Peripatetic and I like it. Read a lot of headlines, so I pass them along. Based in Northern California. Resist!

All questions to guests about Epstein or Trump or both. Every musical transition a song like Thank Heavens for Little Girls. Every Monologue joke. Etc.
It's a great day to cancel your Paramount+ subscription. #Colbert

"Financial reasons" my ass. This is political.
CBS canceled Colbertโs show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump โ a deal that looks like bribery.
America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.
Watch and share his message.
Colbert will probably find somewhere to land, but this is not good for CBS. Assume this means the beginning of the end

What a leader. reminder that we do have good people. It is so awful & bleak right now. Absolutely nothing good happening. But maybe we can get back to that. A lot of people are going to suffer in the near term. I hope enough people make it to the other side & help us turn this boat around. #FiredUp

โEven though the cuts phase in over time, the uncertainty hits right now. This isn't just a bad bill, this is a moral failure.
It will no longer help the poor. Shame on us. ๐
10.07.2025 15:21 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Stephen Moore, who has served as an economic adviser to Trump, said the proposal should be characterized as providing benefits to seniors, since it would lower their taxes on sales of stocks and potentially homes, though the first $500,000 in capital gains from home sales are already protected from taxes.
In an interview, Norquist said he directly recommended to Trump in a recent phone call that he should implement the change by executive order after passage of the tax bill, reminding the president that he had explored this option during his first term. Norquist, who argues that the new policy will help open up the housing market, said he has also talked to Bessent about the proposal.
Trump is being urged to unilaterally change tax rules on capital gainsโwith 86% of the benefits going to the top 1%โand the rationales are really something.

Trump's tariffs will cost the average household $2,400 per year, estimates the Yale Budget Lab. And they take a bigger chunk out of working class paychecks.
The Admin hasn't released its analysis, suggesting it didn't do any, or its numbers are worse.
