The CRAZY thing nobody is talking about too is that nothing is ever gonna be cheap again.
If corporations see that we’ll pay these elevated prices, they have no reason to not make those prices their baseline

Argos is having sleepovers with Mike while we’re in England. He seems comfy while Mike is giving side eye.

When do you think that the reason Yambo and his minions have stalled so hard to bring Abrego Garcia back is because he was killed in that prison in El Salvador? Don’t you suppose Yambo has greater power over Nayib Bukele than Bukele than vice versa? 🤔

As on point today as it was during WWII: Midway through this terrible period, the imprisoned Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci is said to have remarked, “The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”
Now are the monsters of OUR time, eh Donold?

30 years ago a professor explained tariffs to me as “economic sanctions a country puts on itself” and that stuck with me.

Thurmond was 57 at the time of his fillibuster, was allowed a bathroom break and Goldwater stepped in to allow him a second one (not sure about that - conflicting stories).
Cory Booker is 55, 2 years younger than Thurmond was at the time. See a difference? Amazing what hate does to age one.

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated.
The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

Even though I knew he was gay, I had the worst fan crush on Richard Chamberlain as a teenager. RIP, Richard!

I swear, I’m in California and I get up every morning, and as my browser cranks up, I’m thinking, “What part of democracy and the Constitution has he destroyed today.” Reading a few obituaries would perk me right up, though.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president.
Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

Remember this? Jeff Daniels' character in The Newsroom. It’s more appropriate now than it was then. I weep for what we’ve become. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJh9t9h6Wn0

Members of the Yemen Signal chat—including NatSec Advisor Michael Waltz and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles—left their Venmo accounts exposed, linking them to politicians, doctors, tailors, lobbyists, and each other.
Experts say it a digital op-sec disaster.

I find it ironic that the Trump Administration finds himself in a catch-22 situation if they want to pursue the reporter they need to declare that the information was classified and he released it but if they do that that means that they're responsible for a security leak by Pete Hegseth & Waltz

Only two things get you sacked:
1. Explicitly or implicitly criticising Trump; and
2. Proving more popular than Trump.
That's it.

This is how much Yambo and his administration care about operational security:
"We don't care what the media says," a Trump adviser said. "We can easily handle what would kill any other administration. This will blow over."
Sadly, I think he’s right.
