Tax the American people, then give them some of THEIR MONEY back and pretend it’s from the kindness of your heart.

Fatty McAnkles is running the ole worn and tired playbook

Except for the $40 billion we are giving to Argentina. That’s just beyond stupid

The Mississippi state legislature begs to differ. 😏

I did not vote for you, but I want to congratulate you and let you know that I will do whatever I can so that you can succeed, especially in making sure that the Jewish community in NYC returns to a sense of safety.

The premium the US pays on 10-year Treasuries over foreign 10-year yields after those are hedged back into Dollars has fallen below where it was during the Biden administration. This doesn't mean the US is doing well. There's just so many other high-debt basket cases out there...

He's just like the Green Acres guy, come on

private wealth replacing Congress is not generosity, it is a warning.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

they will still find some delusional reason to justify supporting Trump. it's depressingly bleak how much propaganda is effective

lol

Precious metals are tumbling. I'd flagged last week's IMF/WB meetings as a catalyst for this bubble to pop, which is what's happened. This is overdue and is healthy. But it's not the same thing as the end of the "debasement trade." That will keep going...

Trump has believed, since his first term, that the U.S. treasury is his personal piggy bank (as he did with his personal charity). The entire purpose of his presidency is to funnel as much of it as he can to himself and his family

America has a dictator who loots the government for his private gain, locks up his opposition and launches dubious military strikes without any oversight.

The Inspector General system is basically broken now. Most IGs have been fired, most positions remain vacant. Those who remain or would take the job pose no risk to holding the regime accountable.
Congress added more barriers to Trump firing IGs after his first term. He just ignored them.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

ICE boosts weapons spending 700% A Popular Information investigation reveals tens of millions in new ICE spending on guns, chemical weapons, and explosives.

ICE increased weapons spending by 700% — including purchases of chemical weapons and guided missile warheads.

ICE was always going to be Trump’s private military to deploy domestically against Americans.

Pay attention.

The Santos commutation is a prelude to a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon.

Mark my words.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

There it is

The over-the-top laughter here in response to Trump's quip reminds me of the scene in The Sopranos when Tony sees all of his lackeys busting up over his half-assed jokes and realizing they're only laughing because they have to.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Stop the scapegoating and start dealing with America’s real gun crisis.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.
