Trump Wades Into Bailout Politics in Offering a Lifeline to Argentina

Nothing says "America First" like shutting down the U.S. government while propping up the Argentinian government.

Plumbing is simply the attitude we adopt towards bathroom fixtures we personally dislike.

Cass, very disappointing. If he thinks someone who denies "a right to be free from discrimination" can still be a liberal, then he shares a definition of "liberal" with zero thoughtful persons.

No objective reader thinks your dismissal was either wise or fair. Your public appreciates you and your work, Karen.

"We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob. ... They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred."
--FDR

Sure, if ineptitude were a superpower.

To quote Boston, it's more than a feeling.

You are mistaken. Unemployment is up, and inflation is also up, significantly over the 2% LR Fed target.

Under such conditions, the appropriate monetary policy is neutrality. Who gains when the Fed aggravates inflation to counteract Trump's bad policies?

The Washington Post fired Karen Attiah for accurately reporting the bigoted things Charlie Kirk has said about ... people like Karen Attiah. So glad I unsubscribed from WaPo when Bezos decided to interfere with editorial decisionmaking.

Wt unholy f.

The same Supreme Court majority that held it unconstitutional for universities to consider race as a relevant factor in admissions now holds that ICE can consider race a relevant factor in detentions. If any of these justices had been students in my courses, they would have failed out of law school.

What this tweet demonstrates is that RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

"Man" is a generous word in this context.

One of the most disappointing of all human motivations is the drive to feel self-esteem based on something--race, sex, looks, inherited wealth or privilege--that in reality reflects no personal merit.

Can I pet that dawg???

The Trump Administration has denied visas to Venezuelas Little League Baseball team to participate in the Little League World Series. Chew on that for a bit.

If Ghislaine Maxwell will help mega-millionaires molest children, she'll lie to cover up for Trump in exchange for a pardon. Immorality isn't context-specific.

Oh wow hey @tulsigabbard did u see this?

The U.S. government decision to withdraw from UNESCO, like the decision to withdraw from the WHO, will gratify the most ignorant sectors of the U.S. voting public, while harming both the United States as a whole and global cooperation in worthwhile projects. It is quite simply a fool's policy.

If you want to argue that all Americans should pay higher prices so that a few Americans can have manufacturing jobs lost to global trade, then argue it. Stop lying that the inflation doesn't hurt Americans.

"The dollar declining sort of softens tariffs completely." Absolutely wrong. The dollar declining reflects inflation caused by the tariffs, it won't undo the damage. It is totally unsurprising that Trump's spokesman is as clueless about elementary economics as Trump himself.

It is inexcusable that some news channels refer to the "Israel-Gaza War." 260 IDF soldiers have been killed since Israel invaded Gaza, versus over 56,000 Arab casualties, around 45,000 of which were civilians. That is not a war, it's a massacre.

Wow, I'd never heard of that case. I just read it. The reasoning strikes me as asinine.

Laches.

Denmark to tackle deepfakes by giving people copyright to their own features Amendment to law will strengthen protection against digital imitations of people’s identities, government says

An interesting approach to deepfakes, but it will only work in countries in which the legal system is widely accessible to the public.

US state department told to end nearly all its overseas pro-democracy programs Exclusive: All but two of the programs awarded under the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor would be cut, affecting nearly $1.3bn in grants

When you want to dismantle democracy at home, why would you want other countries to have it?

If I'm not mistaken, this is the premise of the movie Idiocracy.
