Powell: "Inflation for goods has picked up, reflecting the effects of tariffs."

I am pleased to announce another no-talent year!

Rand Paul: "It has not been the history of the US to kill people who are out of combat. Even if there is a war, which most of us dispute -- that a bunch of people who are unarmed allegedly running drugs is a war -- we still don't kill people when they're incapacitated ... it's illegal and immoral."

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration to demand they release the secret memo they claim justifies their illegal strikes on civilians at sea.

Transparency must come immediately — while there’s still an opportunity to stop this cruel and unconstitutional bombing campaign.

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.)

Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

A war criminal without a war It's just murder.

New in PN: A war criminal without a war

"We’re watching the flimsy justifications fall apart in real time. They can try to shift the blame. They can try to say that people clinging to wreckage for dear life are somehow an active threat. But in the end, it’s just murder."

excited to award my kids the Burger King Peace Prize this weekend

this shit is just beyond parody, man

some days you just have to laugh at how unbelievably stupid everything is

YouTube video by Fox Business 'FINANCIAL GRAVE': Kevin O’Leary issues warning to holiday shoppers

absolutely incredible stuff on Fox Business as hosts transition from lecturing Americans about personal debt to showing off Kevin O'Leary's $5 million watch *in the same segment*!

Serious or not, we can’t allow exchanges like this to feel normal. Nor should we become numb to it. Don’t let small men like Hegseth and Kolvet convince you otherwise.

Mark Kelly: "My concern is with the service members -- we're gonna put these individuals in a really tough place. They may find our down the road that they did something that's illegal. It's not fair to them. That's why need presidents and secretaries of defense who understand the Constitution"

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:

“Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”

That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

Re: Kelly

They're about to give a man who would be an unbeatable presidential nominee a huge moral platform and I don't think they've thought this through.

I cannot imagine what could possibly go wrong in trying to court-martial an astronaut and pilot decorated multiple times for valor and exceptional service, who is also a sitting senator, for correctly making the point that service members are obliged not to follow unlawful orders

People: there is no healthcare proposal. There wasn’t one in his first term. There is not one now.

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.

There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

This #GildedAge is playing out as scheduled. 🥇

Silver lining is Mike Johnson has to come up with new reasons not to release the Epstein files

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.
