Again, the solution to this problem of a person occupying the presidency who does not follow laws & does not respect court rulings is neither more laws nor court rulings:

So now they're paying for the service but not using it?

I too think more networks should run "pro-America content" like handy explainers on the constitutional limitations on the president's powers and the independence of Congress

Southern California air board rejected pollution rules after AI-generated flood of comments The opposition appeared overwhelming: Tens of thousands of emails poured into Southern California's top air pollution authority as its board weighed a June proposal to phase out gas-powered appliances...

They were going to pass rules to phase out gas stoves, until they received 20,000 public comments against the regulations. Except, oops, it turns out the comments were generated by AI.

I saw a blog post from him in January, curious to see how it squares with the Impoundment Control Act.

So much of the discussion of the temporary Rural Health Transformation Fund ignores/downplays that any new rural initiatives will happen at the same time as far larger, permanent #Medicaid cuts that will seriously damage rural health. The headlines and reporting here provides that critical context.

Meanwhile, Trump's policies are emptying the Social Security and Medicare Hospital trust funds faster.

All my life, Democrats have bent over backwards to run scrupulously scandal-free administrations, while Republicans have wallowed publicly and unapologetically in crime and corruption ... and Democrats have gotten zero advantage for it. Zilch.

im pretty sure i had a half gallon bucket soda from KFC once.

CBO finds after passage of Trump's tax cuts and recent economic adjustments, the Medicare hospital trust fund will be exhausted in 2040, "12 years earlier than in our most recent estimate.. which was published in March 2025."

"Why aren't reporters asking whether the president has the legal right to launch another Middle Eastern war?"

From my Zeteo piece/newsletter today:

"These tariffs have been in effect for almost a year. They have upended whole sectors of the U.S. & global economies. The fact that a president can illegally exercise such powers for so long & w/ such great consequences for almost a year means we’re not living in a functional constitutional system."

“The tariffs have utterly failed to restore manufacturing jobs, which are falling in part due to the misguided application of the tariffs themselves.” @gregsargent.bsky.social on the Supreme Court striking down of Trump’s most central—and most ruinous!—policy agendas.

I'm getting extremely tired of unqualified douchebags gaining control of multiple federal bureaucratic fiefdoms

All of these people should have been prosecuted and/or disbarred

Will Hassett respond with an actual rebuttal of the data and analysis? Of course not. That would be something a real economist does. Threatening people's jobs for providing uncongenial information is what a Trump apparatchik does.

This is why expertise needs to be protected, in the Fed & elsewhere.

if It happens when im off work im not sure if i'll be more thrilled or disappointed
