GDP was cut in half since last year. It doesn't take a Fed chair to predict. Consumer spending is 70-80% of GDP. When you tariff the world, including penguins, people know they will pay those taxes and cut back. Trump a Wharton B School grad? I'm a Michigan B School grad and we sure knew that!!
Powell: "GDP growth has slowed notably in the first half of this year, to a pace of 1.2%, roughly half the 2.5% pace in 2024. The declining growth has largely reflected a slowdown in consumer spending ... higher tariffs have begun to push up prices in some categories of goods."

Who thinks these stupid things through? Texas flood victims got squat and this is a wasted $1 billion to paint a wall black. Sadistic or just plain stupid?

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Great piece on the vacations by Trump and Vance. What you missed was that when Obama golfed, the taxpayers weren't forced to pay for the Secret Service to rent his luxury rooms, golf carts, food, and porta bodies -all of which was paid to Trump to protect him! So corrupt!

Why isn't Michigan following suit? Can't we fund a Ballot Measure to temporarily let voters choose the Districts? @governor.ca.gov is stopping the Gerrymandering nuclear option by Trump (and probably 3 terms). We can't survive 3 terms!!!
California is proposing to hold a special election on November 4th to give voters the power to fight back against Donald Trump’s tyranny.
We will not sit back while Trump and his Republican lapdogs in Texas attempt to rig the next election.

Why can't America do these innovative things? The answer is, we can. We need leadership with courage.
I love this creativity and technology. A solar powered train. I’d love to have that here in the United States. A great step forward for Australia.

Use Logic. Trump is compromised in some way. Why else his 'fantastic' relationship with Putin, even above our Allies? To end it, take $300 billion frozen assets in Brussels, build offensive weapons and a golden dome for Ukraine. Kill oil sales.

Almost everything is reversible. The democratic wreckage of Trump and MAGA, the deficits and debts, and geopolitical hostilities. One thing can't be reversed. The ecological spiraling damage of #Climatechange. God made one and only. It's happening and we must change. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
