We need to amend the Constitution to require every US senator to take Econ 101 before assuming office.
Tim Scott: "Our employment? Almost at full employment, 4.1 percent. What else do we need to have this economy on fire? We need lower interest rates."

So a government drowning in trillion-dollar deficits would borrow $150 billion more at 4.5% interest rates that taxpayers will be paying forever, in order to compensate us for higher tariff prices that they deny are actually happening. Makes sense.

This is the core proposition & selling point for reactionary thought: not that they are better, but simply that *everyone* is corrupt, everyone is a crook, everyone's just out for themselves, so you might as well get yours. That is the molten core of right-wing thought everywhere.

“Constitutional rights do not end when someone has an accent.” 🙌🏻
Sen. Garrett told a recent story from Greensboro where ICE agents broke into a house without a warrant and arrested a man based on a false tip and refused to look at his documentation.
"This is what happens when we abandon constitutional protections in the name of immigration enforcement."

Yes, getting off on watching YouTube clips of immigrants at their court hearings grabbed by ICE is twisted & cruel. But the cruelty is the point. The entire Republican Party base gets off on this cruelty. Nancy Mace is running for Governor in SC. She knows who she’s talking to.

In one swift moment, a traffic stop turned into a violent arrest.
Video footage of the incident show a group of officers detaining three men. Afterward, agents can be heard bragging and making light of the arrests, calling the use of a stun gun “funny”.

Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.

The fact that the most powerful Republican officials in the nation don’t understand Monetary Policy 101 is an important detail that too often goes overlooked.
CNBC: Do you think Jay Powell should stick around?
MIKE JOHNSON: My opinion is that we should reduce interest rates. The American economy is hot.
CNBC: But if it's too hot, you don't want to cut rates.
