If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Michigan Avenue right now.

... and then he's supposedly leaving for the Middle East? Why? There is a government shutdown!

Someone looking at all this with a cold eye might say that Miller and Hegseth are seeking control over the power ministries before a Vance ally invokes the 25th Amendment.

Always the best way to celebrate getting $20 billion from the Trump administration to screw US soybean farmers.

White House and DHS cancelling a $11b payment in disaster-relief funds meant to reimburse states that have already had to bear the brunt of recovery — from NC to TX.

It becomes an IOU for next year, reducing FEMA's already diminished $26.5b by nearly half. We'll have only $15.5b until Sept. 2026.

What donyou mean he's leaving for the Middle East? Was that planned? An official visit or a spur of the moment trip?

Is anyone going to ask why he would be leaving the country in the middle of a government SHUTDOWN!?!

*laughs to stop from crying*

Pritzker on Consider This earlier:

"There's some sort of dementia going on, and he just keeps repeating things from years gone by."

Not the main point, but this section on the Medicaid work requirements shows that the Republican model of "efficiency" is simply creating a ridiculous new bureaucracy that will force people off Medicaid.

People keep saying “feudalism,” but it actually just company towns.

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

The guy we are saving with $20B bailout

This strikes me as pretty bad

Durbin: “The president said he wanted to use American cities as 'training grounds for our military' to fight 'the enemy within.' Chicago is not the enemy. Our fellow Americans are not the enemy."

The complete and total bullshit about this is that it should have been the FIRST question asked of Johnson. It is a disgrace that he was not asked about this before he ended his press conference. Unbelievable that he continues to get away with this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

WATCH — @whitehouse.senate.gov : “What became of the $50,000 in cash in that Cava bag? Did the FBI get it back from Homan?”

AG PAM BONDI: *LASHES OUT aggressively, avoids answering entirely* 🤷🏼‍♀️

I remember when I used to go DAYS—WEEKS EVEN—without thinking about the President of the United States because I wasn’t worried about him starting a civil or world war, making a gestapo police force, or ripping our constitution to shreds.

Lawless Russell Vought thinks he can nullify a law by deleting it from an FAQ

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

Apparently American journalism is so bad they can't seem to capture any footage or eyewitness reports of "hand-to-hand combat" occurring every night in major city. You'd think at least the local TV news would be getting something.

The president of Puerto Rico is on every page of the Epstein Files.

Wait! Where are the $17 trillion Trump said we got from the tariffs?
