This is DoorDash’s “Breakfast Basics Index,” which tracks only 4 items: three eggs, a glass of milk, a bagel & an avocado & excludes coffee, bacon, bread & OJ, all of which have gone up in price this year. They cherry-picked a quirky DoorDash metric and spun it as proof of an economic turnaround.

Exactly JVL. “I robbed the bank’s safe deposit boxes but it would be really hard for me to figure out how to return the stolen goods, so 🤷‍♀️” doesn’t sound like a very solid argument to me.

OK, someone explain to me why it's the fault of the guy who brought the ridiculously bad idea to Trump and not the fault of Trump, who loved and immediately promoted the ridiculously bad idea? It's ok to have a moron for president as long as someone can manage and try to contain his idiocy?

The name was changed in 1947 to reflect a shift in focus after WWII from wartime operations to a broader mission of national security and defense, especially in the emerging Cold War. It wasn't done to be "woke" (FFS) but to adjust to the changing threat and risk profile our country faced.

If a journalist works up the nerve to ask the WH about this, can you please move past Leavitt's "Trump has the legal right to issue pardons"? We know that and it isn't the question. The question is whether it's ethical and moral and whether he SHOULD issue these pardons.

Shift risk & cost onto individuals while maintaining low taxes & regulation for corporations & wealthy donors. It’s essentially market-driven healthcare without strong consumer protections, leading to underinsurance, medical bankruptcies & widening inequality, which the ACA was designed to prevent.

What they're "working on":
- Reduce ACA subsidies or let them expire
- Cut Medicaid & add work requirements
- Promote private-market initiatives like HSA's, short-term plans, etc.
- Shift federal programs to state control & block grants

Oh for sure. They have shown such a deep desire for and commitment to bipartisan governance. 🙄

If we can just figure out how to give these benefits to rural, red state whites…

And a complete moron. He’s been posting crap like this for years, dementia or not!

Yeah, but then they’d have to vote for a woman. Of color.

And that’s if we give them credit for being morons. Even worse would be knowingly complicit but lying about it.

Well, it's hard to focus on affordability issues when his policies are what is driving the rising costs and job losses. And when he's focused on mass deportation, turning the DOJ loose on anyone who opposed him, tearing down the WH to build a gilded ballroom & grifting-grifting-grifting.

Question: We have numerous incidents of Trump officials lying to courts and/or ignoring court rulings. Is that legal now? Just checking.

Who could possibly win? The suspense is killing me!
