Exclusive: CDC Director Susan Monarez met with its vaccine-focused center to talk about yesterday’s shooting. I listened to a recording. Scientists and officials are shaken & pointing fingers at RFK Jr. Many said his vilification and misinfo turned them into targets. www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...

BREAKING: Defense Secretary Hegseth says he’s ready to deploy Marines to LA over anti-ICE protests.

Not cops. Not Guard. Marines.
The mask is off. This government treats protest like war.

Let that sink in.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot

The Permanent Tariff Damage Trump tries to walk back his tariffs after supply chain collapse and threats of empty store shelves. But reversing course entirely may not be possible.

Trump's syphilitic-emperor routine yanking tariffs up and down at random, and the obvious fact that he doesn't have the balls for a real fight, is about the worst imaginable situation trade-wise prospect.org/economy/2025...

Import Chinese battery: 145% tariff
Import Chinese battery inside Chinese laptop: 20% tariff
Import Chinese battery inside Vietnamese laptop: 0% tariff

This comes as agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent.

So maybe this isn’t real, or it WAS real until a grownup found out about DOGE’s latest.

I'm teaching Toni Morrison's "Racism and Fascism" piece next week. I plan to focus on her argument that people who engage in fascist behavior often do it because it's fun and thrilling.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. 

The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. 

Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

This is NOT pro-life🤡💩

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

Maybe hating on dick bosses is the great unifier, the thing that brings all Americans together.

Merz was once a die hard Atlanicist. Now, after Trump he is a Gaullist.

Extraordinary.

Wow! What a great cover!
