In the past 36 hours:
-USA Credit rating has dropped
-Trump has threatened Springsteen, Swift, SCOTUS, and Walmart
-Trump has rattled on about groceries
-Tornadoes have devastated parts of the US no longer covered by NWS

…and I’m supposed to care about Joe Biden’s mental acuity in 2023?

Whenever I think we are living in the peak dumbest timeline, it turns dumber.
Trump says movies produced outside the U.S. are a national security threat. So he’s imposing a 100% tariff on all movies that are “produced in foreign lands.”

Throwing a military parade as a birthday present for dear leader is the sort of thing that ought to instinctively offend a patriot in a democracy.
(AP) — Detailed Army plans for a potential military parade on President Donald Trump’s birthday in June call for more than 6,600 soldiers, at least 150 vehicles, 50 helicopters, seven bands and possibly a couple thousand civilians, The Associated Press has learned.

A Milwaukee judge has been arrested this morning allegedly because she “tried to help an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest after he appeared in her courtroom last week.”

There’s not a lot of info on this yet so stay tuned for more as it is released.

The actual White House social media. What a timeline we're in. Entire libraries of history books will be filled with this era.
The White House reacts to the New York Times headline on coverage of Thursday evening's meeting between a US senator and the Maryland man the courts have determine was wrongly deported to El Salvador.

I see the "f*ck your feelings" crowd is back in force.
Rep. Dan Meuser on the antisemitic arson attack on Josh Shapiro: "The left has to look in the mirror here ... our hearts go out to the Shapiro family on this, but they gotta tone it down too."

(Note that the host then blames Shapiro for the attack as Meuser indicates agreement.)

Honestly, can someone tell me if *I'm* the one who's wrong about tariffs? I don't understand how and why he keeps insisting that tariffs are being paid by other countries. This is Economics 101.

We are not getting rich on tariffs, we (us little folk) are getting POORER.
And there it is …

Howie Roseman says the #Eagles won't even scout players who have ever been violent with women:

“I won’t even watch them. I don't even want to talk. I can't go 'He’s really good, he did it 10 years ago and he learned from it.” It just doesn't work for us."

Dear Leader
Pam Bondi brazenly lies, tells Trump that he was "overwhelmingly elected by the biggest majority" and says "you have the authority to determine how the money of this country will be spent."

I introduced a bill to ban owning of individual stocks across all 3 branches. After what we saw over last few days, Americans deserve certainty that gov officials, Congress, others aren’t trying to profit from their jobs.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price.

Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.
