The Jerome Powell head shake while Trump bloviates about the cost of the Federal Reserve headquarters was devastating. 😂 I love when people treat him like he is just that dumb.

INCENDIARY?! Grow. A. Spine.

Apple will literally do anything to avoid making a touchscreen Mac. Lol

NEW: Inside the Billion-Dollar Effort to Make Trump Feel Good About Himself

Trump’s administration is marshaling vast public resources and more than $1 billion worth of taxpayer money to flatter the president.

Full story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

If Stephen Miller doesn’t dress as Dracula for every Halloween, that’s a real missed opportunity.

40% of Trump's wealth has been accumulated since he became president because of two crypto coins.

It's corruption, whether or not Republicans want to talk about it.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.

Can we PLEASE stop referring to it as the “Big, Beautiful Bill?” It’s bad enough we have to live through the erosion of American democracy, we don’t also have to use their incredibly stupid names.

CFPB Quietly Kills Rule to Shield Americans From Data Brokers Russell Vought, acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has canceled plans to more tightly regulate the sale of Americans’ sensitive personal data.

Russell Vought, acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has canceled plans to introduce new rules designed to limit the ability of US data brokers to sell Americans’ most sensitive data, credit history, and Social Security numbers.

Trump's crypto venture is fleecing his supporters.

80% of the new or small-time crypto investors in Trump’s coin have been hit with big losses.

Meanwhile, his team is making millions off the coin’s trading fees, which stay stable even when its value goes down.

It’s a grift.

I know some of you may do this anyway, but I nonetheless urge you NOT to send items like these to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, 601 D St. NW, Washington, DC 20530. Please do NOT do that. Thank you.

Chris Krebs is America’s next profile in courage. The entire nation should support this honorable and courageous fellow citizen.

Maybe next time let’s not elect someone who runs because they’re trying to not go to jail?

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country

"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Trump Tariffs Hit Antarctic Islands Inhabited by Zero Humans and Many Penguins The Heard and McDonald Islands are among the dozens of targets of President Donald Trump's latest round of tariffs. But they have no exports, because no one lives there.

NEW: Donald Trump announced the US was imposing reciprocal tariffs on a small collection of Antarctic islands that are not inhabited by humans, as part of a global trade war aimed at asserting US dominance.

The Heard and McDonald Islands are known for their populations of penguins.

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.

@reckless.bsky.social @davidpierce.xyz the best way for @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social to have called out his inclusion in the chat would have been to ask for comment IN THE CHAT.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose and

The President does not have the constitutional or statutory authority to dictate the content of voter registration forms. This EO is an incredibly dangerous power grab. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Lobbyist And Government Contractor Bought JD Vance’s Home For $170,000 Over Asking Price The buyer, a Trump appointee during his first term, denies any political motive—calling the $1.9 million deal purely market-driven.

"A government contractor and lobbyist who served in President Donald Trump’s first administration bought Vice President JD Vance’s Virginia home in an above-market deal, a sale his spokesperson says was based on the market."

$170,000 ABOVE ASKING PRICE

Reminds me of the time when Jared K had a personal WhatsApp chat with MBS. The examples go on, and on, and on…

@DHSgov on X: On March 9, 2025, in support of President Trump’s executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism, and in coordination with the Department of State, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student. Khalil led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. ICE and the Department of State are committed to enforcing President Trump’s executive orders and to protecting U.S. national security. 8:29 PM · Mar 9, 2025

Executive orders are not laws. Anti-semitism, while abhorrent, is not illegal. "Activities aligned" to a terrorist organization are not material support for a terrorist organization. The former is legal and protected by the 1st Amendment. The latter isn't.

This is a lawless statement of a dictator.

If @reckless.bsky.social and @davidpierce.xyz don’t talk about @jay.bsky.team sxsw tee on this weeks vergecast. Imma quit.
