Citizenship of Nauru, an island nation spanning just 8 square miles in the southwest Pacific Ocean, can be yours for $105,000. The tiny, low-lying island has launched a “golden passport” initiative with the aim of raising money to fund climate action.

I’m bringing Doug tonight because Trump needs to face at least some of the people he’s unlawfully put out of work.

Doug served at the National Science Foundation. It powers our basic scientific research, and it’s a target of Trump’s short-sighted cuts.

Quick reminder ahead of Donald Trump’s speech tonight:

He promised that he would “immediately bring prices down, starting on Day 1.”

It’s now Day 44.

Prices have gone up.

Inflation’s gotten worse.

And Trump’s done nothing to lower costs for working people.

Bluesky is a great site but you have to unlearn EVERYTHING Twitter has ever taught you to make it useable.

Repost yourself. Interact with others. Use tags. Use feeds. Be kind and find kindness. Comment away. It's really really freeing.

How bad is this?

Let me count the ways

Also, and related, short of firing Powell (or trying, anyway) screwing with economic data would be just about the dumbest (and worst) thing to do

lol at least two of the five are “throw trans people under the bus” but left as subtext.
New: Last month, a group of moderate Democratic consultants, campaign staffers, elected officials & party leaders gathered in Loudoun County, Virginia, for a retreat where they plotted their party’s comeback.

We got their takeaways. t.co/bEwlg4jbtM
