DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas?

LUTNICK: Generally 10%

DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8%

LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff

DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Amazing. Respect the lede.

Clayton is in a torture chamber

We went from "I will end inflation and drive down prices on day 1" to "this recession isn't my fault" in 49 days.

The people who voted for Trump because they thought he’d pull the U.S. back from foreign entanglements and overseas adventurism are really among the prime suckers of our era.

I’ve got to agree with the Wall Street Journal editorial board this time.

Trump and Musk's actions can overwhelm the reader. Important not to forget basic facts.

If Musk illegally accessed federal employee records and tax and social security information and transferred them to a private device, he is vulnerable to prosecution and a multidecade sentence in federal prison.

Did not realize this address from Trudeau was going to be aimed at us

CALIPARI RETURNS TO KENTUCKY AND GETS A DUB

COACH CALIPARI SILENCES THE HATERS 😮

Arkansas goes into Rupp Arena and UPSETS No. 12 Kentucky‼️

You are Living Through a Great Power Competition Amongst Elites. The Populism Really is for Show. It's a tough pill to swallow this narrative, because the truth involves admitting our lack of agency in this process. But it happens to be the cold, hard truth.

Let's walk through some cold, hard truths about the reality we now live in. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/you-are-li...

Not gonna lie I did kinda expect our Democratic politicians to have something like a plan to counter the 920-page detailed fascist blueprint that was published in April 2023

It's so fitting that Donald Trump's inauguration will be held in the Capitol Rotunda, the very place four years ago where his pack of lawless loons ransacked, looted, and smeared their excrement. What an apt metaphor for what the incoming administration plans to do to America.

BREAKING — Joe Biden has pulled off the impossible: positive job growth EVERY SINGLE MONTH of his presidency.

The last negative month was the last full month of Trump’s first term, December 2020.

Thank you to the Biden/Harris Administration for yet another amazing benefit for all Americans:

“Medical debt will be removed from consumer credit reports for all Americans under a final rule announced Tuesday by Vice President Kamala Harris.”

RIP Greg Gumbel 🙏….forgot he missed the 2024 tournament and they hoped he’d be back in 2025….March Madness coverage will never be the same

I feel as if this kind of introspection is best done to one’s self or one’s legal and spiritual advisors and not in writing in public

“Suggesting territorial extension.” They couldn’t fluff any harder if they tried.

“He was on display for everyone to see in the biggest staged perp walk I've ever seen in my career. What was the mayor doing at this press conference.. the mayor should know more than anyone about the presumption of innocence that he, too, is afforded when he is dealing with his own issues.”

He finally looked up the Constitution to check who was technically the President.

AOC: “Oh, I don’t think we’re witnessing the START of an oligarchy. I think we are fully here.” 🇺🇸

Arkansas has been under GOP control for the last 15 years and we are clearly not better off.

The truth is, Sarah is actually making things worse.

Clay Travis getting all three football games today hilariously wrong

A surefire way to get rich is to always fade Clay Travis.

We really don't have to do the "Did Indiana deserve a bid?" thing. They're going to end up 11-2. They're 10th in SP+ and will end up having beaten everyone below them while going 0-2 to teams above them. They were probably won of the 12 "best" teams and definitely deserving. I hate this part.

Russell is back again for Arkansas. Interesting situation for sure.

So the person holding up the pediatric cancer research funding for months was Rand Paul. I’m shocked.

Merry Muskmas, #VPTrump!!!
