White House claims "more than 1,000%" rise in assaults on ICE agents, data says otherwise Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers claim assaults on their officers are up sharply since June. There's no public evidence that number is true.

Imagine being mad you didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize while you’re busy stirring up Civil War in your own country.

Trump is blocking GW of new power capacity while electricity bills rise at 2x inflation. No wonder Dems are already targeting this ahead of midterms @opinion.bloomberg.com

The guy has threatened to seize the territory of our closest NATO allies, taken us from a working JCPOA to bombing Iran, & repeatedly sided with Putin about Ukraine. Stop it. This stuff should have ended his presidency months ago, let alone won him a Nobel Peace Prize.

Yes

who gains from this

"Yes, she's Venezuelan. Yes, 'she'."

I mean, if you don't genuinely lol at this then I'm afraid we can't be friends.

The drop in shares of private equity/“business development companies” gets Hartnett’s attention at B of A.

“.. the ‘glue’ that binds Wall St bull & Main St bear is credit ..”

Two economies:

B of A data shows lower-income consumer spending growing at 0.6%

Higher-income growing at 4x that. “That’s fairly significant.”

And screwed up a lot that worked at least pretty well.

Brutal.

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room. Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.

Not a Dodgers fan but LOL Philly.

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

America First!

these people are actually out of their fucking minds and im so sick of being told we need to pretend otherwise

By all means, let’s switch to biannual financial reporting. 🤡

If this stuff would end up on the news it would absolutely motivate voters. Plenty of people who don't give a shit about politics would absolutely give af about this.

Like a lot of things with RFK Jr if someone just said this to you and wasn’t in charge of medicine in America you’d go: ooooooookay and keep pressing the elevator button

Delta saying they’ll account for 60% of industry profits and the rest of it will mostly go to United. Not a new story but possibly still underappreciated in some quarters. Antitrust people should think about how to create a third major that can compete with the two megas.

Agree 100%.

Did DOGE save us $2 trillion?

“Not even close. .. Total spending excluding interest rose $220 billion, or 4%, for the entire fiscal year.” 🤡

Couldn't be clearer. MAGA-GOP is just fine with their shutdown.

So much for blaming Dems.
