their colleague.
Trump to ABC's Rachel Scott: "You are the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place. Let me just tell you -- you are an obnoxious-- a terrible reporter. And it's always the same thing with you. I told you."

Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire.

The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich.

We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

I have been thinking about this for months. What's the point of Cassidy being a senator, a doctor, and now in the case of hepatitis-B, a gastroenterologist? What good is power if he doesn't use it to stop what's coming and roll back damage done? Even if it takes impeachment articles against Kennedy?
That last point. Cassidy really has enormous leverage if he wants to use it. He would win this fight. Worst case is he winds up losing a primary and spends his 70s (he's 68 now) as a hero to millions. He'll likely never have as much influence over anything again as he has over this right now.
ACIP may end universal Hep B vaccination today.

Hep B prevention is Cassidy's passion, as he made clear during RFK Jr's confirmation hearings.

But let's not forget... his vote to confirm RFK Jr. got us into this mess!

He needs to use every lever of power he has in the Senate to fix it.

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

For the life of me I don't understand why posts like this are not creating intense discussion about Trump's fitness for office. If our leader is not aware of what is happening around him, does not see the sky as blue, how can he remain in this job?

It's profoundly dangerous for the country.

This morning, Trump called for the execution of 6 Members of Congress.

Trump must be removed from office. Today. He is a clear & present danger to this country. Invoke the 25th Amendment, or impeach & convict him. Now. He is an immediate danger to this country. He must be removed from office today.

This was not only predictable, it was predicted.
New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.

In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:
FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves
In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.
