PPI report shows inflation still a thing, and lower prices for farmers also aren't good If you thought INFLATON WATCH might be fading in 2026, Friday's report on the Producer Price Index says product inputs were still gettin...

Friday's Producer Prices report was a double-whammy, as machinery and technology products were way up due to tariffs, and farm prices were on the way down.

Yep. All the more reason to tell Israel "You're on your own for these things".

Because blindly supporting that small country 5,000 miles away leads some to think <<< those people >>> are running our country in their interest over America's.

Yet another reason for Dems to give the boot to AIPAC.

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

Yep. I'm gonna keep suggesting this: Trump is succeeding in getting people to rediscover what's good about open societies

What the Donald Trump of 2016 would think of the Donald Trump of 2026 will never be known. But they are starkly different figures when it comes to overseas intervention. A

Trump does unpopular thing in direct violation of a campaign promise, part #976348
It’s not a mystery why his approval rating is 37% and Dems are leading by 10 on the generic ballot in our latest poll. Break enough promises and people start to notice

The Trump regime, which has boasted about low gas prices, just launched a war that has closed the Strait of Hormuz, where 20% of the world's oil normally passes.

I suspect this war is going to make AIPAC as popular as the NRA among Democratic primary voters.

Reminder: Trump is calling to ⬆️ the military budget by ~$550 bn, more than a 50% ⬆️

This is on the heels of the largest cuts to the social safety net in history AND a $150 bn military ⬆️ in OBBBA.

There isn’t enough money to help the hungry and the sick β€” but somehow there’s always enough for war.

What we need is a reminder that Israel is a COUNTRY, and not a religion.

Anyone who conflates the two in bad faith should be called out and separated from legitimate discussion.

Trump wearing a fuckass USA hat. He looks like a joke, because he is.

It’s the least important thing, but I can’t believe our pedophile president just declared an illegal war at 3am in this fuckass hat.

The total lack of consequences for GOP politicians' lying about universities & professors is a cancer on society. Robin Vos & Steve Nass & Scott Walker have been doing it in WI for 15 years. Now it's national. If Democrats <ever> spoke like this about anyone, it would be a nonstop national scandal.

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.

Sounds like you gotta get shit done when you're in power instead of having made-up barriers like the Senate filibuster and taking 2 years to implement new rules and regulations. And stop trusting corporations

"Well that's not how the System works." Then you have to change things to make them work.

Sorry but the craziest and worst regime in the world is North Korea and they have nuclear weapons and Donald Trump wrote what he described as love letters to its dictator.

Emotions? Caring? Changing opinions and making people notice stuff? What's that got to do with "politics done the right way"?

Everyone knows that flowery speeches on the Senate floor is the only way to get anything done in this country! But we're not here to actually INFLUENCE people who may vote!

This is why DNC hacks need to be blown out in primaries. Because you don't understand that getting attention and driving opinion matters.

You are not savvy, you do not "know how things work". You're just a lazy Pom-Pom waver for these failed Leaders and don't care about real change and progress.

Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership

Case in point - the La Follette School using the Tommy Thompson Center (which Robbin' Vos set up) and CROWE to bring in Mitch Daniels and the FIRE guy in the span of a month.

Guess they don't need my donations...

In 2026, being a social media influencer IS part of the role. If you don't get that, you've been watching too much West Wing and need to deal with reality.

There's a reason why people who cling to norms and tradition sound ridiculous in our current country. The System you grew up on has failed.

The entire Democratic strategy debate β€” "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? β€” is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!
