Can anyone explain why the challenge was unsuccessful?

Big crime spree as I watched several of the cross Meridian on a red light. #stopjaywalking

Look, "if Obama did this" is a boring counterfactual, but the shit that scanned as "defiling the office" under Obama would blow your mind.

Insurance rates up $2000.

Food benefits cut off.

Farmers unable to sell their crops.

Skyrocketing national debt.

$40 billion to Argentina.

America First!

The people saying we shouldn’t worry about Fed independence are the same people who told us Trump wouldn’t try to overturn the elections and would eventually accept that he lost.

These are the kind of questions you can’t afford to get wrong.

Rising crime = more funding (and also the reverse).

Days after $5 million donation to MAGA Inc., Trump freezes Medicare waste crackdown Trump pledged to root out "waste, fraud and abuse." Then a big contribution to his Super PAC came in.

1. On February 24, Extremity Care LLC, a company that sells very expensive bandages made from placentas, donated $5 MILLION TO TRUMP'S SUPER PAC

Days later, Trump froze a pending rule that would BAR MEDICARE FROM COVERING EXTREMITY CARE'S PRODUCTS, which are overpriced & not backed by science.

“Trump is worried about the integrity of the data“

Also Trump:

It’s my job to take the blame when things go wrong.

Also, blame the baseball professionals for poor play.

The letter from Trump threatening 35% tariffs on Canadian imports

Trump is now threatening 35% tariffs on Canada, one of our closest allies and largest trading partners. Hard to think of a stupider way of running trade policy.

3. Corporations that publicly endorsed Trump's megabill:

3M
Altria
AT&T
Charter Communications
Chevron
Cisco
Comcast
Delta Airlines
Door Dash
Great Clips
Hair Cuttery
T-Mobile
Uber
United Airlines
UPS
Verizon

What does it mean to say the league was ‘worth $200 million’? Was it sold for that amount of money? Is that based on a valuation of current and future profits?

76% of politically motivated shootings and extremist-related killings in the U.S. over the past decade were of a right-wing nature.

Left-wing motivated shootings were roughly 3%.

So, both sides do it.

As promotions go, this was the worst since the WKRP turkey drop.

The Lieutenant Governor of Indiana is a crazy person.

Description of Indianapolis and she’s not wrong.

RFK Jr. asks CDC for new measles treatment guidance amid his unfounded claims Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’

One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

My bad. I’ll put myself in the blue sky penalty box.

The model in the head of R’s is use the ‘promise’ of higher tariffs and inflated estimates of DOGE savings to justify more high income tax cuts (which would otherwise be politically impossible). You can always back off both tariffs and DOGE cuts at a later time.

Is he tall is hell or is Jim Banks a secret hobbit?

Speaker Mike Johnson floats eliminating federal courts as GOP ramps up attacks on judges Republican lawmakers are setting their sights on the judiciary following court rulings that have halted Trump's agenda.

Republicans in Congress have been 100 percent cool with the Trump admin stealing their power over funding but they remember it real quick when it comes to the idea of eliminating federal courts:

"We got money, spending, the appropriations process to help try to address some of this."

Trump's VA cuts will leave Indiana veterans with slower, costlier health care | Opinion Indiana veterans wait 42 days for primary care appointments. It could get much worse.

There's a very long list of ways in which Trump's choices are going to make life worse for people everywhere. One example: The VA plans to cut 80,000 jobs, which will mean more expensive health care and longer wait times for veterans in Indiana.

Exempting USMCA-compliant auto imports from tariffs would lessen the impact of Trump's trade war, sparing ~$122B in imports (~$170B if parts are exempted)

But it just highlights the ridiculousness of this whole endeavor—why exempt cars but not oil, tomatoes, computers, etc etc?

Fishers' attack on investor-owned homes will lock out families | Opinion We accept the principles of a free-market economy almost everywhere — except when it comes to housing.

Homebuying is brutal:

1. Tightened credit standards disqualify many people from mortgages.
2. Home prices are way up. The median in Fishers is $362,500.
3. 30-year mortgage rate: 6.76%

Many families have nowhere to go but single-family rentals — and Indianapolis suburb Fishers wants to ban them.

If you’re looking for a masterclass in “penny wise, pound foolish,” look no further than the latest health and research-related cuts. Short-term (relatively tiny) savings at the (massive) cost of long-term health, innovation, and stability.

Major Trump donors who complained of immigrant ‘invasion’ used Mexican workers illegally, sources allege Exclusive: Experts believe the alleged ‘shuttle support’ program used by Uline – a company owned by billionaires Liz and Dick Uihlein – is likely illegal and exploitative of workers

Uline, "a company owned by two of Donald Trump’s top mega-donors, has routinely brought dozens of its workers from Mexico to staff its warehouses in Wisconsin and other locations even though they do not appear to have permission to work in the US, according to a Guardian investigation."

Hunter’s behavior was criminal and inexcusable. I would have had no problem with him going to jail. It is also true that he was targeted in an effort to undermine the President.

The American people decided on Nov. 5 that we don’t really care about honesty or upholding political norms. We shouldn’t be surprised that current politicians hear that message.

Limiting public service to only those people who don’t have a family member with substance abuse problems would rule out a significant population. Doesn’t seem ideal.
