Yup, they don't understandyears. that the numbers mean. They are basing that claim on the CPI, but I know my bill has gone up more than 2.4% over the last year. Definitely means nothing about the last month.

2.4 in a month is a lot, 2.4 y/y is normal. So they either screwed up their units, or they are entirely full of shit

What the congressman reports below is disgusting.
He reveals the utter lack of decency and humanity in the Trump administration, especially in the telling detail at the end.

AOC in Munich: “They are looking to withdraw the United States from the entire world so that we can into an age of authoritarianism — of authoritarians that can carve out the world, where Donald Trump can command the Western Hemisphere & Latin America as his personal sandbox”

DHS: Our officer was ambushed and beaten with snow shovels and broom handles. This was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement.

ICE says federal agents appear to have lied about confrontation that led to shooting

Agents had initially said that two men — Alfredo Aljorna and Julio Sosa Celis – assaulted them with a broom and a shovel before one of them shot Sosa Celis. But that account was quickly called into question, and prosecutors now say “newly discovered evidence” contradicts the officers’ story.

The default assumption should be that they’re lying

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

It's complicated, but if you listen to the Fed they don't think all effects from tariffs are through the system. It's also impossible to know what tariffs were really applied, since just a cluster f.

Let's say tariffs were 5%, if we haven't seen 5% inflation then it hasn't fully passed through

A) This is a lie. Other countries have it.
B) Trump uses it regularly.

Bottom line: They are afraid of you voting.

Also, the x-used cars is a factor, meaning they removed used cars from the calculation. Could be used cars dropped and that helped the cpi drop.

This is my point about m/m vs y/y. As a year goes, inflation is trending down, since it's spread out over 12 months. As a month goes, it's up from last month.

The big question has been, when do tariffs hit and how much. It shows maybe they're starting to show up now. Took while last time.

Yes. We'll see if the pattern extends or it's a one time thing.

Inflation m/m not y/y so numbers aren't as impressive

Looks at the prices of everything still jumping year after year... sure it's only 2%. I guess of you never buy anything that could be a number based in reality.

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

“It’s probably the best work I’ve ever done,” said Murray. But afterwards, he and director Harold Ramis “didn’t speak for about ten years. .. I thought there was more there, more suffering, more anguish. And he wanted more comedy. And that’s where we disagreed.”

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

He actually follows his constituents more than Fetterman. Not saying much, but I had to say something nice about a Republican today

This is cnbc, that's the most you'll get when it's not actively spreading right wing propaganda

Where the hell did he pull that last bit about the crime rate out of? What propaganda factory did that spew from?

And thanks to Trump, this is the direction all of america is heading. They'll make sure the EPA shuts down all investigations.

NEW: Oklahoma regulators discovered strong signs of oil pollution, including high levels of salt and toxic metals, in one family’s drinking water.

But for two years, they repeatedly delayed basic tests to find the culprit — then closed the case.

Wow... bury the investigation and they'll just use that line. Holy cow are they complicit in thr cover up and corruption of government.

Incorrect.

Robert Mueller testified under oath that there was Russian interference in the election. And, the Mueller Report revealed the same.

"The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion."

Some games can be brutal, particularly on Sat and in the upper section. I'm pretty sure the last game I was at where I was straight up annoyed was a Mets game

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

The Democrats idea of fighting fascism.

Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen:
"We'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota...I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution... and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear."
