Then when the bubble bursts, the US taxpayers will already be on the hook. β€œToo big to fail” redux. Meanwhile these folks will continue to collect on their massive compensation packages.

Trump’s Plan to Nuke the Global Economy Prompts Conservative Justices to Remember That the Constitution Exists The Court has no problem facilitating the disappearance of civil rights. Shareholder value is a different story.

I listened to the Supreme Court's oral argument today so you dont have to

With the notable exception of Alito & Thomas carrying on like 'what if aliens were gonna destroy the world and the only thing that could stop it was a tariff,' the Court seemed Not Into It

Because of the Trump shutdown, the United States has closed the dining facility at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas and told US troops stationed in Germany to seek supplies from German food pantries.

All while Trump maintains threats of military action against multiple US cities and foreign countries.

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery

Lol β€œconfusion about who is press is leading to first amendment violations”—what about the PROTESTORS who are getting their shit rocked on the regular? Is that not *also* a first amendment violation?

The constitution is supposed to protect ALL of us

Once again, it is not up to the police department to determine who is and isn’t press, nor do I have any faith that possessing an LAPD press pass will actually keep journalists safe. In fact, it’s likely to do the opposite, and drive a wedge between LAPD sanctioned β€œpress” and indies w/out the pass

The Truth About Trump’s Tariffs
Robert Reich The Truth About Trump’s Tariffs

The Supreme Court today questioned Trump's use of emergency powers to levy tariffs.

Perhaps they're finally realizing what the rest of us already know.

Other countries aren't paying for the tariffs. We are. https://youtu.be/AfVGUiet39E?si=d0zTlOiRdMCuv6ke

Very similar in tone, sourcing and style to the "Harvard getting ready to cave to the Trump administration's demands" reporting the Times kept trotting out.

Mayor Mamdani redefines what it means to hope His victory has created a harsh contrast between the world we want and the world we have.

"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a disciplineβ€”one we must practice every single day."

also, none of this fixes the ACA subsidy problem, which is the dems' core demand, without that, there's no deal to be had

the thing is, they all (dems and republicans) *should* be trying to figure out how to get out of the shutdown, but none of this reporting actually suggests that either republican chamber leader knows how to actually *do* that. thune, johnson and trump all want mutually exclusive things

This video is bonkers, he seems unwell, but just to be clear about the history:

The "nuclear option" to blow up the filibuster was a Republican idea.

Trent Lott (R-MS) coined the term in 2003, and in 2005 Republicans used the threat of it to confirm several wacky federal court nominees.

The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops Michael Burry, who shorted the housing market in 2008, has bet over $1 billion that the shares of AI companies Nvidia and Palantir will fall.

β€œMichael Burry, who famously shorted the US housing market before its collapse in 2008, has bet over $1 billion that the share prices of AI chipmaker Nvidia and software company Palantir will fall β€” making a similar play, in other words, on the prediction that the AI industry will collapse.”

Trump is apparently doing his crazy posts on video now. My theory: he heard Mamdani did lots of well received social media videos and he’s trying to copy the idea, just as he suddenly started talking about β€œaffordability” today.

As a child of the south, where the GOP has been engaging in egregious gerrymandering for fucking ever, now transplanted to California - I frankly think it's past time blue states gerrymandered the fuck out of themselves to maximize blue house seats

Mayor Mamdani redefines what it means to hope His victory has created a harsh contrast between the world we want and the world we have.

"The ADL’s efforts highlight a troubling contrast between the multi-racial coalition that worked tirelessly to elect Mamdani with the people who’ve been taught to fear him. Where we see a pocket of blue sky for the first time in a year, they see an apocalypse. I don’t know how to reconcile the two."
