If Kristi Noem needs a private jet or Argentina needs $40 billion, Trump will make it happen.

But when it comes to feeding hungry kids? Trump is looking for every excuse he can find to block SNAP benefits.

He needs to follow the law and keep SNAP running.

Since we're saving coal & manufacturing & playing all the greatest hits, your regular reminder that most Americans now work in the non-tradable services sector, experience trade only as consumers, & the mercantilism does nothing but make them poorer when they shop at Target, Costco, & Walmart.

Now Volcker’s insights and achievements are often scoffed at by Wall Street types and government newbies. To our detriment.

Jack Paar used that line when he hosted a new late night show for a period in the 70s(?). Maybe on ABC.

I would think that fewer workers in key industries would drive inflation, e.g. farm workers. I believe this happened with Brexit.

To watch live theater from Broadway two nights in a row (the Tonys and Good Night and Good Luck) is a remarkable treat.

Murrow told the truth. He refused to repeat McCarthy’s lies. Good journalism does not repeat lies.

So glad the media has uncovered Joe Biden’s attempt to undermine democracy. Bet he knew about that prostate thing all along.

I guess Biden was too old to ruin the U.S. credit rating.

MAGA Melts Down Over New Pope's Anti-Trump, Pro-Immigrant Social Media Donald Trump's supporters are not liking the social media of Robert Prevost, Pope Leo XIV, which includes several posts critical of the president.
