Someone, please explain the nuts and bolts of how a social media post / "EO" became a regressive tax on Americans.
1. Are tariffs being levied actually or are govt folks just telling tRump what he wants to hear?
*or*
2. How are govt employees implement the process?

...and BTW, what I'm saying, and where you seem to finally be going, is the fire that @davidhogg.bsky.social was trying to light under the DNC. Y'all need to heal that wound, because you need the vitality of your rabble rousers.

"I'm just saying," the first witch said. "A cat familiar is more traditional."

"Or a raven," the second witch said. "Where did she even get a dragon from, anyway?"

"She tamed it. In her last job," the third witch said.

"What job was that?"

"Princess."

"Oh. Well. No wonder she changed careers."

Blumenthal 'angry' and 'ashamed' after visit with imprisoned Afghan interpreter arrested by ICE in CT “It is cruel, and it is stupid,” U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal told reporters Wednesday outside the Plymouth (Mass.) County Correctional Facility.

NEW: Last month, ICE detained an Afghan interpreter in East Hartford.

Today, @blumenthal.senate.gov visited him at the ICE facility where he’s being held in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Here’s my dispatch from the Cape, for CT Insider — www.ctinsider.com/news/article... #nutmegsky

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

i wonder if Russell Vought is into cement patios and golden ballrooms... or maybe he's gaslighting DT into thinking he can be as crazy as he wants and to go with whatever pops into his head so he can build a case to get rid of him

And, poor people pay more taxes than the rich (%, not $). It's a win-win. /s

It’s a cargo cult of journalism. The current people just go through the motions of asking questions without knowing why with the hopes of making news.
