In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.

Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."

Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

The proposed changes reported over the weekend to FDA vaccine approvals are unethical to patients and healthcare providers across our nation.

We have real healthcare delivery issues in need of clear headed leadership. Not this.

New C.D.C. Director Is Fired, White House Says

Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s β€œwords can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

When folks can afford fewer things at higher prices, economists describe this as a decline in real income, and a widespread fall in real income is called a recession.

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected β€” that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court β€” and that wasn’t true.

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means.

It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

Seeing a lot of "RFK IS Wrong About Autism" headlines. Well, duh.

Strike the word "austism" and replace it with "everything" and it saves time.
