That’s right.

Lovely classical front porch with a flag flown and a sign that says “Pro America Anti Trump.”

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?

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

and in many places it was the only place to buy deep catalog items or imports. case in point, I worked at a record store that could only afford to stock a few 4ad imports. We had to price higher than Tower who had dozens in stock.

another thing Weiss does is give other very dull people a vehicle to spout bog-standard right-wing ideas and pretend they're being iconoclasts or innovative.

Perry Bacon @perrybaconjr.bsky.social · 1d

Weiss very intentionally does not describe herself as a conservative or Republican and wraps her politics in terms like "free press." That makes more useful at advancing Trumpism than explicitly right-wing figures. newrepublic.com/article/2014...

The new CBS executive isn’t exactly MAGA. But her polite Trumpism will still help destroy America as we know it.

ICYMI: Donald Trump said Monday he’d be open to striking a deal with Democrats on the health care subsidies they’ve made central to their shutdown fight.

But he also said "billions and billions" are being wasted, nodding to arguments from conservatives who do not want the subsidies extended.

I know it's a high bar but I'm not sure there is a more cynical rise through American society — at least through media — in recent memory than that of Bari Weiss. Like if the term "bad faith" had arms and legs and was given $150 million and allowed to run CBS News.

If a high ranking Democrat ever said "the NFL sucks" it would be looped endlessly on the news as proof of how out of touch Dems are for the next 40 years.

Saying "The NFL sucks.." really is a bold strategy, let's see how that goes

Kristi Noem’s message to the NFL for selecting Bad Bunny for the halftime show:

“The NFL sucks and we’ll win and God will bless us and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day and they won’t be able to sleep at night because they don’t know what they believe…”
