He obviously knows the jobs report this week is going to be terrible. But Haslett says not to worry because a tiny handful of people are concentrating more wealth than at any point in human history and we should all be happy for them. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Hassett: "There's a chance that job creation lags, productivity skyrockets, profits skyrocket, GDP skyrockets, but then all of the sudden you're making 20 widgets and you can make 20 widgets with fewer persons, and then that person has to find a new job. I think that kind of transition could happen"

You buy an album. 5 songs are great, 3 meh, and 2 atrocious, but you LOVE those 5 songs so much, you give your friend the album. They listen, agree 5 songs are bangers, but only half of it is good so no thank you, it's not for them. Enraged, you say they hate music.

It’s a loyalty test. It’s always a loyalty test. And every time Republicans feign ignorance or hem and haw, it gives him the green light to go even further.
BREAKING: Trump says he 'didn't make a mistake' with his racist video post.

Q:  "A number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post. Is that something you're going to do?"

Trump: "No, I didn't make a mistake."

He adds later: "I guess it was a take off on the Lion King."

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

I really wonder if there is a level of overt racism from the Trump Administration, whether rhetorical or as explicit basis for policy, that would get traditional media outlets like @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com and @cnn.com to say he’s being racist.

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We hit 'em. And we want to hit 'em right, sir, and we want to hit them from the top! East, west, north, south. Sir, they won't know what the hell! And we'll knock them out. We did it politically correct. Five years."

I'm as annoyed by the grifty Democratic fundraising emails as anyone, but they are nothing compared to the grifty (and bigoted) Republican pitches for money.

Labeling Cuba as a “national security threat” is a lie used to justify economic war. The goal is to crush the Cuban people, manufacture a humanitarian catastrophe, and force regime change at any cost.

It is unconscionable and cruel. We must stop it.

I cannot stress enough how, if this exact sworn testimony was given about a Democratic president, he would be forced to resign by the end of the week. There is no question in my mind. But instead, Republicans are actively helping Trump not only evade prosecution, but cover up his alleged crimes.
This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.
