I am beyond enraged. My father died at 66 from pancreatic cancer. He never got to meet his daughter-in-law let alone his granddaughter. In the time since he died in 2008, pancreatic cancer has risen to be the 3rd leading cause of cancer-related deaths, up from 4th. These people are evil.

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.”

I know everyone focused on Fed atm, but drove past former Iranian Embassy at 6pm on Mass Ave (across from British Embassy) and @dcfireems.bsky.social ladder truck was there w/Secret Service fiddling with the flag and flag pole. No idea whether they were taking flag down or what, but very odd.

and not even just investors. many businesses and their groups — often loud about the things in Washington that displease them — have tread carefully under Trump even while acknowledging privately the risks of Fed meddling. this will test them, too.
This is going to force a lot of investors and powerful finance people to reckon with Trump in a way they have been desperately trying to avoid.

It’s hard to know if people outside MN understand how much of life is grinding to a halt here because of Trump’s occupation. Schools have shut down, businesses are scaling back hours or closing because their employees aren’t safe. The whole city is weighted down.

This was a major initiative from the Biden White House, based in the idea of getting together all the countries with a stake in this crisis. They pressured China to stop precursor chemicals, hit hard at the capital funding for production in Mexico, and funded Narcan in the U.S. It apparently worked.

Can we just stop and put this into perspective:
Our Scandinavian allies put out joint statements today condemning the United States, and Denmark went as far as explicitly threatening military action while hinting at a potential invocation of Article 5.
That’s genuinely fucking insane.
