The word for what Jesse Watters is describing here is un-American. A shredding of the constitution.

There nothing funny about it.

Trump: This is somebody nobody else can do. We will get the drug prices down… 1000% 600% 500% 1500%. Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable.

Maurene Comey's goodbye note to SDNY colleagues:

As of June 1, nearly 25% of the people arrested by ICE in the interior and sent to detention had NO CRIMINAL RECORD.

Data from the last six years, including 1.5 years of Trump's first term, reveals how this is completely unprecedented. It also helps explain the growing backlash.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

The March fiscal monitor shows Canada collected $617-M more in customs duties than it did last year, which is presumably how much Ottawa's retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. reaped over the first month.

The 2018 steel tariffs just called to remind you that steel is produced by a tiny sliver of the economy, but used as an input by a much broader swathe of manufacturers.

The new Pope didn't tweet once in 2024. In 2025, he's posted 5 times, in which he:

- Criticized JD Vance's views on Catholicism and Jesus
- Posted an article opposing Trump's immigration policies
- Retweeted twice about the Pope's health
- Retweeted a criticism of Trump & Bukele's laughter at KAG.

Found this old ad from the Episcopal Church and this is insane

Apparently 1-in-3 Americans would have suffered fentanyl-related deaths in the last 100 days (from each taking one fifth of a pill) if not for the Attorney General's innumeracy.

I guarantee I will love your new book. Send it to me now and I’ll tell you just how much ;)

I for one will not feel safe until I'm sure my truck drivers can parse Jane Austin's Sense and Sensibility.

My statement on the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis:

APOLLO: “It normally takes 18 months on average for the US to negotiate a trade deal. .. While markets wait for trade negotiations with 90 countries at the same time, global trade is grinding to a standstill .. if current policies do not change, then the probability of a US recession in 2025 is 90%”

They didn't even do this by going off a list of countries + subnational customs territories (Hong Kong etc). They copy-pasted the CIA Factbook list of countries + their list of all dependencies, many of which are uninhabited little rocks. Few other lists bother including ones like Heard & McDonald.

If you're wondering if it's normal to wait until a tax to go into effect before telling people what the tax actually is, no it's not. These things are usually announced at least a year before going into effect bsky.app/profile/dean...
