The emperor may have no clothes, but he does have nukes and access to the Treasury Department's payment system.

Oh please. It’s not “kids” he thinks can make do with less—it’s GIRLS. Girls can scrape by with fewer toys, rights, opportunities, less healthcare. Girl needs? Clearly optional. It isn’t ignorance—it’s weaponized misogyny wrapped in a smug little soundbite. Sit down, manboy. Preferably in silence.
Trump: "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls ... they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."

There is NO "think before you speak" function going on with anyone over at State Media Fox News, is there? Thinking at all may be disqualifying to stay employed there, come to think of it. My bad.
My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.
Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security

Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

Your American allies.

BREAKING: US federal judge allows DOGE to takeover $500 million office building for free.

In fact, the building—and all of the property inside it—had already been transferred on Saturday.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

Ask yourself:

Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this?

Why would any decent human being do this?

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.
