The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Having a Word — Tap Magazine Bewitchment and confusion in analytic dialogue

“We tend to underestimate the power of the unspoken affect organizing our viewpoint…Our dreams reveal to us our demands and terrors, as do our sudden rages, longings, reveries, bursts of laughter, or quietly unsettling angst; a key analytic idea starting with Freud.”

Border lines: A patient's "defensiveness" is intersubjective

Wow. This is a member of the president's party saying she is afraid (I take it) of him. This should be an inflection point. Principled Republicans need to speak up, even if they worry about what might happen, because they helped bring us here.

Lewis has written so much about the human experience. He knows.

‘Trump induced economic crisis’: Markets continue to drop as major firms raise odds of recession
YouTube video by MSNBC ‘Trump induced economic crisis’: Markets continue to drop as major firms raise odds of recession

The ONLY economist who supports Trump's bogus pseudo-Nationalistic extortionist illegal Trade Tariff War is FAKE "economist" Peter Navarro, who is himself delusional, another convicted felon, and economically illiterate. Trump unquestionably DESTROYING the USA economy; the question is why, for whom?

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are destroying Social Security.

And they're tanking your 401(k).

They want you to work until you die.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.

I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

Interestingly enough, if you take the top 10 largest dollar drops, the entire chart is Trump and Bush 43.

Weird how Obama and Biden aren’t on there, despite the growth of the $DJIA over the years.
