Time for another review of the REAL #TrumpInflationCrisis. I compared prices on Biden's last day in office versus 12/9/25 prices under Trump's ecomonic "genius". My standard Kroger "cart" is up 10%+. These items are jacked up the most, often accompanied by shrinkflation. Are we winning yet?

Here’s an idea to make daily life more affordable for Americans. Institute a 2% excise tax over income of $750k. You could then practically eliminate federal tax on gasoline which is $.0184 per gallon #Econsky

6% GDP? Not enough humans. #econsky
I remember when he floated a 6% GDP in his first term — and the PIMCO economist who was with us on-set chuckled and said: “Not enough people.” 🤡
uh, because it is literally a physical impossibility?

FOREX US dollar tumbles after Fed cuts rates, Powell comments
The U.S. dollar fell against major peers including the euro, Swiss franc, and Japanese yen on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates in a widely-expected move, but indicated it will likely pause its easing cycle at the next policy meeting in January.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

That means the grand jury refused to indict.

it is actually kind of bananas how unitary executive theorists have taken a straightforward clause requiring the president to "faithfully execute the laws" and transformed it into a grant for the exercise of limitless unenumerated power.
The Take Care Clause was a byproduct of the lessons learned from the Glorious Revolution that the executive should not be able to dispense with the law promulgated by the legislature. It was not a constitutional provision to empower the executive branch— but to constrain it!
