Trump said he was going to reduce the federal deficit, analysts say his policies will increase it by $4.1 Trillion. We knew this was going to happen since before he was elected. Send tweet.

This is profoundly irresponsible by AGSulzberger’s NYT, @by-cjewett.bsky.social +eds.
The normalization, “view-from-nowhere”, “born-yesterday”, stenography, “both-sides”, irresponsible headline are disgraceful.
THE story is the CDC&FDA are being destroyed by antiscience & Americans will die.

Pete Hegseth committed a war crime and then doubled down.
He instructed the military to murder civilians at sea and when there were injured victims he gave the order to kill them all.
Surviving victims were brutally dismembered at sea by US missiles.

There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.

Instead of working to lower costs, Trump is boosting power-hungry AI data centers.

Then it occurred to me that “Quiet, piggy!” is probably something Trump’s dad screamed at Trump’s mom.
