Hi, Jean. My friend is a Nigerian prince who needs to urgently retrieve $1,000,000 from an abandoned trust from his father.

If you can wire $5,000 today, you will be entitled to 35% of the trust. Please reply at your earliest convenience.

The CFPB was created. The Trump administration is seeking to eliminate it, despite the fact that Congress has passed no law enabling it to do so.

The Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago, once considered our Nation’s BEST, now has a more than 28% vacancy factor, and is ready to call it quits unless something is done about the murder and crime, which is prevalent throughout the City. CALL IN THE TROOPS, FAST, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! “Just the News”

Call in the troops to solve the commercial real estate crisis in our swanky downtown cores

You can’t make this shit up, folks

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

The U.S. Supreme Court was given the wrong numbers. The “unwind” in the event of a negative decision on Tariffs, would be, including investments made, to be made, and return of funds, in excess of 3 Trillion Dollars. It would not be possible to ever make up for that kind of a “drubbing.” That would truly become an insurmountable National Security Event, and devastating to the future of our Country - Possibly non-sustainable!

Oh, so he totally stole the money

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.

TSA agents are working to protect us without pay, and House Republicans are MIA, protecting Trump from the Epstein files. Priorities?

By next spring, they'll be bragging about the passenger airliner they shot out of the sky because it was filled with "antifa commandos"

small government don't-tread-on-me conservatism at work

As crisis conditions worsen in Ukraine, Trump finds new ways to coddle Russia’s Putin During an event for the World Cup, the president — unprompted — decided to let everyone know about a gift he’d received from Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

"If Trump wants people to stop marveling at his degrading weakness when it comes to the Russian president, he’ll have to start avoiding embarrassing displays like these..."

GOOD TWEET. GOOD MOOD. FIGHT.

A tale of two vibes.

Tonight in Washington D.C.

The sign reads: “The Bondi order is unlawful you are not obligated to follow it”

National Guard chatter from the front lines in Georgetown:

“You got eyes on this?”

“Could be a weapon.”

“Hold.”

“What are you seeing?”

“Stand down. It’s a falafel wrap. Looks like a male, thin, late 40s with a falafel wrap. Walking a schnauzer.”

“OK. Stay sharp boys. Eyes on the dog.”

YouTube video by Sandi Bachom Timeline: The National Guard Was Requested (And Denied) 14 Times At The Capitol Riots 1/6/21

Trump refused to call the National Guard on January 6 and lied about it under oath. In DC there are only two people who can deploy the guard, the president and the secretary of defense. These are the 14 times they denied the guard on January 6.

Trump is deploying the national guard tomorrow in DC proving he lied under oath. He, not Pelosi is the only one who can deploy

There’s zero reason to call out the National Guard in DC and it’s disturbing how quickly he skipped from immigrants to the homeless population. It should take people’s breath away. Quick history recap — Hitler's regime targeted people with disabilities and the homeless early on.

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”?

You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

I see.

Mark Kelly: "I hope we got something out of this. Putin is a war criminal. This is not a show of strength to allow him to fly into the United States to land here to negotiate with our president."

Landlords Commit $2.5 Million to Help Cuomo's Mayoral Campaign The money, the largest example of outside spending by a single donor in the New York City mayor's race, will go toward campaign ads on Andrew M. Cuomo's behalf.

When you see Cuomo attacking Mamdani over his rent stabilized one bedroom in Queens, do recall this please:

Missouri Democratic lawmakers are in such a superminority that they don’t even need to show up for laws to be passed in this state.

An even sadder statement? A piece of legislation can go from the House to the Senate to becoming a law on the Governor’s desk while never being signed by a woman.

“The lumberjack from Real World Boston is building a nuclear reactor on the moon” is a phrase that might have gotten you a wellness check a year ago.

August 1, 2025 AMERICAN ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION Committee on Economic Statistics and Committee on Government Relations Statement from the American Economic Association on the Dismissal of the BLS Commissioner Leaders of the American Economic Association express their grave concern over the dismissal of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) earlier today. The independence of the federal statistical agencies is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy. Accurate, timely, and impartial statistics are the foundation upon which households, businesses, and policymakers make critical decisions. Undermining the independence or credibility of these agencies threatens the integrity of the information that markets, institutions, and the public rely on every day. Measuring the vast and dynamic U.S. economy in real time is inherently challenging. It is standard practice for statistical estimates to be revised as more complete and higher-quality data become available. These revisions reflect the commitment of statistical agencies to accuracy, transparency, and methodological rigor-not failure or bias. The BLS has long had a well-deserved reputation for professional excellence and nonpartisan integrity. Safeguarding this tradition is vital for the continued health of the U.S. economy and public trust in our institutions. We call upon elected officials to respect and preserve the independence of the nation's statistical infrastructure. Lawrence Katz President, American Economic Association Katharine Abraham President-Elect, American Economic Association Karen Dynan Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Economic Statistics Kenneth Troske Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Government Relations

Statement from the largest economics association about the BLS firing

As context: AEA approximately never makes such public statements

This is a big deal
