It is quite an achievement to be such a screw up that you're sitting pretty as a gun toting fed in the Trump admin and you get caught in an O'Keefe honeypot sting.

Trump’s attack on Fed already starting to backfire. Republican Sen. Tillis: “I will oppose the confirmation of any nominee for the Fed—including the upcoming Fed Chair vacancy—until this legal matter is fully resolved.”

Never underestimate the power of people lying themselves so they don’t have to look at what they really have convinced themselves they support. Material interests applying to yourself is a physiological shock most people dodge.

"The question that you're basically asking is, can our cops arrest them? From a legal perspective, yes. From a practical perspective...they have bigger guns than we do." That's where we're at.

Look out for @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social on today's Bulwark Podcast with @timmiller.bsky.social!

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's Saturday.
Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

yes! a good number of MAHA-approved products are just repurposed waste from beef production
i'm not saying this as anyone who knows anything about health; i'm saying it as someone who is an alleged expert in interest group politics: the American beef industry is all over MAHA, wellness, and podcast spaces.

remember "bacon mania?" totally a marketing strategy by the pork industry.
New federal dietary guidelines give federal approval to beef tallow, a fat that both cardiologists and the U.S. government told Americans to avoid for nearly half a century.

I am sorry but I am sick of this kind of question. “I speak for the working class and the working class can’t understand difficult terms, also what do you.” Labor work will never be a YouTube show.

The two people ICE shot and left on the street in Portland, they didn’t even bother arresting. Why is that?

What do they claim today: “terrorists.”

Terrorists so dangerous they left them at the scene, unarrested.

The whole recent dynamic of consumer-facing businesses that exist due to capturing a large % of rich consumer spending and then offer some capacity and a worse experience to non-rich consumers leads to a lot of societal tension.

The days of lead paint and the night of long sporks. Sad.

If this becomes a giant lawsuit, "Donald J Trump should be allowed to rule over us like a syphilitic Mad King" versus "predatory lenders should be allowed to fuck over the little guy at every turn" is possibly the only way you could get Samuel Alito to understand why Sophie's Choice was a tragedy
lmao
Trump: "AFFORDABILITY! Effective January 20, 2026, I, as President of the United States, am calling for a one year cap on Credit Card Interest Rates of 10%."
