Live your life so that when you visit the Pope and he dies the next day everyone’s first thought isn’t “bet he killed him”

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Just so you understand,

the USA will never be the same.

Our global standing will never be the same.

We may, in time, be able to repair some of this shit.

But it will never be the same.

These aren't tariffs. They are a horse's head in the bed of (almost) every world government and business leader.

I'm no numbersatitian or financializer, but my understanding is that destroying the economy would be bad for the economy.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

You should laugh at anyone who says the president should have unlimited power because he was elected. His power has to be limited *because* he's the president. This is fifth grade level social studies

once again I have to invoke the specter of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who is in Hell now. under Reagan, the term "government spending" was effectively demonized. fuck you, Reaganite ghouls! spending money, on its people and their needs, is the function of government! public works are good! say so!

If Dem leaders think they’re presenting themselves as respectful of our institutions… all I have to say is, respect for our institutions would be fighting to defend them.

Respect for our institutions is -not- sitting idly by while they’re burned down.

A small benefit of this terrible situation may be that it will, hopefully, teach future voters to pay more attention to principles and less attention to personalities

Not to like toot my own horn but *every time* I bring up tariffs on the radio I define them: "tariffs are taxes American businesses pay to import goods from abroad."

Given all the lies and the fact that many Americans didn't take international economics 101, I encourage others to do this as well.

Others have remarked on this but the resurgence of the R word across the political spectrum is really wild? Like did I miss a memo about this? I expect it from some people but from others, you really can't come up with a better and more interesting way to describe people you don't like?

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like
-check them out regularly at the library
-request the library order them if they don’t have them
-buy them
-start or support banned book clubs
-organize a banned book kids story time
A real shame
