What's happening with furniture prices? A tale of $399 couches and tariffs Competition, whether from overseas rivals or second-hand goods, has kept the price of furniture relatively low. New tariffs may boost U.S. makers β€” and raise prices.

At what point should such goals require the public to force those in power out by any means?
I mean this as a serious question.

It feels like we are letting a lot of openly, overtly dangerous people work to end the republic.

This is a good point. (No snark.) I'm sure this SCOTUS sneers at Trump in private, but the conservative majority is trying to bank power for a better version of a right-winger.

Excuse me, but you throw food at a cop, you're probably gonna get a trip to the Graybar Hotel for a night. That was true even before Trump. I've seen people in the back of a cruiser for less. Getting charged with a *felony* was the authoritarian overreach - and it failed.

NEW: Sandwich guy jury has a note for the judge! What does it say? If it were me, I’d want to hear Lairmore’s testimony again, but read in a series of muppet character voices.

1/ Russian soldiers are being handcuffed to each other, pepper-sprayed, and beaten to force them to go to the front lines. A soldier says that ex-POWs and badly wounded men on crutches are being forced to fight. "They're just throwing us in for meat," he says. ⬇️

Look, I know I poke the kids about fascism, but in a fascist state, you don't get charged with a felony about a sandwich and then walk out when a jury - and the nation - laughs at the prosecutors.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker β€œif she wins” I am definitely going to prison.

So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

(Reuters) - Meta internally projected late last year that it would earn about 10% of its overall annual revenue – or $16 billion – from running advertising for scams and banned goods, internal company documents show.

if someone is willing to pay for the products, i'd be willing to purchase these items, deconstruct them, and give them to expert tailors, shoemakers, and craftspeople for review. i will also see if i can track down the factories. i would be interested to know if these items are made in the US

We are not even *close* to that. And if people keep showing up to vote the way they did on Tuesday, we never will be.

I remember that atmosphere as a boy. And I returned to Greece as a young teen a year after the colonels were gone. But if you want to see people afraid, an opposition in trouble, a government on the edge - then please, watch that film. It's about a real descent into authoritarianism. /2

If you truly worry we're headed for fascism, then watch the 1969 movie "Z", a barely-veiled retelling of the 1963 assassination of Greek politician Lambrakis, made two years after the junta took power. It was on TCM last night, but I saw it as a kid after being in Greece in that time. /1

A photo of Tasneem and her children and her destroyed home. With the words: "I'm Tasneem, a mother of three children.  I used to live a simple life, full of love despite its simplicity - but everything changed on  October 7.  Our home was completely destroyed, we've been displaced more than 15 times, and now we live in daily hell.  My only dream is to secure a safe life for my children outside of Gaza.  Any support - even just €5 - could change their future and give them a sense of safety. Help us build a new hope for them. ❀️"

Like many of the displaced civilians in Gaza, my dear friend Tasneem relies on this platform to raise direct donations so she can feed her children, pay for medic services and raise funds to rebuild their lives.

Please give to Tasneem and to others. πŸ™

How one tech startup is giving cash to SNAP recipients Propel makes a free app for people on food stamps. Now it's giving some of them $50 each, as some private companies, nonprofits, and individuals scramble to help.

If anyone wants to help me liberate Dick Cheney's grand jury transcript, LMK.

[He had a June 2004 interview with Pat Fitz, and then a later August 2004 interview, in Jackson Hole, that was treated as a GJ transcript. The latter is what I want.]
