Well, I sure feel more secure about my financial future.
Trump: "An old fashioned term that we use -- groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it."

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Under threats from President Trump the NYT writes a headline that paints him in the best of light. Colombia reportedly accepted the deportees after *its* demands were met
Under threats from President Trump that included steep tariffs, President Gustavo Petro of Colombia relented and will allow U.S. military planes to fly deportees into the country, after turning two transports back in response to what he called inhumane treatment.

It’s worth emphasizing that the Colombia fight was not about accepting deportations. It was that the Colombian president demanded deportees be treated humanely, and not as props for Trump’s performative cruelty. That simple request for decency was enough for Trump to instigate a trade war.

Whatever your opinion about the Hunter Biden pardon, if it gets more attention than the Kash Patel nomination, it is one more instance of a failure to distinguish between fundamental and trivial threats to the rule of law.

Racists are tragically mediocre people. There is not a single human who ever existed who shared the characteristics of being extraordinary as well as being racist. Because a central driving force behind racism is an inability to cope with mediocrity

I feel like we're all in some updated and overly on-the-nose C.S. Lewis-esque metaphor of the afterlife, where we're in Heaven doing our thing and they're over in Hell furious at us. They could in principle come here and stop being sociopathic weirdos, but they're too bought in to their bit.

What a strange headline for a story that notes:
1. 2,169 ballots were rejected for no ID.
2. "The voter ID law disproportionately hindered Democrats."
3. "The evidence overwhelmingly shows" that fraud "is essentially nonexistent."
4. The state Supreme Court race was decided by only 625 votes.
